Two non-probabilistic set-theoretical models to predict the transient vibrations of cross-ply plates with uncertainty

In practical engineering and scientific researches, all engineering analysis and design problems involve uncertainties to various degrees. Dynamic loads acting on a structure are usually with uncertain nature due to the difficulty of predicting the magnitudes of such loads. In this paper, a non-probabilistic and set-theoretical model named interval analysis method is developed to predict the transient vibrations of cross-ply plates with uncertain excitations. The dynamic loads involve deterministic and uncertain components of force function and initial conditions. Uncertainties in these functions are required to be bounded on the L₂ norm and expressed by finite eigenmodes. Analyzed by a numerical example, the width of the upper and lower bounds of the critical buckling loads that calculated by the interval analysis method is sharper than those are obtained by convex models. Moreover, the interval analysis has less computational cost than convex models. Considering specific cases, the effect of various parameters and the level of uncertainty on the response of the cross-ply plates are different.     

Optimum design of “road-friendly” vehicle suspension systems subjected to rough pavement surfaces

This paper presents an optimum concept to design “road-friendly” vehicles with the recognition of pavement loads as a primary objective function of vehicle suspension design. A walking-beam suspension system is used as an illustrative example of vehicle model to demonstrate the concept and process of optimization. The hypothesis of isotropy is applied to the measured one-dimensional road profile so that a two-dimensional random field model of pavement surface roughness can be achieved. Dynamic response of the walking-beam suspension system is obtained by means of stochastic process theory. Three commonly used objective of suspension optimum design, including ride quality, suspension stroke, and road adhesion, are briefly reviewed. The minimization of the probability of peak value of the tire load exceeding a given value is proposed as an objective function. Using the direct update method, optimization is carried out when tire loads is taken as the objective function of suspension design. The results show that tires with high air pressure and suspension systems with small damping will lead to large tire loads. The concept proposed in this paper is applicable to generic cases, where more complex vehicle model and pavement surface condition apply.

A new correlation method for the aerodynamic service loads determination of a rigid wing based on CFD analysis

A new correlation method for the aerodynamic service loads determination of a rigid wing based on CFD analysis is presented. All flight conditions can be handled by the proposed method. The derived correlation equations are achieved by considering a training fighter aircraft as a prototype. Each wing of aircraft is divided into thirty three parts in the span wise direction. Extensive numerical solutions have been attempted by varying a number of parameters that directly affect the wings aerodynamic loads, such as Mach numbers, angle of attack, control surfaces deflections and etc. For each set of input parameters, the corresponding aerodynamic loads applied to different wing parts are calculated. The resulted loads and the corresponding input parameters are incorporated into a linear regression method in order to develop the appropriate correlation equations. The outputs of the developed equations are the aerodynamic loads at each part of the wing based on the independent variables, which are the above mentioned input parameters. The validity of the developed equations is shown by comparing the loads obtained from the latter equations with the corresponding ones calculated through numerical analysis for different flight conditions. The correlation equations can now be used to calculate the aerodynamic loads at each part for any set of arbitrary values assigned to the input parameters.     

复合载荷作用下带边缘大波纹膜片的非线性弯曲

采用轴对称旋转壳体的简化Reissuer方程,研究了在复合载荷作用下具有硬中心的带边缘大波纹膜片的非线性弯曲问题。应用格林函数方法,将波纹膜片的非线性边值问题化为非线性积分方程进行求解。为了求解积分方程并防止发散,引人一个插值参数到选代格式中。计算表明,当载荷很小时,任何插值参数值均能保证迭代的收敛性,取插值参数值接近或等于1获得较快的收敛速度;而当载荷较大时,插值参数值不能取得过大。绘出了不同载荷组合下波纹膜片的特征曲线,得到的特征曲线可供设计参考。由于均布压力和中心集中载荷的共同作用,将产生比均布压力单独作用更大的挠度。提出的解决方法适应于任意轴向截面的波纹壳体。

A probabilistic description of footbridges vibration serviceability

Vibration serviceability of pedestrian bridges is considered. Imperfections in the human walking force are described as changes in walking factors. Probability distributions of walking frequencies, step length, and amplitude of walking force are taken into account. The imperfections can influence the level of footbridge vibration response. The Monte Carlo method is applied. The generated realizations of the loads formulate a set of initial data for numerical calculations. The probability distribution of maximal vertical acceleration is obtained. The results are presented as a probability that the required level of vibration will not be exceeded. A reliability describing the footbridges serviceability is also estimated. The probabilistic based approach can be used for future optimalizations of footbridge design codes due to the dynamic force loads. (© 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Piezoelectric energy harvesting from vibrations of a beam subjected to multi-moving loads

This study is intended to investigate piezoelectric energy harvesting from vibrations of a beam induced by multi-moving loads. Various multi-moving loads are analyzed by considering various parameters. The system of equations for electro-mechanical materials is derived by using the generalized Hamilton's principle under the assumptions of the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The electromechanical behavior of piezoelectric harvesters in a unimorph configuration is analyzed using finite element method. The Newmark's explicit integration technique is adopted for the transient analysis. The predictions of the results of the finite element models are verified by that of the available solutions. The effects of piezoelectric bonding location, velocity and number of moving loads as well as time lags between moving loads on the produced power are investigated. The numerical results show that the investigated parameters have significant effects on the energy harvesting from a vibration of beams under the action of multi-moving loads.     

Validation of a Structural Optimization Algorithm Transforming Dynamic Loads into Equivalent Static Loads

Generally, structural optimization is carried out based on external static loads. However, all forces have dynamic characteristics in the real world. Mathematical optimization with dynamic loads is almost impossible in a large-scale problem. Therefore, in engineering practice, dynamic loads are often transformed into static loads via dynamic factors, design codes, and so on. Recently, a systematic transformation of dynamic loads into equivalent static loads has been proposed in Refs. 1–3. Equivalent static loads are made to generate at each time step the same displacement field as the one generated by the dynamic loads. In this research, it is verified that the solution obtained via the algorithm of Refs. 1–3 satisfies the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker necessary conditions. Application of the algorithm is discussed.

The paper presents mathematical models and solution algorithms for RC pile design, through scanning soil stratums from top to downwards with an interactive scanner band. The equilibrium of transferred loads from the superstructure, friction forces and tip bearing forces are considered for the design, which leads to optimum pile length. The most important contribution of this research for designers is supplying an efficient tool to obtain optimum pile length and reinforced concrete design of pile foundation systems. A program package has been developed in MATLAB depending on the proposed algorithm. Soil behaviors depending on external effects, active and passive zone distributions are considered. All possible effects in all freedom degrees are taken into account in design process. Stress and strain distributions due to axial loads, bending moments, shear forces and torsional moments may be monitored. The optimum pile length, cross section dimension and reinforcement details may be found by using developed algorithm.     

Dynamic load identification for interval structures under a presupposition of ‘being included prior to being measured’

Influences of structural uncertainties in the dynamic load identification are always significant and need to be quantified. In case of insufficient information available, intervals are favorable for modelling uncertainties. To perform the interval propagation in an inverse problem, this paper develops a sequential dual-stage interval identification method under a presupposition that each noisy response, which is an accomplished measurement for reconstructing unknown loads, should be included in the corresponding interval response of the structure exerted by interval loads to be identified. The proposed method transforms the interval identification problem into a classical one at the midpoint of interval parameters and an optimization model for minimizing the radius of each interval load. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by a spatial truss subjected to multiple forces due to the inclusion of each unknown load in the corresponding load. Besides, regularized solutions without exact knowledge of the accuracy loss are recommended to be used as few as possible in the interval identification of unknown loads.

Design of anisotropic structures: Calculation,optimization, and tests

Conclusions A computational procedure based on a limiting state has been worked out which proposes the performance of tests of samples, small-scale models, and full-scale structures and a statistical analysis of the experimental data. Advantages of the method are shown in comparison with the computational method based on fracturing loads which pertain to estimating the accuracy of the computational scheme of structures and determining their safety coefficients. An optimality criterion is formulated within the framework of the method which is related to ensuring a maximum of the limiting (fracturing or critical) load with a constant mass of the structure.Applications of the method are given to estimation of the strength and stability of structures made out of polymeric and metal CM with the use of the Gol'denblat-Kopnov criterion and solutions based on linear shell theory. The conditions for realization of the optimality criterion of structures are determined. Recommendations are made for the rational reinforcement of structures made out of filamentary CM, and a procedure is proposed for the rational design of reinforced structures.As an example of the tests for stability of cylindrical shells made out of aluminum-magnesium alloy under external pressure, the legitimacy of the cause of the disagreement between the calculated and experimental critical loads, which consists of a discrepancy in the nature of wave formation at the instant of stability loss and initial imperfections, and the effectiveness of the computational method based on a limiting state are confirmed. Refined computational formulas for the critical loads of cylindrical shells made out of fiberglass, carbon fiber, and boraluminum under typical kinds of loading are proposed within the framework of the method and on the basis of an analysis of the results of tests, and a comparison is made of the effectiveness of the reinforcement of shells made out of aluminum-magnesium alloy and carbon fiber. The values of the safety coefficients of structures which guarantee their reliability are determined.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, No. 2, pp. 262–271, March–April, 1980.     

Nonlinear Analysis and Optimum Design of Guyed Masts

In this paper the nonlinear analysis and design optimization of guyed masts is addressed. The mast is modeled as a 3D truss and is supported by catenary cable elements that have nonlinear elastic behavior. For nonlinear static analysis, an innovative procedure is proposed that divides the structure into linear and nonlinear parts and analyzes them separately. The proposed method satisfies the equilibrium and compatibility by establishing and solution of a set of nonlinear equations. The optimization problem employs the sizes of members, initial cable tensions and the positions of anchor on the ground and tie level of cables on the mast as design variables. To facilitate the optimization solution, a compatible sensitivity analysis procedure is proposed. Sensitivities of objective function, displacement and strength constraints in the mast and cables, subjected to a variety of load combinations including dead, wind and ice loads are calculated. Numerical examples are provided to show the nonlinear analysis procedure and the applicability of the algorithm to optimum design of practical guyed masts.     

Analysis of Compression Stress of a Filler and Bending of a Sandwich Panel under Multipoint Loading

The distribution of transverse stresses in the midlayer of a composite sandwich panel under multipoint loading is investigated. The stresses averaged across the thickness of a soft filler are estimated using a discrete model. Finite expressions for the compression of the filler along the length of the panel are derived by means of superposition of the local effects from the bending of face layers under an infinite system of transverse point forces constant across the panel thickness. The effects of compression and transverse extension of the filler, in the case of a high distribution frequency of these forces, i.e., when the distance between the forces is comparable to the panel thickness, are revealed. Compression of the panel by two systems of forces applied symmetrically or nonsymmetrically to the upper and lower faces is considered. The bending characteristics in the cases of loading with point forces and piecewise distributed loads are compared. The formulas obtained are used to determine the length of a small region on the panel surface for which the local effects from the distributed pressure and the point force are equivalent. The corresponding estimates are obtained in a closed form. The analysis, carried out with varied parameters of the structure, allows us to elucidate the peculiarities of the effect of discontinuous loads on the design characteristics in the local zones, using finite expressions derived by the operational method.
