Differential quadrature method for bending of orthotropic plates with finite deformation and transverse shear effects

Based on the Reddy ‘s theory of plates with the effect of higher-order shear deformations, the governing equations for bending of orthotropic plates with finite deformations were established. The differential quadrature ( DQ ) method of nonlinear analysis to the problem was presented. New DQ approach, presented by Wang and Bert ( DQWB), is extended to handle the multiple boundary conditions of plates. The techniques were also further extended to simplify nonlinear computations. The numerical convergence and comparison of solutions were studied. The results show that the DQ method presented is very reliable and valid. Moreover, the influences of geometric and material parameters as well as the transverse shear deformations on nonlinear bending were investigated. Numerical results show the influence of the shear deformation on the static bending of orthotropic moderately thick plate is significant.     

Coupling of assumed stress finite element and boundary element methods with stress-traction equilibrium

In this study, the stress based finite element method is coupled with the boundary element method in two different ways. In the first one, the ordinary distribution matrix is used for coupling. In the second one, the stress traction equilibrium is used at the interface line of both regions as a new coupling process. This new coupling procedure is presented without a distribution matrix. Several case studies are solved for the validation of the developed coupling procedure. The results of case studies are compared with the distribution matrix coupling, displacement based finite element method, assumed stress finite element method, boundary element method, ANSYS and analytical results whenever possible. It is shown that the coupling of the stress traction equilibrium with assumed stress finite elements gives as accurate results as those by the distribution matrix coupling.

数值流形方法及其在岩石力学中的应用

数值流形方法是目前岩石力学分析的主要方法之一.该方法起源于不连续变形分析,主要用于统一求解连续和非连续问题,其核心技术是在分析时采用了双重网格:数学网格提供的节点形成求解域的有限覆盖和权函数;而物理网格为求解的积分域.数学网格被用来建立数学覆盖,数学覆盖与物理网格的交集定义为物理覆盖,由物理覆盖的交集形成流形单元.流形方法的优点在于它使用了独立的数学和物理网格,具有和有限元明显不同的定义形式,且数学网格对于同一问题不同的求解精度的需求可以很方便地细化.由于该方法考虑了块体运动学,可以模拟节理岩体裂隙的开裂和闭合过程,因而在岩石力学中得到了广泛应用,近年来许多学者对该方法进行了研究.本文简要叙述了节理岩体的数值方法从连续到非连续的发展过程,详细地介绍了数值流形方法的组成和数值流形方法在岩石力学及其相关领域的研究和发展概况,最后就作者所关心的一些问题,如三维问题的数值流形方法、数值流形方法在物理非线性问题和裂纹扩展问题中的应用、相关的耦合方法等进行了探讨.

DIGITAL SPECKLE CORRELATION METHOD IMPROVED BY GENETIC ALGORITHM

The digital speckle correlation method is an important optical metrology for surface displacement and strain measurement. With this technique, the whole field deformation information can be obtained by tracking the geometric points on the speckle images based on a correlation-matching search technique. However, general search techniques suffer from great computational complexity in the processing of speckle images with large deformation and the large random errors in the processing of images of bad quality. In this paper, an advanced approach based on genetic algorithms (GA) for correlation-matching search is developed. Benefiting from the abilities of global optimum and parallelism searching of GA, this new approach can complete the correlation-matching search with less computational consumption and at high accuracy. Two experimental results from the simulated speckle images have proved the efficiency of the new approach.

Modeling rock failure using the numerical manifold method followed by the discontinuous deformation analysis

A complete rock failure process usually involvesopening/sliding of preexisting discontinuities as well as fracturing in intact rock bridges to form persistent failure surfaces and subsequent motions of the generated rock blocksThe recently developed numerical manifold method(NMM)has potential for modelling such a complete failure processHowever,the NMM suffers one limitation,i.e.,unexpectedmaterial domain area change occurs in rotation modellingThis problem can not be easily solved because the rigidbody rotation is not represented explicitly in the NMM.Thediscontinuous deformation analysis(DDA) is specially developed for modelling discrete block systems.The rotationinduced material area change in the DDA modelling canbe avoided conveniently because the rigid body rotation isrepresented in an explicit form.In this paper,a transitiontechnique is proposed and implemented to convert a NMMmodelling to a DDA modelling so as to simulate a completerock failure process entirely by means of the two methods,in which the NMM is adopted to model the early fracturingas well as the transition from continua to discontinua,whilethe DDA is adopted to model the subsequent motion of thegenerated rock blocks.Such a numerical approach also improves the simulation efficiency greatly as compared with acomplete NMM modelling approach.The fracturing of arock slab with pre-existing non-persistent joints located ona slope crest and the induced rockfall process are simulated.The validity of the modelling transition from the NMM tothe DDA is verified and the applicability of the proposed numerical approach is investigated.     

Shear deformation in thermal bending analysis of laminated plates by the GDQ method

The interlaminar stresses and deflections in a laminated rectangular plate under thermal bending were determined by using the generalized differential quadrature method involving the effect of shear deformation. The approximate stress and deflection solutions are obtained under the bending of sinusoidal temperature of thermal load for layer in cross-ply laminates and angle-ply laminates. Numerical results show that the shear deformation has significant effects on the dominant interlaminar stresses and deflections in the laminated plate of thermal bending analysis.
