Solve a contact problem by optimization method—to calculate the stresses for the softwheel in a harmonic gear

It is difficult to solve the contact problem by usual finite element program. In this paper, we express the contact problem as an optimization problem. In this form we do not need to know all boundary condition in advance. We only need to know the constraint conditions. This method is especially good for solving contact problem. Using this method, we calculate the stresses of the softwheel in the harmonic gear given by Shanghai Jiaotong University, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental results.     

FUZZY ARITHMETIC AND SOLVING OF THE STATIC GOVERNING EQUATIONS OF FUZZY FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

The key component of finite element analysis of structures with fuzzy parameters, which is associated with handling of some fuzzy information and arithmetic relation of fuzzy variables , was the solving of the governing equations of fuzzy finite element method. Based on a given interval representation of fuzzy numbers, some arithmetic rules of fuzzy numbers and fuzzy variables were developed in terms of the properties of interval arithmetic. According to the rules and by the theory of interval finite element method, procedures for solving the static governing equations of fuzzy finite element method of structures were presented. By the proposed procedure, the possibility distributions of responses of fuzzy structures can be generated in terms of the membership functions of the input fuzzy numbers. It is shown by a numerical example that the computational burden of the presented procedures is low and easy to implement. The effectiveness and usefulness of the presented procedures are also illustrated.     

翼型跨音速流动计算和外形设计的变域变分有限元方法

在气体动力学问题研究中经常会碰到诸如激波、翼型设计等未知界面问题。未知界面的存在为该类问题的理论分析和数值求解带来了很大困难。刘高联针对未知界面问题发展了一种变域变分有限元方法,该方法将未知界面看作是一个变化区域的边界,采用变域变分将未知界面结合在变分泛函中,使其与求解流场的控制方程结合起来,从而将未知界面的求解和流场的求解完全耦合进行,因而是一种处理未知界面的独特工具,极适合于气动外形的设计求解。本文运用变域变分有限元方法对翼型跨音速流动正、反命题进行了数值研究。由于在跨音速翼型绕流中存在激波,所以为了得到压缩激波解,采用了“人工密度”办法。几个算例均得到了满意的计算结果和设计结果,证明了本文方法的有效性和优越性。     

Time-independent anisotropic plastic behavior by mechanical subelement models

The paper describes a procedure for modelling the anisotropic elastic-plastic behavior of metals in plane stress state by the mechanical sub-layer model. In this model the stress-strain curves along the longitudinal and transverse directions are represented by short smooth segments which are considered as piecewise linear for simplicity. The model is incorporated in a finite element analysis program which is based on the assumed stress hybrid element and the viscoplasticity theory.     

A modification of Taylor-Galerkin Finite Element Method and its application

Two basic hypothesises of Taylor-Galerkin Finite Element Method are studied in this paper.One of them which is unreasonable is redefined.The only hypothesis becomes the standpoint of Generalized Finite Element.We use this idea to analysis stream function-vorticity equations with Modified Taylor-Galerkin Finite Element Method,and give the two-step solving method,which makes the solving process more reasonable than ever before.Several computational examples reveal that the results of this new method are satisfied.

力学中的Hamilton体系采用对偶变量描述问题。电磁场采用电场和磁场两类变量描述问题。将力学中的Hamilton体系引入到电磁场问题中,电场变量和磁场变量构成对偶变量,把频域电磁场的基本方程导向对偶方程形式,建立电磁场有限元所需的对偶变量变分原理,由此推导出电磁对偶有限元。将电磁对偶有限元应用于电磁波导计算中,可确定电磁波导的传播常数。文中给出了用电磁对偶有限元方法,计算矩形波导不同模式对应的传播常数的数值计算结果。     

Nonlinear Vibration of Plane Structures by Finite Element and Incremental Harmonic Balance Method

A nonlinear steady state vibration analysis of a wide class of planestructures is analyzed. Both the finite element method and incrementalharmonic balance method are used. The usual beam element is adopted inwhich the nonlinear effect arising from longitudinal stretching has beentaken into account. Based on the geometric nonlinear finite elementanalysis, the nonlinear dynamic equations including quadratic and cubicnonlinearities are derived. These equations are solved by theincremental harmonic balance (IHB) method. To show the effectiveness andversatility of this method, some typical examples for a wide variety ofvibration problems including fundamental resonance, super- andsub-harmonic resonance, and combination resonance of plane structuressuch as beams, shallow arches and frames are computed. Most of theseexamples have not been studied by other researchers before. Comparisonwith previous results are also made.     

Sound Radiated in a Cavity by a Vibrating Plate: Comparison between the Results of a Finite Element Method (FEMAK) and a Boundary Element Method (NoVAlea2D)

The coupling between a cavity and a vibrating plate is written as a strong coupling where both the continuity of stresses and particle velocities at the interface are taken into account. A FEM analysis reveals an important coupling between the first mode of the plate and the cavity. The pressure distribution in the cavity shows a strong quarter of a wave length pattern indicating the influence of the first Dirichlet mode in the cavity. The vibrating plate is then excited by a turbulent flow modelled by its spectral density using the Corcos model. A comparison is made between the results obtained from a FEM and a BEM formulation. Good agreements are observed concerning the plate displacements. The comparison of the cavity sound pressure levels is less good. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
