单层平面索网支承式玻璃幕墙结构是近年来在国内外应用较为广泛的一种新型幕墙结构形式,由于单层平面索网不具有负高斯曲面形式,结构在平面外方向的刚度偏柔,表现出较明显的几何非线性特征.本文采用连续化方法建立了单层平面索网结构考虑几何非线性影响的静力平衡方程和振动方程,得到了结构刚度的解析表达式,并采用谐波平衡法求得非线性频率的简化解析表达式,以此为基础研究了单层平面索网结构的静力非线性和动力非线性问题.研究结果表明:结构的非线性和结构的初始位置密切相关;结构的非线性频率主要取决于索的初始应变、结构振动幅值与跨度的比值,几何非线性对于结构动力性能的影响要小于对结构静力性能的影响;本文得到的结构在地震荷载和平均风荷载作用下的非线性振动方程和非线性频率为结构在地震荷载和脉动风荷载作用下动力响应的求解奠定了基础.

A procedure for the static analysis of cable structures following elastic catenary theory

The paper proposes an unitary strategy for the static analysis of general cable nets under conservative loads. A form-finding is first performed in order to initialize the successive non linear analysis. The numerical procedures carried on in both steps, form finding and structural analysis of the net, employ a three dimensional elastic catenary element. Equilibrium conditions at internal nodes and kinematic compatibility at the end nodes of each cable are used to derive the global equations of the net. When the pre-stresses are high and the topology of the net is involved, an accurate initializing solution is essential for the convergence of the successive numeric non linear structural analysis (performed by Newton method). The numerical applications highlight the capability of the proposed procedure to solve three dimensional problems with taut and slack cables, out of plane distributed forces (modeling wind loads), point loads along the cables. The contemporary presence of cables and compression truss elements is also considered testing the effectiveness of the method in the analysis of tensegrity structures.     

Super element approach to cable passing through multiple pulleys

A parametric super element model for cable passing through multiple pulleys is presented in this study for the static analysis of structures. The amounts of cable passages over pulleys are introduced as additional degrees-of-freedoms in the finite element model and the relationship between cable tensions at the two sides of each pulley is imposed based on the friction law or empirical data. The proposed finite element model is firstly verified by a simple pulley cable system and then applied to the analysis of real complex engineering structures. The verification results satisfy the static equilibrium and deformation compatibility conditions of the structural system and basic engineering principles. With the application of the proposed super element model, the global deformation and stress distribution for structures with multiple-pulley cable systems can be effectively and accurately computed. Numerical results for structural analysis show that the effect of friction of pulleys on the cable tensions is significant and the friction-free and fixed models both give unrealistic and incorrect results in cable tensions in some cases.     

Nonlinear dynamic phenomena in a SDOF model of cable net

The dynamic behavior of the simplest possible cable net is studied in this paper, consisting of two crossing cables in perpendicular vertical planes, having the same span and opposite sags. A concentrated mass is attached at the central node, and only the vertical translational degree of freedom is assumed as active. First, the static behavior is explored up to the load level that causes tensile cable failure. Then, the dynamic response is investigated for different resonant conditions and is found to give significantly larger amplitudes with respect to the static ones, even for loading frequencies away from the eigenfrequency of the system. In order to derive analytical solutions, the equation of motion is simplified and the cable net is proved to be a Duffing oscillator. For the simplified problem, the occurrence of nonlinear phenomena is verified analytically, such as bending of the response curve, jump phenomena, instability regions, dependence on the initial conditions, and superharmonic and subharmonic resonances. These phenomena are also detected by means of numerical analyses. A comparison between the exact model and the simplified one shows that the analytical solution of the Duffing equation describes the dynamic behavior of the cable net with satisfactory accuracy.     

Static and dynamic response of elastic suspended cables with damage

In cable-stayed structures cables are subjected to potential damage, mainly due to fatigue and galvanic corrosion. The paper presents an analysis of damage effects on the statics and dynamics of suspended cables. An elastic continuous monodimensional model for damaged cables, including geometric nonlinearities, is formulated for the purpose. The damage is described as a diffused reduction of the cable axial stiffness, and defined through its intensity, extent and position. Exact solutions of the equations governing the cable static equilibrium under self-weight are achieved, and the significance of the tension loss and sag augmentation resulting from damage are investigated under variation of practically significant parameters. The system spectral properties characterizing the free undamped dynamics are obtained in a closed-form fashion for shallow cables within the low frequency range. The sensitivity of the frequencies to the intensity and extent of damage is discussed, outlining two damage effects, which alternatively stiffen or soften the cable modes, whose respective static and geometric origin is recognized. Finally, the symmetry-breaking induced by damage on the static profile is verified to destroy the crossing phenomenon (crossover) characterizing the frequency loci of undamaged cables, which degenerates into a narrow frequency veering phenomenon.     

Analysis for the optimal location of cable damping systems on stayed bridges

Computational models are increasingly being used for the dynamic analysis of structures with nonlinear or uncertain behavior, such as cables in stayed bridges, which nowadays are progressively more used as an alternative for long span and slim structures. In this work, a 3D nonlinear model is described to evaluate the wind dynamic effects on cables for this type of bridges under different scenarios, but also for health monitoring and structural simulation to guarantee performance, evaluate load capacity and estimate life prediction. Fatigue is one of the most relevant and complex failure causes in highway bridges, particularly on the anchorage elements of the cables in stayed bridges; where dampers may be used to minimize the dynamic behavior of the structure and reduce fatigue damage. With this nonlinear simulation model, different damper locations and configurations are evaluated to find the optimal position. A feasibility function is used as a weighting function to take into account the damper’s size and design. Analysis is particularly focused for a real cable stayed bridge in the state of Veracruz in México. Although the geometry, the forces and the stresses on cable structures are a challenge, even for structural specialists, the results from this work using the proposed 3D nonlinear model showed to be accurate for the simulation of many different wind scenarios, and damper’s location and orientations. Finally, the feasibility weighting function enabled the geometrical limitations to estimate the best location of a damper system to minimize the risk for fatigue failure.

Nonlinear FE-based investigation of flexural damping of slacking wire cables

The flexural damping of wire cable due to the flexural hysteresis influences the dynamic behavior of slacking wire cables significantly. However, the details of the local model, accounting for the flexural hysteresis between the wire strands, are quite challenging to include in large-scale engineering applications. This paper addresses these difficulties by modeling the flexural damping of slacking wire cables using homogenized Rayleigh damping. By using the nonlinear finite element method and high-speed imaging technique, three aspects of the work were examined. First, the mechanical properties of the slacking cable were identified experimentally. Second, a sample cable was fixed at one end and allowed to vibrate freely at the other end. The shapes of the vibrating cable were captured by a high-speed digital camera and processed by photogrammetry. The cable demonstrated a high flexural damping at zero tension and its damping was measured to be as high as 37.7% of the critical damping. Third, the cable was modeled and analyzed using our newly developed nonlinear curved beam element with the Rayleigh damping. The finite element predictions of the cable motion agree well with the experimental measurement. These predictions demonstrate that the new element is capable of describing the dynamic response of the cable and that the Rayleigh damping is sufficient to model the flexural damping of slacking wire cables.
