GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT MODEL OF SPATIAL THIN-WALLED BEAMS WITH GENERAL OPEN CROSS SECTION

Based on the theory of Timoshenko and thin-walled beams, a new finite element model of spatial thin-walled beams with general open cross sections is presented in the paper, in which several factors are included such as lateral shear deformation, warp generated by nonuni- form torsion and second-order shear stress, coupling of flexure and torsion, and large displacement with small strain. With an additional internal node in the element, the element stiffness matrix is deduced by incremental virtual work in updated Lagrangian （UL） formulation. Numerical examples demonstrate that the presented model well describes the geometrically nonlinear property of spatial thin-walled beams.     

The elastic theory of thin-walled open cross sections with local deformations

A set of governing equations for nonlinear theory of spatially curved elastic beams of thin-walled open cross section composed of straight rectangular elements is presented explicitly in the Lagrangian form. It is shown that local deformations, i.e. in-plane distortion of the cross section may easily be taken into account by the use of the analytical model proposed by Epstein and Murray. The essential feature which distinguishes the present work from Epstein and Murray's is the use of an auxiliary element when the axial curve of beams is not located on the cross section. This enables us to select arbitrarily the axial curve of rods. For the engineering theory of rods, the simplified governing equations for the nonlinear and linear theories with and without local deformations are derived from the rigorous nonlinear theory by employing the thinness assumption. It is also shown that the reduced linear theory without local deformations agrees with the Vlasov theory.     

Static behavior and bifurcation of a monosymmetric open cross-section thin-walled beam: Numerical and experimental analysis

The aim of the paper is the numerical and experimental validation of a previously developed nonlinear one-dimensional model of inextensional, shear undeformable, thin-walled beam with an open cross-section. Nonlinear in-plane and out-of-plane warping and torsional elongation effects are included in the model. To better understand the role of these new contributions a beam with a section with one symmetry axis, undergoing moderately large flexural curvatures and large torsional curvature is taken into account. To obtain a section of a cantilever beam for which the torsional curvature is expected to prevail with respect to the flexural ones, a preliminary study is performed. The attention is focused on the response to static forces and on the stability of the equilibrium branches. Analytical results are compared with results of two different nonlinear finite element models and mainly with experimental results to confirm the validity of the analytical model. Interesting results are obtained for the critical values of the flexural–torsional instability loads.

Postbuckling Behavior of Thin-Walled Open Cross-Section Compression Members

ABSTRACT

The postbuckling behavior of simply supported columns with thin-walled open cross section is investigated by means of the general nonlinear theory of elastic stability. Fourth-order terms in the series expansion of the total potential energy are disregarded.

It is shown that interaction between linearly independent simultaneous buckling modes is responsible for neutral equilibrium at bifurcation if the column cross section has two axes of symmetry, and unstable if it has only one. If the buckling modes are not simultaneous, the equilibrium is neutral in both cases. Finally, the equilibrium at bifurcation is usually unstable if the cross section has no axis of symmetry.     

Asymptotic theory for static behavior of elastic anisotropic I-beams

End effects for prismatic anisotropic beams with thin-walled, open cross-sections are analyzed by the variational-asymptotic method. The decay rates for disturbances at the ends of prismatic beams are evaluated, and the most influential end disturbances are incorporated into a refined beam theory. Thus, the foundations of Vlasovs theory, as well as restrictions on its applicability, are obtained from the variational-asymptotic point of view. Vlasovs theory is proved to be asymptotically correct for isotropic I-beams. The asymptotically correct generalization of Vlasovs theory for static behavior of anisotropic beams is presented. In light of this development, various published generalizations of Vlasovs theory for thin-walled anisotropic beams are discussed. Comparisons with a numerical 3-D analysis are provided, showing that the present approach gives the closest agreement of all published theories. The procedure can be applied to any thin-walled beam with open cross-sections.     

Nonlinear vibrations of blade with varying rotating speed

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic responses of the rotating blade with varying rotating speed under high-temperature supersonic gas flow. The varying rotating speed and centrifugal force are considered during the establishment of the analytical model of the rotating blade. The aerodynamic load is determined using first-order piston theory. The rotating blade is treated as a pretwist, presetting, thin-walled rotating cantilever beam. Using the isotropic constitutive law and Hamilton??s principle, the nonlinear partial differential governing equation of motion is derived for the pretwist, presetting, thin-walled rotating beam. Based on the obtained governing equation of motion, Galerkin??s approach is applied to obtain a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. From the resulting ordinary equation, the method of multiple scales is exploited to derive the four-dimensional averaged equation for the case of 1:1 internal resonance and primary resonance. Numerical simulations are performed to study the nonlinear dynamic response of the rotating blade. In summary, numerical studies suggest that periodic motions and chaotic motions exist in the nonlinear vibrations of the rotating blade with varying speed.     

Electromechanical Vibrations and Dissipative Heating of Viscoelastic Thin-Walled Piezoelements

The results of studying the electromechanical response of thin-walled viscoelastic piezoactive elements under harmonic loading are generalized. The nonlinear electrothermoviscoelastic problem for a harmonically deformed body is formulated in a simplified form with regard for the facts that the mechanical, thermal, and electric fields are coupled, the material is physically nonlinear, and its properties depend on temperature. Classical and refined electromechanical models of single-layer and multilayer shells and plates under general and harmonic loading are reviewed. The models consider that the electromechanical characteristics of the material depend on temperature and physical and geometrical nonlinearities. Methods for solving nonlinear coupled electrothermoviscoelastic problems are discussed. Analytical and numerical solutions are given to specific quasistatic and dynamic electrothermoviscoelastic problems for thin-walled elements such as rods, plates, and shells of various shapes under harmonic electric loading. The effect of dissipation, the temperature dependence of the material properties, and physical and geometrical nonlinearities on the harmonic and parametric vibrations and stability of piezoelectric elements is studied     

Geometrical nonlinear analysis of thin-walled composite beams using finite element method based on first order shear deformation theory

Based on a seven-degree-of-freedom shear deformable beam model, a geometrical nonlinear analysis of thin-walled composite beams with arbitrary lay-ups under various types of loads is presented. This model accounts for all the structural coupling coming from both material anisotropy and geometric nonlinearity. The general nonlinear governing equations are derived and solved by means of an incremental Newton–Raphson method. A displacement-based one-dimensional finite element model that accounts for the geometric nonlinearity in the von Kármán sense is developed to solve the problem. Numerical results are obtained for thin-walled composite beam under vertical load to investigate the effects of fiber orientation, geometric nonlinearity, and shear deformation on the axial–flexural–torsional response.
