基于概率配点法的岩土材料参数随机场及其响应分析

概率配点法是进行不确定性问题分析的一种有效方法。通过对输入参数场进行Karhunen-Loeve展开,将其表示为一系列独立随机变量在不同权重下的线性组合,再以与之相同的随机变量组合形成混沌多项式展开对输出随机场进行分解,通过某种算法选取随机变量的值,将其作为插值点的组合(配点),在这些配点上,概率方程演化为一个确定性问题方程。由此,可以直接利用现有软件或者确定性问题计算程序进行求解,生成混沌多项式的系数矩阵后,即可得到该随机问题的各阶统计矩,从而实现参数随机场的不确定性分析。本文将该方法引进岩土工程材料参数随机场,将体积模量视为输入随机场,位移视为输出场,分别进行了弹性及塑性变形计算。结果表明该方法极大地降低了随机问题的求解难度,与MC法(Mento Carlo)相比,减少了运算消耗,提高了计算效率,具有明显的优越性。

Imperfection sensitivity of an orthotropic spherical shell under external pressure

In the first part of this paper, rib-stiffened thin-walled spherical shells under external hydrostatic pressure are optimized using classical approximate methods and empirical knock-down-factors. In the second part of the paper, the influence of known imperfections is investigated.The thin-walled spherical shells under external pressure are very sensitive to geometrical imperfections. Hoff recognized that for entire isotropic spherical shells the more likely imperfection will be a local circular dent, which for such shells, can always be considered as an axisymmetric one. Hoff's idea has been further investigated by Koga–Hoff, Galletly et al. These results showed that for a given depth of an imperfection a critical size of the corresponding circular dent exists, giving the minimum for the actual load carrying capacity of the shell.This paper suggests to extend Hoff's theory to isogrid and waffle-grid stiffened spherical shells. The issue of these investigations is a set of knock-down-factors plotted versus imperfection amplitude related to the total thickness of the rib-stiffened (isogrid or waffle-grid) shell. These curves fit reasonably with those established for isotropic shells by Hoff et al. or by Koiter, and enable to estimate the jeopardy of measured actual dents.     

Buckling analysis of cylindrical shells with random geometric imperfections

In this paper the effect of random geometric imperfections on the limit loads of isotropic, thin-walled, cylindrical shells under deterministic axial compression is presented. Therefore, a concept for the numerical prediction of the large scatter in the limit load observed in experiments using direct Monte Carlo simulation technique in context with the Finite Element method is introduced. Geometric imperfections are modeled as a two dimensional, Gaussian stochastic process with prescribed second moment characteristics based on a data bank of measured imperfections. (The initial imperfection data bank at the Delft University of Technology, Part 1. Technical Report LR-290, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Delft University of Technology). In order to generate realizations of geometric imperfections, the estimated covariance kernel is decomposed into an orthogonal series in terms of eigenfunctions with corresponding uncorrelated Gaussian random variables, known as the Karhunen-Loéve expansion. For the determination of the limit load a geometrically non-linear static analysis is carried out using the general purpose code STAGS (STructural Analysis of General Shells, user manual, LMSC P032594, version 3.0, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Space Co., Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA). As a result of the direct Monte Carlo simulation, second moment characteristics of the limit load are presented. The numerically predicted statistics of the limit load coincide reasonably well with the actual observations, particularly in view of the limited data available, which is reflected in the statistical estimators.     

考虑形位公差的薄壁筒壳折减因子预测方法研究

缺陷敏感性是薄壁筒壳结构设计所面临的主要问题之一,通常利用折减因子来量化筒壳结构的缺陷敏感性程度。然而现有缺陷敏感性分析方法大多以预测筒壳折减因子下限为目的,未考虑不同形位公差水平对筒壳折减因子的影响。针对此问题,本文提出了一种考虑形位公差的薄壁筒壳折减因子预测方法。该方法基于多点最不利扰动载荷法进行最不利缺陷搜索,获得筒壳不同形位公差下的折减因子下限值,从而确定考虑形位公差的薄壁筒壳折减因子参考值,并利用不完全折减刚度法对计算过程进行加速。算例结果表明本文提出的筒壳折减因子预测方法可在保证安全可靠的前提下,有效提高折减因子预测精度,消除筒壳结构设计过程中不必要的安全裕度,对结构减重有积极意义。未来可基于本方法展开我国新一代航天结构薄壁筒壳折减因子设计规范的研究工作,进一步提高我国航天筒壳结构设计的精细化和轻量化水平。     

Optimum design of hierarchical stiffened shells for low imperfection sensitivity

A concept of hierarchical stiffened shell is proposed in this study, aiming at reducing the imperfection sen- sitivity without adding additional weight. Hierarchical stiffened shell is composed of major stiffeners and minor stiff- eners, and the minor stiffeners are generally distributed between adjacent major stiffeners. For various types of geo- metric imperfections, e.g., eigenmode-shape imperfections, hierarchical stiffened shell shows significantly low imper- fection sensitivity compared to traditional stiffened shell. Furthermore, a surrogate-based optimization framework is proposed to search for the hierarchical optimum design. Then, two optimum designs based on two different opti- mization objectives （including the critical buckling load and the weighted sum of collapse loads of geometrically imperfect shells with small- and large-amplitude imperfections） are compared and discussed in detail. The illustrative example demonstrates the inherent superiority of hierarchical stiffened shells in resisting imperfections and the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Moreover, the decrease of imperfection sensitivity can finally be converted into a decrease of structural weight, which is particularly important in the development of large-diameter launch vehicles.     

Non-linear stability analysis of imperfect thin-walled composite beams

The static non-linear behavior of thin-walled composite beams is analyzed considering the effect of initial imperfections. A simple approach is used for determining the influence of imperfection on the buckling, prebuckling and postbuckling behavior of thin-walled composite beams. The fundamental and secondary equilibrium paths of perfect and imperfect systems corresponding to a major imperfection are analyzed for the case where the perfect system has a stable symmetric bifurcation point. A geometrically non-linear theory is formulated in the context of large displacements and rotations, through the adoption of a shear deformable displacement field. An initial displacement, either in vertical or horizontal plane, is considered in presence of initial geometric imperfection. Ritz's method is applied in order to discretize the non-linear differential system and the resultant algebraic equations are solved by means of an incremental Newton-Rapshon method. The numerical results are presented for a simply supported beam subjected to axial or lateral load. It is shown in the examples that a major imperfection reduces the load-carrying capacity of thin-walled beams. The influence of this effect is analyzed for different fiber orientation angle of a symmetric balanced lamination. In addition, the postbuckling response obtained with the present beam model is compared with the results obtained with a shell finite element model (Abaqus).
