Dynamic analysis and passive control of viscoelastically damped nonlinear dynamic contacts

This paper presents an analytical and finite element study on nonlinear contact dynamics and controls. Nonlinear dynamic contacts between eccentrically supported masses and simply supported beams are studied. Passive control of the dynamic contacts using viscoelastic dampers is also proposed and evaluated. A nonlinear contact finite element is modeled by a set of nonlinear stiffness and damping polynomial functions; and a nonlinear viscoelastic finite element is modeled by a Standard Linear Model with frequency-dependent nonlinear stiffness and damping functions. Analyses show that the dynamic contact force increases as the initial gap increases. Application of viscoelastic dampers can effectively reduce contact loads and prevent dynamic contacts. A simple design equation is also proposed.     

非均匀变厚度梁的动力响应的一般解

在本文中提出一个新方法——阶梯折算法来研究在任意载荷下任意非均匀和任意变厚度伯努利-欧拉梁的动力响应问题.研究了自由振动和强迫振动.新方法需要将区间离散为一定数目的元素,每个元素可看作是均匀和等厚度的.因此均匀、等厚度梁的一般解可在每个元素上应用.然后用初参数表示的整个梁的一般解使之满足相邻二元素间的物理和几何连续条件,这样就可以得到解析形式的自由振动的频率方程和解析形式的强迫振动的最终解,它化为求解二元线性代数方程,与离散元素的数目无关.现在的方法可推广应用至任意非均匀及任意变厚度有粘滞性和其他种类的梁以及其他结构元件问题上去.     

Green's functions for forced vibration analysis of bending-torsion coupled Timoshenko beam

A method based on Green's functions is proposed for the analysis of the steady-state dynamic response of bending-torsion coupled Timoshenko beam subjected to distributed and/or concentrated loadings. Damping effects on the bending and torsional directions are taken into account in the vibration equations. The elastic boundary conditions with bending-torsion coupling and damping effects are derived and the classical boundary conditions can be obtained by setting the values of specific stiffness parameters of the artificial springs. The Laplace transform technology is employed to work out the Green's functions for the beam with arbitrary boundary conditions. The Green's functions are obtained for the beam subject to external lateral force and external torque, respectively. Coupling effects between bending and torsional vibrations of the beam can be studied conveniently through these analytical Green's functions. The direct expressions of the steady-state responses with various loadings are obtained by using the superposition principle. The present Green's functions for the Timoshenko beam can be reduced to those for Euler–Bernoulli beam by setting the values of shear rigidity and rotational inertia. In order to demonstrate the validity of the Green's functions proposed, results obtained for special cases are given for a comparison with those given in the literature and they agree with each other exactly. The influences of external loading frequency and eccentricity on Green's functions of bending-torsion coupled Timoshenko beam are investigated in terms of the numerical results for both simply supported and cantilever beams. Moreover, the symmetric property of the Green's functions and the damping effects on the amplitude of Green's functions of the beam are discussed particularly.

Second order wave loads on large monolithic offshore structures

This paper considers the wave loads on large monolithic offshore structures. The second order wave force formulae developed by Rahman and Heaps, applicable to large circular cylinders in waves, are extended to evaluate the overturning moments on large circular cylinders. The theory is then applied to square section caissons in waves, to predict the wave loads on these structures. These calculations are performed using the exact form of the second order velocity potential, φ₂, with arbitrary wave number, k₂, and the approximate form of φ₂, with twice the value of the wave number of the first order velocity potential. The second order analytical predictions are compared with available experimental data for various ranges of wave parameters for both circular and square caissons in large amplitude waves.

Soil-structure interaction of tunnel-structures under consideration of far- and near-field effects

The response of a tunnel structure under a moving and oscillating dynamic load can be calculated by means of a hybrid Integral–Transformation–Method–FEM approach. In the ITM approach analytical solutions of ideal geometries of the infinite continuum are superposed such that the wave–number impedance and transfer–function at the interior of a circular tunnel can be calculated efficiently. By this means the infinite continuum can be coupled to an arbitrary tunnel structure which is modelled by the FEM with corresponding form–functions. In order to reduce the effort for the coupling, the characteristics of the analytically given transfer–functions which can be split into near– and far–fields is taken into account.

Frequency-dependent vibration analysis of symmetric cross-ply laminated plate of Levy-type by spectral element and finite strip procedures

This research describes spectral finite element formulation for vibration analysis of rectangular symmetric cross-ply laminated composite plates of Levy-type based on classical lamination plate theory (CLPT). Formulation based on SFEM includes partial differential equations of motion, spectral displacement field, dynamic shape functions, and spectral element stiffness matrix (SESM). In this paper, vibration analysis of composite plate is investigated in two sections: free vibrations and forced vibrations. In free vibrations, natural frequencies are calculated for different Young’s moduli ratios and boundary conditions. In forced vibrations, plate vibrations are investigated under high-frequency concentrated impulsive loads. The resulting responses due to spectral element formulation are compared with those of (time-domain) finite element and analytical formulations, whenever available. The results demonstrate the superiority of SFEM with respect to FEM, in reducing computational burden, simultaneously increasing numerical accuracy, specifically for excitations of high-frequency content. By reducing the time duration of impulsive loads, and consequently increasing the modal contribution of higher modes in the transient response of plate, the accuracy of FEM responses decreases substantially accompanied with a high volume of computations, while the accuracy of the SFEM response results is very high and simultaneously, with a low computational burden. Practically, SFEM follows very closely exact analytical solutions.

3D modeling of crack growth in electro-magneto-thermo-elastic coupled viscoplastic multiphase composites

This work presents a time-domain hypersingular integral equation (TD-HIE) method for modeling 3D crack growth in electro-magneto-thermo-elastic coupled viscoplastic multiphase composites (EMTE-CVP-MCs) under extended incremental loads rate through intricate theoretical analysis and numerical simulations. Using Green’s functions, the extended general incremental displacement rate solutions are obtained by time-domain boundary element method. Three-dimensional arbitrary crack growth problem in EMTE-CVP-MCs is reduced to solving a set of TD-HIEs coupled with boundary integral equations, in which the unknown functions are the extended incremental displacement discontinuities gradient. Then, the behavior of the extended incremental displacement discontinuities gradient around the crack front terminating at the interface is analyzed by the time-domain main-part analysis method of TD-HIE. Also, analytical solutions of the extended singular incremental stresses gradient and extended incremental integral near the crack fronts in EMTE-CVP-MCs are provided. In addition, a numerical method of the TD-HIE for a 3D crack subjected to extended incremental loads rate is put forward with the extended incremental displacement discontinuities gradient approximated by the product of time-domain basic density functions and polynomials. Finally, examples are presented to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.

Analytical solution for the fully coupled static response of variable stiffness composite beams

An analytical solution is presented for the 3D static response of variable stiffness non-uniform composite beams. Based on Euler-Bernoulli theory, a set of governing differential equations are obtained, in which four degrees of freedom are fully coupled. For the variable stiffness beam, the governing field equations have variable coefficients reflecting the stiffness variation along the beam. Using the direct integration technique, the general analytical solution is derived in the integral form and the closed-form expressions of the obtained solutions are presented employing a series expansion approximation. The series expansion representation enables the proposed approach to be applicable for variable stiffness composite beams with arbitrary span-wise variation of properties. As an alternative solution, the Chebyshev collocation method is applied to the proposed formulation to verify the results obtained from the analytical solution. A number of variable stiffness composite beams made by fibre steering with various boundary conditions and stacking sequences are considered as the test cases. The static response are presented based on the analytical solution and Chebyshev collocation method and excellent agreement is observed for all test cases. The proposed model presents a reliable and efficient approach for capturing the complicated behaviour of variable stiffness non-uniform composite beams.

Combined classical and generalized integral transform approaches for the analysis of the dynamic behavior of a damaged structure

The classical integral transform technique (CITT) is employed to derive an exact analytical solution for the transverse vibrations of a damaged Euler–Bernoulli beam simply supported at both ends. The exact analytical solution derived with the CITT approach requires knowledge of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a related eigenvalue problem, whose hybrid solution is further obtained with the generalized integral transform technique (GITT). Expressions derived for the natural frequencies, mode shapes and frequency response function are valid for any prescribed damage field. Numerical results obtained for a damaged beam with single and multiple damages demonstrate the accuracy, convergence and robustness of the two approaches when combined.     

The vibrational behaviour of bladed disks with multiple coupling devices

In turbomachinery applications turbine blades are subjected to high static and dynamic loads. Static loads are due to centrifugal stresses and thermal strains. Especially the dynamic excitation caused by fluctuating gas forces results in high vibration amplitudes which can lead to high cycle fatigue failures (HCF). Therefore, in practical applications, coupling devices like underplatform dampers, lacing wires and tip shrouds are installed to the structure. In case of blade vibrations the relative displacements between these coupling devices and the blades generate friction forces. The resulting energy dissipation provides additional damping to the structure. Furthermore, coupling devices, in particular tip shrouds, snubbers and lacing wires, increase the stiffness of the structure. Hence, they lead to a shift of the resonance frequencies. So far, only effects of single coupling devices and the influencing properties have been examined. Within this paper the effect of multiple couplings is determined and compared with single couplings. The forced response of turbine bladings with multiple couplings is calculated under consideration of geometrical and mechanical parameters of the blading and contacts, respectively. The results are compared with the single coupled blading. Furthermore, a multiple coupled device with under-platform damper and connecting pin is compared with respect to his effectiveness. Especially the influence on the resonance frequency and the achievable damping is analysed. The results of the simulation are verified by measurements at a two-blade non-rotating test rig with an underplatform damper and connecting pin. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
