Static response analysis of structures with interval parameters using the second-order Taylor series expansion and the DCA for QB

In this paper, based on the second-order Taylor series expansion and the difference of convex functions algorithm for quadratic problems with box constraints(the DCA for QB), a new method is proposed to solve the static response problem of structures with fairly large uncertainties in interval parameters. Although current methods are effective for solving the static response problem of structures with interval parameters with small uncertainties, these methods may fail to estimate the region of the static response of uncertain structures if the uncertainties in the parameters are fairly large. To resolve this problem, first, the general expression of the static response of structures in terms of structural parameters is derived based on the second-order Taylor series expansion. Then the problem of determining the bounds of the static response of uncertain structures is transformed into a series of quadratic problems with box constraints. These quadratic problems with box constraints can be solved using the DCA approach effectively. The numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the proposed method when comparing with other existing methods.     

Pollution dispersion analysis using the puff model with numerical flow field data

The computations of the flowfield and pollutant dispersion over a flat plate and the Russian hills of various slopes are described. The Gaussian plume and the puff model have been used to calculate concentration of pollutant. The Reynolds-averaged unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equation with low Reynolds k– model has been used to calculate the flowfield. The flow data of a flat plate and the Russian hills from Navier–Stokes equation solutions has been used as the input data for the puff model. The computational results of flowfield agree well with experimental results of both a flat plate and Russian hills. The concentration prediction by the Gaussian plume model and the Gaussian puff model also agrees fairly well with experiments.     

Computational and numerical analysis of a nonlinear mechanical system with bounded delay

Modern structures are increasingly resistant and complex. In many cases, such systems are modeled by numerical approximations methods, due to its complexities. In the study of vibration levels in the response of a system is important to consider issues like reliability and efficient design, since that such vibrations are undesirable phenomena that may cause damage, failure, and sometimes destruction of machines and structures. In this paper we investigated a modeling strategy of nonlinear system with damping, subject the time delayed. From models widely used in literature and with the help of numerical simulations a nonlinear damped system with two degree-of-freedom is analyzed. The system is constituted of a primary mass attached to the ground by a spring and damping with linear or nonlinear characteristics (primary system), and the secondary mass attached to the primary system by a spring and damping with linear or nonlinear characteristics (secondary system). It is well known that time delayed systems, due to its own nature, has singular behavior in its dynamics and that such singularities propagate over the time. Based on this, the main concerns of the present paper is to analyze the stability of a delayed system with two degree of freedom by means of the techniques development in [1] (Hu andWang, 2002). We also obtain the solution using the integration of equations of motions performing a Fourth Order Runge-Kutta Method. The behavior of a nonlinear main system with nonlinear secondary system will be investigated to many cases of resonances. In this case, various time delayed values are used to confirm its influence on the attenuation of vibrations, but, unfortunately, also the increase of nonlinearity (instable responses) of the system in question is observed.

Thermo-mechanical response of Al 6061 with and without equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)

The thermo-mechanical responses of Al 6061 before and after equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at different strain rates and temperatures were measured. Al 6061 was solution heat treated before ECAP pressing at room temperature and subjected to up to three passes. After pressing, the billets were aged at 100 °C for 2 days. An as-received Al 6061-T651 was studied similarly to investigate the differences between processed and non-processed specimens. The responses of ECAP material were determined at −30, 22, 125 and 250 °C, and at strain rates from 10⁻⁵ to 2530 s⁻¹; the 6061-T651 specimens were subjected to uniaxial compressive loading at −31, 22, 85, 150, 230 and 315 °C, and strain rates ranging from 10⁻⁵ to 2200 s⁻¹. It was found that, the ECAP process increases the strength versus the T651 condition. Additionally, the Al 6061 ECAP is not sensitive to strain rate at room and lower temperatures, but the sensitivity increases as the number of passes and/or temperature are increased and this is the same for the non-processed material. Increasing the number of passes increases the flow stress at room and lower temperatures, has almost no effect at 125 °C and decreases at 250 °C. For both materials, the dynamic flow stress is higher than the stress at quasi-static strain rates even when the quasi-static strain rate regime is insensitive to strain rate. The Al 6061 has strong texture after one pass but steadily increases as the number of passes are increased. This is the first study that reports on the thermo-mechanical responses of ECAP and non-ECAP Al 6061 at such a wide range of strain rates, including dynamic, and temperatures.

Dynamic response of a single-mesh gear system with periodic mesh stiffness and backlash nonlinearity under uncertainty

Parametric uncertainties play a critical role in the response predictions of a gear system. However, accurately determining the effects of the uncertainty propagation in nonlinear time-varying models of gear systems is awkward and difficult. This paper improves the interval harmonic balance method (IHBM) to solve the dynamic problems of gear systems with backlash nonlinearity and time-varying mesh stiffness under uncertainties. To deal with the nonlinear problem including the fold points and uncertainties, the IHBM is improved by introducing the pseudo-arc length method in combination with the Chebyshev inclusion function. The proposed approach is demonstrated using a single-mesh gear system model, including the parametrically varying mesh stiffness and the gear backlash nonlinearity, excited by the transmission error. The results of the improved IHBM are compared with those obtained from the scanning method. Effects of parameter uncertainties on its dynamic behavior are also discussed in detail. From various numerical examples, it is shown that the results are consistent meanwhile the computational cost is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the proposed approach could be effectively applied for sensitivity analysis of the system response to parameter variations.

Global qualitative analysis of new Monod type chemostat model with delayed growth response and pulsed input in polluted environment

In this paper, we consider a new Monod type chemostat model with time delay and impulsive input concentration of the nutrient in a polluted environment. Using the discrete dynamical system determined by the stroboscopic map, we obtain a ＂microorganism-extinction＂ periodic solution. Further, we establish the sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of the microorganism-extinction periodic solution. Using new computational techniques for impulsive and delayed differential equation, we prove that the system is permanent under appropriate conditions. Our results show that time delay is ＂profitless＂.

Real-time Bayesian data assimilation with data selection,correction of model bias,and on-the-fly uncertainty propagation

The work introduces new advanced numerical tools for data assimilation in structural mechanics. Considering the general Bayesian inference context, the proposed approach performs real-time and robust sequential updating of selected parameters of a numerical model from noisy measurements, so that accurate predictions on outputs of interest can be made from the numerical simulator. The approach leans on the joint use of Transport Map sampling and PGD model reduction into the Bayesian framework. In addition, a procedure for the dynamical and data-based correction of model bias during the sequential Bayesian inference is set up, and a procedure based on sensitivity analysis is proposed for the selection of the most relevant data among a large set of data, as encountered for instance with full-field measurements coming from digital image/volume correlation (DIC/DVC) technologies. The performance of the overall numerical strategy is illustrated on a specific example addressing structural integrity on damageable concrete structures, and dealing with the prediction of crack propagation from a damage model and DIC experimental data.

Nonlinear response and bifurcation analysis of a Duffing type rotor model under sine maneuver load

This paper focuses on the nonlinear dynamic and bifurcation characteristics of an aircraft rotor system affected by the maneuvering flight of the aircraft. The equations of motion of the system are formulated with the consideration of the nonlinear supports of Duffing type and the sine maneuver load of a proposed maneuvering flight model. By utilizing the multiple scales method to solve the motion equations analytically, the bifurcation equations are obtained. Accordingly, the response and the bifurcation characteristics of the system are analyzed respectively. Basically, the increase of the maneuver load may increase the formant frequency as well as the primary resonance frequencies. Through numerical simulations, four different types of response characteristics of the system during the maneuvering flight are found, which are compared with the theoretical results, and it shows good qualitative agreements between them. Furthermore, the maneuver load can make an apparent effect on the bifurcation. The results in this paper will provide a better understanding for the effect of aircraft maneuvering flight on the dynamics and bifurcations of the rotor system.
