General dynamic equation and dynamical characteristics of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams

In this paper, a governing differential equation of viscoelastic Timoshenko beam including both extension and shear viscosity is developed in the time domain by direct method. To measure the complex moduli and three parameters of standard linear solid, the forced vibration technique of beam is successfully used for PCL and PMMA specimens. The dynamical characteristics of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams, especially the damping properties, are derived from a considerable number of numerical computations. The analyses show that the viscosity of materials has great influence on dynamical characteristics of structures, especially on damping, and the standard linear solid model is the better one for describing the dynamic behavior of high viscous materials.

接触碰撞行为作为大自然与多体系统中的常见现象,其接触力模型对于多体系统的碰撞行为机理研究与性能预测至关重要.静态弹塑性接触模型与考虑能量耗散的连续接触力模型是研究接触碰撞行为的两类不同方法,在多体系统碰撞动力学中存在诸多共性与差异.本文分别从上述两类接触模型的发展历程入手,详细介绍了两类模型的区别与联系.首先,根据阻尼项分母中是否含有初始碰撞速度将连续接触力模型分为黏性接触力模型与迟滞接触力模型,讨论了能量指数与Hertz接触刚度之间的关系,阐述了现有连续接触力模型在计算弹塑性材料接触碰撞行为时存在的问题.其次,着重介绍了分段连续的准静态弹塑性接触力模型(可连续从完全弹性转换到完全塑性接触阶段),分析了利用此类弹塑性接触力模型计算碰撞行为的技术特点.同时,以恢复系数为桥梁和借助线性化的弹塑性接触刚度,避免了Hertz刚度对弹塑性接触刚度的计算误差,根据碰撞前后多体系统的能量与动能守恒推导了弹塑性接触模型等效的迟滞阻尼因子.探索了连续接触力模型与准静态弹塑性接触力模型之间的内在联系,数值计算结果定量说明了人为阻尼项代表的能量耗散与弹塑性接触力模型中加卸载路径代表的能量耗散具有等效性.另外...     

Non-linear Damping and Frequency Identification in a Progressively Damaged R.C. Element

This paper describes the non-linear identification of a progressively damaged reinforced concrete beam-column node. The aims are the detection and identification of the different sources of damping and their dependence from the damage level. To this end a specially formulated non-linear identification method is proposed, based on a time-varying polynomial approximation of the system dynamics, suitable for use in the presence of excitations of any form. A minimum condition imposed to the identified dissipated energy leads to the distinction of the linear viscous component from the other damping mechanisms. The estimated values obtained from the experimental tests show a significant influence of the damage level on the linear viscous damping coefficient. This suggests that, in a non-linear dynamic time-history analysis, the use of Rayleigh damping model with proportionality to the initial stiffness is basically in contrast with experimental evidence and more refined viscous damping models are needed for prediction purposes.

Two-dimensional Green's functions in anisotropic multiferroic bimaterials with a viscous interface

We derive, by virtue of the unified Stroh formalism, the extremely concise and elegant solutions for two-dimensional and (quasi-static) time-dependent Green's functions in anisotropic magnetoelectroelastic multiferroic bimaterials with a viscous interface subjected to an extended line force and an extended line dislocation located in the upper half-plane. It is found for the first time that, in the multiferroic bimaterial Green's functions, there are 25 static image singularities and 50 moving image singularities in the form of the extended line force and extended line dislocation in the upper or lower half-plane. It is further observed that, as time evolves, the moving image singularities, which originate from the locations of the static image singularities, will move further away from the viscous interface with explicit time-dependent locations. Moreover, explicit expression of the time-dependent image force on the extended line dislocation due to its interaction with the viscous interface is derived, which is also valid for mathematically degenerate materials. Several special cases are discussed in detail for the image force expression to illustrate the influence of the viscous interface on the mobility of the extended line dislocation, and various interesting features are observed. These Green's functions can not only be directly applied to the study of dislocation mobility in the novel multiferroic bimaterials, they can also be utilized as kernel functions in a boundary integral formulation to investigate more complicated boundary value problems where multiferroic materials/composites are involved.

A new method to determine viscosity of liquids using vibration principles

A new method for determining viscosity of liquids is examined. The method employs the principles of vibration and measures the viscous damping due to the motion of a liquid placed in a cylindrical tube. The apparatus and the test liquid are treated as a dynamic system and the measured mechanical impedances are used to calculate energy dissipation due to the viscous damping. The newly designed apparatus is able to generate shear deformations in the liquid without using moving solid surfaces. A harmonic varying force with a frequency close to the resonance frequency of the system is applied through a piston and the resulting velocities of the oscillations generated in the system are measured. Liquids with higher viscosities result in lower velocities due to the higher damping. Analytical equations are provided to relate the viscous damping of the dynamic system to the viscosity of the liquids. The viscosities obtained from the proposed method are in good agreement with the ones obtained from standard rotational viscometry using a cone and plate geometry.     

On the effect of nonsmooth Coulomb friction on Hopf bifurcations in a 1-DoF oscillator with self-excitation due to negative damping

This article deals with the question, to what extent damping due to nonsmooth Coulomb friction may affect the stability and bifurcation behavior of vibrational systems with self-excitation due to negative effective damping which??for the smooth case??is related to a Hopf bifurcation of the steady state. Without damping due to Coulomb friction, the stability of the trivial solution is controlled by the effective viscous damping of the system: as the damping becomes negative, the steady state loses stability at a Hopf point. Adding Coulomb friction changes the trivial solution into a set of equilibria, which??for oscillatory systems??is asymptotically stable for all values of effective viscous damping. The Hopf point vanishes and an unstable limit cycle appears which borders the basin of attraction of the equilibrium set. Moreover, the influence of nonlinear damping terms is discussed. The effect of Coulomb frictional damping may be seen as adding an imperfection to the classical smooth Hopf scenario: as the imperfection vanishes, the behavior of the smooth problem is recovered.     

Exact solution of free vibration of adjacent buildings interconnected by visco-elastic dampers

With consideration of a high-rise coupled building system, a flexible beams-based analytical model is setup to characterize the dynamic behavior of the system. The general motion equation for the two beams interconnected by multiple viscous/visco-elastic dampers is rewritten into a non-dimensional form to identify the minimal set of parameters governing the dynamic characteristics. The corresponding exact solution suitable for arbitrary boundary conditions is presented. Furthermore, the methodology for computing the coefficients of the modal shape function is proposed. As an example, the explicit expression of the modal shape function is derived, provided only one damper is adopted to connect the adjacent buildings. Finally, to validate the proposed methodologies, three case studies are performed, in which the existence of the overdamping and the optimal damping coefficient are revealed. In the case of using one damper in connecting two similar buildings, the estimating equations for the first modal damping ratio are formulated.     

An analysis of key characteristics of the Frank-Read source process in FCC metals

A well-known intragranular dislocation source, the Frank-Read (FR) source plays an important role in size-dependent dislocation multiplication in crystalline materials. Despite a number of studies in this topic, a systematic investigation of multiple aspects of the FR source in different materials is lacking. In this paper, we employ large scale quasistatic concurrent atomistic-continuum (CAC) simulations to model an edge dislocation bowing out from an FR source in Cu, Ni, and Al. First, a number of quantities that are important for the FR source process are quantified in the coarse-grained domain. Then, two key characteristics of the FR source, including the critical shear stress and critical dislocation configuration, are investigated. In all crystalline materials, the critical stresses and the aspect ratio of the dislocation half-loop height to the FR source length scale well with respect to the FR source length. In Al, the critical stress calculated by CAC simulations for a given FR source length agrees reasonably well with a continuum model that explicitly includes the dislocation core energy. Nevertheless, the predictions of the isotropic elastic theory do not accurately capture the FR source responses in Cu and Ni, which have a relatively large stacking fault width and elastic anisotropy. Our results highlight the significance of directly simulating the FR source activities using fully 3D models and shed light on developing more accurate continuum models.     

On the two basic problems of complex damping theory

In this paper, two important basic problems relating to the complex damping theory are discussed. The two problems are: (1) the essence of complex damping, and (2) the dynamic solution of structures with complex damping in time domain. To investigate the above problems, the frequency-dependent viscous damping theory is established and the correct and applicable solution of forced vibration for a complex damping oscillator is given beforehand.Supported by the Joint Earthquake Foundation

Nonlocal versus local elastoplastic behaviour of heterogeneous materials

The scale transition methods have been developed for many years in order to obtain the overall behavior of polycrystalline materials from their microscopic behavior and their microstructure. Nevertheless, some basic aspects are absent from such formalisms. The most significant one seems to be the heterogeneization by plastic straining which involves nonlocality of hardening. In this article, a nonlocal theory based upon crystalline plasticity is developed from which a nonlocal constitutive equation at the grain level is derived. With regard to the polycrystal, in order to deduce the behavior of a local equivalent homogeneous medium, an integral equation is proposed and solved for nonlocal inhomogeneous materials by the self-consistent approximation. This scheme is developed in case of a two-phase nonlocal material representing the dislocation cell structure induced during plastic straining. Numerical simulations based on a simplified model show significant effects on the intragranular heterogeneization.     

Damping characteristics of seat cushion materials for tractor ride comfort

The cushioning material in a tractor seat plays a dominant role in supporting operator posture, isolating vibration and improving ride quality. Vibration attenuation in a tractor seat is achieved by selecting proper suspension and damping mechanism. This paper describes damping characterisation of tractor seat cushion materials to improve operator’s comfort. Nine commercially available seat cushion materials of different densities, thickness and compositions were selected for the study. A sinusoidal displacement exciter was designed to measure damping characteristics of the seat cushion materials in the frequency range of 1–8 Hz with displacement amplitudes of 10, 15 and 20 mm peak-to-peak. It was observed that the equivalent viscous damping coefficient (C_eq) of cushion materials decreased with the increase in frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude of vibration and decrease was very sharp in the lower frequency range up to 3 Hz. The average percentage reduction in C_eq increased with increase in peak-to-peak amplitude of vibration from 10 to 20 mm for the selected seat cushion materials. The average percentage reduction in C_eq was the highest for thinner high density polyurethane (PU) foam (thickness of 44 mm, density of 19.09 kg/m³) at different frequencies of vibration. It may be concluded that the high density PU based cushion material is good for dampening vibrations transmitted in tractor under dynamic condition.
