The determination of mode shapes for dynamically loaded rigid-plastic structures

Summary Mode solutions in rigid-plastic structures subjected to fixed external loads are dynamic solutions which are products of separate functions of space and time. If the small displacement assumptions are adopted, there will exist at least one mode shape for any structure subjected to given fixed external load, and possibly a multiplicity of modes. The time function is a simple linear function, and is easily determined once the mode shape is known. The paper puts forward, a simple in physical terms, algorithm for the determination of mode shapes. An iterative procedure is established in which each iteration is equivalent to the solution of a static limit analysis problem. Convergence is proved.

Sommario Soluzioni modali per strutture rigido-plastiche soggette a carichi esterni fissi sono soluzioni dinamiche rappresentabili come prodotti di funzioni separate delle variabili spaziali e del tempo. Nell'ipotesi di piccoli spostamenti, esiste almeno una configurazione modale o «modo» per una struttura soggetta a dati carichi esterni fissi e può esserci una moltiplicità di modi. La funzione del tempo è una funzione lineare che può essere facilmente determinata qualora sia noto il modo. Questo lavoro propone un metodo, semplice dal punto di vista meccanico, per il calcolo di configurazioni modali. Si sviluppa un procedimento iterativo in cui ciascuna iterazione equivale alla soluzione di un problema statico di analisi limite, e se ne dimostra la convergenza.

     

Wave scattering method for dynamic response analysis of structures with stochastic parameters

The wave scattering method is presented to analyze dynamic response of frameworks with stochastic parameters. First, with the uncertain physical, geometric, and loading properties in consideration, the stochastic waveguide equations containing the axial, torsional and flexural wave modes are established. Second, the stochastic wave scattering equation and wave translation matrix are derived to obtain the wave modes. Third, the methodology to extract the generalized displacements and forces from stochastic wave modes is proposed. Finally, a cantilever beam, a planar framework, and a space framework have been presented as numerical examples to illustrate the e?ciency of the proposed method. It is found that the results obtained by the proposed method with higher computational e?ciency show an excellent agreement with those by Monte Carlo simulation method. Furthermore, the influences of stochastic parameters on dynamic response are revealed.

An MPEC approach for the critical post-collapse behavior of rigid-plastic structures

This paper presents a numerical method to identify and trace the critical post-collapse response of rigid perfectly-plastic structures. To account for the possibility of multiple equilibrium paths, the critical one is directly identified using the minimum 2nd-order work criterion. Our proposed enhanced sequential limit analysis is formulated as an instance of the challenging class of optimization problems known as a mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). This MPEC formulation minimizes the 2nd-order work expression subject to the set of constraints describing the complete complementarity system (in mixed static-kinematic variables) governing simultaneously the two adjacent equilibrium configurations, namely the current one and its neighboring state. We use a nonlinear programming based algorithm, involving relaxation of the complementarity terms, to solve the MPEC. Four numerical examples are provided to illustrate application of the proposed scheme.     

Lower bound on deformation for dynamically loaded rigid-plastic structures

A lower bound on maximum deformation is determined for rigid-plastic structures subjected to time dependent loads. This bound on deformation amalgamates and slightly extends two previous bounds. It is easily calculated based on an assumed velocity field that is kinematically admissible. Comparisons are made between this bound, the complementary upper bound by Robinson[5], and the analytical solution for maximum deformation of five different structural elements. Thus, characteristics of the structure and applied tractions that affect accuracy of the bound are examined. In two cases, the stress field transition from bending at small deformations to membrane stresses at large deformation is demonstrated.     

An unconditionally stable calculation scheme for the dynamic response of structures by the method of spline collocation

In this paper, by the method of collocation, using the cubic β-spline function as the trial function in the time domain and putting zero residuals of the differential equation of motion of the structure at two points of time, the authors obtain an unconditionally stable calculation scheme for the dynamic response of the structure. When a parameter σ in the scheme is within the interval 0.15<σ <0.5 the scheme is absolutely stable. It is shown that the accuracy of the scheme, as may be measured by AD (the decay of the amplitudes), PE (the elongation of periods) and the algorithmic damping ratio, is better than that of traditional methods—the Wilson-σ's method, the Newmark's method and the Houbolt's method. A numerical example is given in which a certain dynamic response problem is solved by the method of this paper and results are compared with that of the traditional methods and the analytic method showing that the accuracy of the method by this paper is superior to the other ones. The computational scheme for the dynamic response of structures by this paper may be regarded as an effective, convenient and accurate method for dynamic response of structures.

Meshfree modeling of dynamic response of mechanical structures

Transient nature of the loading conditions applied to the structural components makes dynamic analysis one of the important components in the design-analysis cycle. Time-varying forces and accelerations can substantially change stress distributions and cause a premature failure of the mechanical structures. In addition, it is also important to determine dynamic response of the structural elements to the frequency of the applied loads. In this paper we describe the first application of the meshfree Solution Structure Method (SSM) to the structural dynamics problems. SSM is a meshfree method which enables construction of the solutions to the engineering problems that satisfy exactly all prescribed boundary conditions. This method is capable of using spatial meshes that do not conform to the shape of a geometric model. Instead of using the grid nodes to enforce boundary conditions, it employs distance fields to the geometric boundaries and combines them with the basis functions and prescribed boundary conditions at run time. This defines unprecedented geometric flexibility of the SSM as well as the complete automation of the solution procedure. In the proposed approach we will use SSM to enforce initial and boundary conditions, while transient behavior is enforced by time marching schemes used to solve systems of ordinary differential equations. In the paper we will explain the key points of the SSM as well as investigate the accuracy and convergence of the proposed approach by comparing our results with the ones obtained using traditional finite element analysis. Despite in this paper we are dealing with 2D in-plane vibrations, the proposed approach has a straightforward application to model vibrations of 3D structures.
