This paper proposes a theoretical analysis for the dynamic response of a rigid perfectly plastic simply supported beam with an imperfection in the midspan cross-section under uniform step, pulse, and impulsive loading when support is assumed to be free to move inward. The complete solutions for an entire dynamic response process are given and the relationship between the distribution of energy dissipated at plastic hinges and the parameter of imperfection is also discussed.

基于均匀荷载面曲率的简支裂纹梁损伤识别

为了采用模态参数对结构裂纹进行定位与定量,基于集中柔度模型,采用无质量的扭转弹簧模拟裂纹,建立简支裂纹梁的振动微分方程。针对现有柔度曲率指标仅能判断裂纹的大致范围,基于线性插值理论,建立裂纹位置与相邻测点均匀荷载面曲率差的关系,提出裂纹进一步定位公式,实现裂纹位置的精确定位。针对现有大多数损伤识别方法无法实现裂纹的损伤定量,基于位移曲率与结构刚度和弯矩的关系,理论推导了均匀荷载面曲率的结构刚度损伤程度识别方法,基于弹簧串联原理和线刚度思想,首次提出串联等效线刚度模型,建立裂纹深度与均匀荷载面曲率的关系,实现裂纹深度的定量。通过简支裂纹梁数值算例,考虑多裂纹的损伤情况,验证了新方法对裂纹定位与定量的有效性。     

Postbuckling of elastic beam subjected to a concentrated moment within the span length of beam

This paper aims to present the exact closed form solutions and postbuckling behavior of the beam under a concentrated moment within the span length of beam. Two approaches are used in this paper. The nonlinear governing differential equations based on elastica theory are derived and solved analytically for the exact closed form solutions in terms of elliptic integral of the first and second kinds. The results are presented in graphical diagram of equilibrium paths, equilibrium configurations and critical loads. For validation of the results from the first approach, the shooting method is employed to solve a set of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions. The set of nonlinear governing differential equations are integrated by using Runge–Kutta method fifth order with adaptive step size scheme. The error norms of the end conditions are minimized within prescribed tolerance (10⁻⁵). The results from both approaches are in good agreement. From the results, it is found that the stability of this type of beam exhibits both stable and unstable configurations. The limit load point existed. The roller support can move through the hinged support in some cases of β and leads to the more complex of the configuration shapes of the beam.     

Inverse problem of elastica of a variable-arc-length beam subjected to a concentrated load

An inverse problem of elastica of a variable-arc-length beam subjected to a concentrated load is investigated. The beam is fixed at one end, and can slide freely over a hinge support at the other end. The inverse problem is to determine the value of the load when the deflection of the action point of the load is given. Based on the elasitca equations and the elliptic integrals, a set of nonlinear equations for the inverse problem are derived, and an analytical solution by means of iterations and Quasi-Newton method is presented. From the results, the relationship between the loads and deflections of the loading point is obtained.

On the parametric stability of a Timoshenko beam subjected to a periodic axial load

Summary The dynamic buckling of a hinged bar under harmonic axial load is studied using Timoshenko's beam theory and considering the effects of longitudinal vibrations. Several new types of parametric resonances were found. The influences of the more accurate Timoshenko beam theory on the instability regions found with the Bernoulli-Euler theory is also discussed.

Large dynamic plastic deflection of a simply supported beam subjected to rectangular pressure pulse

Summary This paper concerns the dynamic behaviour of rigid, perfectly plastic simply supported beams with finite deflections by considering both bending moments and axial forces. In the case of rectangular pressure pulse loading, approximate rigid-plastic theoretical solutions are obtained for both medium load and high load; to this end a parabolic law between bending moment and axial force as yield condition is approximated by a circumscribing or an inscribing rectangle. The concept of Saturation Impulse is put forward for the dynamic response of rigid, perfectly plastic structures with finite deflections subjected to rectangular pressure pulse. The value of dimensionless saturation impulse for both simply supported and fully clamped beams are given.

Große dynamische, plastische Auslenkung eines einfach gestützten Balkens unter einem rechteckigen Druckimpuls

Übersicht Dieser Artikel behandelt das dynamische Verhalten von starren, ideal-plastischen, einfach gestützten Balken mit endlichen Auslenkungen. Dabei werden sowohl Biegemomente als auch Längskräfte berücksichtigt. Für den Fall einer Last in Form eines rechteckigen Druckimpulses erhält man sowohl für mittlere als auch für hohe Last theoretische Näherungs-lösungen. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine parabolische Fließbedingung zwischen Biegemoment und Axialkraft über ein äußeres und inneres Rechteck angenähert. Der Begriff des Sättigungsimpulses wird im Zusammenhang mit der dynamischen Antwort von starren, ideal-plastischen Strukturen mit endlichen Auslenkungen auf einen rechteckigen Druckimpuls vorgestellt. Der Wert des dimensionslosen Sättigungsimpulses wird für einfach gestützte und für vollständig eingespannte Balken gegeben.

Transient response of a layered elastic half space subjected to a reciprocating anti-plane shear load

The well-known Cagniard's technique seems very useful for analyzing the transient problem of an elastic body subjected to a moving load with uniform velocity, but, in the cases of non-uniform velocity it would be difficult to apply the technique directly to analyze the problem. For such cases, instead of the technique, the convolution theorem of the Laplace transform or the dynamic Betti-Rayleigh reciprocal theorem has been applied usefully by many authors.In this paper, an inversion scheme which enables us to apply the Cagniard's technique directly to those difficult problems is presented by solving the problem of a reciprocating anti-plane shear load applied to a layered elastic half space. In this treatment it will be found clearly that our technique is simpler and more systematic than any other techniques for solving the problem. Numerical results are shown in the form of curves and the wave-front singularities are also investigated.     

Free vibrations of a beam with elastic end restraints subject to a constant axial load

A general model for vibration of beams restrained with two transversal and two rotational elastic springs subject to a constant axially load is presented. The frequency equations and the shape functions are derived analytically. The proposed model can be employed for simulating the dynamic responses of elastically supported beams in tension or compression for most classical boundary conditions. Some simplifications in the degenerate cases are deduced to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. Numeric examples are given for engineering applications. This model unifies most of the previous vibration models and provides a convenient tool for the analyses of various beam vibrations in tension and compression conditions.     

On fracture behavior of brittle cantilever beam subjected to lateral impact load

The fracture patterns produced by concentrated impact loading on brittle beams and their dependence on the impact velocity and beam length has been determined. The experiment was performed using the transverse impact of a steel ball on the free end of cantilever beams made of plaster. The mechanism, location and time sequence of fracture were photographed by a camera connected to a stroboscope or with a high-speed framing camera. It was found experimentally that the concentrated impact loadings produce three characteristic fracture behaviors. Moreover, by using the dynamic photoelastic technique, the authors found it possible to explain theoretically the fracture behavior of this experiment by using the theory of flexural motion of a semi-infinite beam. Hence, applying an impact-fracture criterion to this theory, the fracture patterns of brittle beam can be estimated.     

Transverse vibration of a multiple-Timoshenko beam system with intermediate elastic connections due to a moving load

Based on Timoshenko beam theory, the dynamic response of an elastically connected multiple-beam system is investigated. The identical prismatic beams are assumed to be parallel and connected by a finite number of springs. Assuming n parallel Timoshenko beams, the motion of the system is described by a coupled set of 2n partial differential equations. The method involves a change of variables and modal analysis to decouple and to solve the governing differential equations, respectively. A case study is solved in detail to demonstrate the methodology and several plots of the midpoint deflections of beams are given and investigated for different values of moving load velocity and the stiffness of elastic connections. From the numerical results it is observed that the maximum deflection of the multiple Timoshenko beam system is always smaller than one of a single beam.
