动力有限元附加质量法及在结构振动计算中的应用

动力有限元法中,只有当单元分割得很多时,求得的动力特性才有较准确的值。由于计算机容量的限制,人们总希望用最少的单元数达到较高的准确度,但当单元分得较少时,现有的有限元法即出现了一定的误差。本文直接从迭加原理出发,以杆系结构为例,当职静力方程解的多项式为位移模式时,只要对质量矩阵附加一个修正部分,即得准确解;并且说明,在略去高阶微量时,以所得到的附加修正质量矩阵进行计算,仍具有很高的准确度。同时,在推导过程中,本文除考虑弯曲变形外,还计及了剪切变形的影响,因此附加修正质量矩阵是含有剪切项的,而不考虑剪切变形是其特殊情况。对于空间杆系,附加质量矩阵也已推导列入文中。     

薄板弯曲分析的高阶高效无网格法

与传统有限元法相比,无网格法具有节点形函数高度光滑、易于形成高阶近似等优势,更适合于以薄板弯曲问题为代表的高阶偏微分方程的数值求解。然而,高阶无网格法的形函数是非多项式的有理函数,导致弱形式的区域积分难以得到精确计算,通常采用的高阶高斯积分方法需使用大量积分点,计算效率低且精度不高。本文针对薄板弯曲问题的高阶（三阶）无网格法分析,首次发展了与该高阶近似相一致的曲率光顺方案,并基于背景三角形积分单元建立了相应的数值积分格式,大幅度减少了所需的积分点数目。所发展方法的关键在于计算刚度阵所需的形函数的二阶导数由形函数及其一阶导数通过散度定理确定,而非对形函数直接求导获得。数值结果表明,基于标准的高斯积分方案的高阶无网格法精度不高,不能精确再现纯弯曲和线性弯曲模式,且得到的弯矩场分布存在严重的虚假数值振荡。而本文所建议的基于曲率光顺方案的高阶无网格法能够方便高效地求解薄板弯曲问题,尤其是它能精确反映纯弯曲和线性弯曲模式。与标准的高斯积分方法和目前主流的常曲率光顺方法相比,本文方法在计算效率、精度、弯矩分布等方面均展现出显著优势,因而具有较好的应用价值。

Modified Mindlin plate theory and shear locking-free finite element formulation

The basic equations of the Mindlin theory are specified as starting point for its modification in which total deflection and rotations are split into pure bending deflection and shear deflection with bending angles of rotation, and in-plane shear angles. The equilibrium equations of the former displacement field are split into one partial differential equation for flexural vibrations. In the latter case two differential equations for in-plane shear vibrations are obtained, which are similar to the well-known membrane equations. Rectangular shear locking-free finite element for flexural vibrations is developed. For in-plane shear vibrations ordinary membrane finite elements can be used. Application of the modified Mindlin theory is illustrated in a case of simply supported square plate. Problems are solved analytically and by FEM and the obtained results are compared with the relevant ones available in the literature.     

Vibration analysis of periodic cellular solids based on an effective couple-stress continuum model

Cellular solids are usually treated as homogeneous continuums with effective properties. Nevertheless, these mechanical properties depend strongly on the ratio of the specimen size to the cell size. These size effects may be accounted for according to preliminary static analysis of effective continuums based on couple-stress theory. In this paper an effective dynamic continuum model, based on couple-stress theory, is proposed to analyze the behavior of free vibrations of periodic cellular solids. In this continuum model, the effective mechanical constants of the effective continuum are deduced by an equivalent energy method. The cellular solid structure is then replaced with the equivalent couple-stress continuum with same overall dimension and shape. Moreover, the finite element formulation of the couple-stress continuum for the generalized eigenvalue analysis is developed to implement the free vibration analysis. The eigenfrequencies of the effective continuum are then obtained via the shear beam theory or the finite element method. A conventional finite element analysis by discretizing each cell of the cellular solids is also carried out to serve as an exact solution. Several structural cases are calculated to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed continuum model. Good agreement on structural eigenfrequencies between the effective continuum solutions and the exact solutions shows that the proposed continuum model can accurately simulate the dynamic behavior of the cellular solids.     

Effects of texture on shear band formation in plane strain tension/compression and bending

In this study, effects of typical texture components observed in rolled aluminum alloy sheets on shear band formation in plane strain tension/compression and bending are systematically studied. The material response is described by a generalized Taylor-type polycrystal model, in which each grain is characterized in terms of an elastic–viscoplastic continuum slip constitutive relation. First, a simple model analysis in which the shear band is assumed to occur in a weaker thin slice of material is performed. From this simple model analysis, two important quantities regarding shear band formation are obtained: i.e. the critical strain at the onset of shear banding and the corresponding orientation of shear band. Second, the shear band development in plane strain tension/compression is analyzed by the finite element method. Predictability of the finite element analysis is compared to that of the simple model analysis. Third, shear band developments in plane strain pure bending of a sheet specimen with the typical textures are studied. Regions near the surfaces in a bent sheet specimen are approximately subjected to plane strain tension or compression. From this viewpoint, the bendability of a sheet specimen may be evaluated, using the knowledge regarding shear band formation in plane strain tension/compression. To confirm this and to encompass overall deformation of a bent sheet specimen, including shear bands, finite element analyses of plane strain pure bending are carried out, and the predicted shear band formation in bent specimens is compared to that in the tension/compression problem. Finally, the present results are compared to previous related studies, and the efficiency of the present method for materials design in future is discussed.     

Application of the quadrilateral area coordinate method： a new element for laminated composite plate bending problems

Recently, some new quadrilateral finite elements were successfully developed by the Quadrilateral Area Coordinate (QAC) method. Compared with those traditional models using isoparametric coordinates, these new models are less sensitive to mesh distortion. In this paper, a new displacement-based, 4-node 20-DOF (5-DOF per node) quadrilateral bending element based on the first-order shear deformation theory for analysis of arbitrary laminated composite plates is presented. Its bending part is based on the element AC-MQ4, a recent-developed high-performance Mindlin-Reissner plate element formulated by QAC method and the generalized conforming condition method; and its in-plane displacement fields are interpolated by bilinear shape functions in isoparametric coordinates. Furthermore, the hybrid post-processing procedure, which was firstly proposed by the authors, is employed again to improve the stress solutions, especially for the transverse shear stresses. The resulting element, denoted as AC-MQ4-LC, exhibits excellent performance in all linear static and dynamic numerical examples. It demonstrates again that the QAC method, the generalized conforming condition method, and the hybrid post-processing procedure are efficient tools for developing simple, effective and reliable finite element models. The project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10502028), the Special Foundation for the Authors of the Nationwide (China) Excellent Doctoral Dissertation (200242), and the Science Research Foundation of China Agricultural University (2004016).     

Identification of dynamic properties of plate-like structures by using a continuum model

The common approach currently used in the aircraft structural analysis is the finite element method. NASA's research in computational structures technology (CST) is helping to develop the finite element analysis to a new stage, although the significant limitations still exist. The elements used in the finite element method are usually void of dynamics. The consequence is that hundreds and thousands of elements are needed to represent large flexible aircraft structures in order to acquire analytical accuracy. To avoid the large dimensionality the current practice is to reduce the order of the model for structural system identification and control synthesis. This approximation, however, can lead to system instability due to the dynamics which are ignored.In contrast, distributed parameter modeling seems to offer a viable alternative to the finite element approach for modeling large flexible aerospace structures. Distributed parameter models have the advantage of improved accuracy, reduced number of modal parameters, and the avoidance of modal order reduction. Most of the effort on the continuum modeling so far is contributed to the beam-like structures which are composed of beams, tethers and rigid bodies. For the aircraft structural analysis, however, another important type of structural elements is plate. The principle of the monocoque or semi-monocoque type of aircraft construction is fundamentally the use of a thin-walled tube to carry compression, tension, shear, and bending. It is necessary, therefore, to expand the continuum modeling methodology to the plate-like structures to satisfy the requirement in the aircraft structural analysis, especially for the monocoque structures.This paper has developed a continuum modeling algorithm for the identification of dynamic properties of plate-like structures. A closed-form solution of the Timoshenko plate equation consistent with the maximum likelihood estimator has been derived. The closed-form expressions of the gradient functions have thereby been resulted from the solution of the partial differential equation. The proposed distributed parameter model involves far fewer unknown parameters than independent modal characteristics for finite element models. Illustration of this approach is given by a computer simulation which shows that the estimated results by using continuum model are reasonably accurate compared with the theoretical results.

High-precision solution to the moving load problem using an improved spectral element method

In this paper, the spectral element method(SEM)is improved to solve the moving load problem. In this method, a structure with uniform geometry and material properties is considered as a spectral element, which means that the element number and the degree of freedom can be reduced significantly. Based on the variational method and the Laplace transform theory, the spectral stiffness matrix and the equivalent nodal force of the beam-column element are established. The static Green function is employed to deduce the improved function. The proposed method is applied to two typical engineering practices—the one-span bridge and the horizontal jib of the tower crane. The results have revealed the following. First, the new method can yield extremely high-precision results of the dynamic deflection, the bending moment and the shear force in the moving load problem.In most cases, the relative errors are smaller than 1%. Second, by comparing with the finite element method, one can obtain the highly accurate results using the improved SEM with smaller element numbers. Moreover, the method can be widely used for statically determinate as well as statically indeterminate structures. Third, the dynamic deflection of the twin-lift jib decreases with the increase in the moving load speed, whereas the curvature of the deflection increases.Finally, the dynamic deflection, the bending moment and the shear force of the jib will all increase as the magnitude of the moving load increases.
