A damage identification technique for beam-like and truss structures based on FRF and Bat Algorithm

In this paper, a Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technique for damage identification in beam-like and truss structures using Frequency Response Function (FRF) data coupled with optimization techniques is presented. Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Bat Algorithm (BA) are used to estimate the location and severity of damage. The damage in the structures is simulated by reduction in rigidity of specific members. Both optimization techniques are coupled with modelled structures using Finite Element Method (FEM). The approach is based on minimizing an objective function by comparing measured and calculated FRFs. The results show that better accuracy is obtained using BA than using GA in terms of precision and computational time. Furthermore, it is found that the proposed approach provides faster solution than other approaches in the literature.     

Dynamic modeling and modal truncation approach for a high-speed rotating elastic beam

Summary  In the classical finite element analysis of beams, the nonlinear terms of deformation are ignored due to the linearization of deformation based on the assumptions of structural dynamics. Since the number of generalized coordinates is large in flexible bodies when using the finite element method (FEM), the modal truncation approach (MTA) is usually used for improving computational efficiency, and only lower-order transverse modes are chosen. In this paper, dynamic modeling and application of the MTA to a high-speed rotating beam are studied. The foreshortening displacement is included in the longitudinal displacement, therefore the dynamic modeling takes account of the effect of geometric nonlinearity. Equations of a rotating beam are obtained and the FEM and MTA are used for discretization. The applicability of the MTA to a high-speed rotating elastic beam is verified. The comparison of the results obtained by the FEM and MTA shows that in the case of a high-speed rotation, the centrifugal force can excite high-order transverse modes. Since using lower-order transverse modes for modal truncation obviously can cause error, addition of more transverse modes may improve the result. Furthermore, a coupling effect between axial and transverse displacements is revealed. It is shown that in the case of a sudden change of the axial displacement, the inclusion of the axial modes can significantly improve the response.

Modal Model Identification with Unknown Nonstationary Base Motion

Techniques developed for structural identification are typically devoted to obtaining a model, parametrical or not, on the basis of information on the structural response and on the forcing action, both assumed as known from experimental tests. In many situations, however, it may be necessary, or simply useful, to refer only to the measured response. In this paper we describe the theoretical aspects of a technique we have recently developed to identify the modal model in the frequency domain when the input is unknown. To simplify, we refer to unknown nonstationary base motion, but many of our conclusions can be extended to different situations. We show that, from a theoretical point of view, the identification problem has a unique solution, for this kind of input, when at least three time histories are known, and this circumstance had never been pointed out before. Because the theoretical analysis furnishes only necessary conditions for the existence of a unique solution, an extensive numerical analysis is reported in the second part of the paper, which also shows the sensitivity of the identification procedure.     

Crack Detection in an Embedded Spindle using Broadband Modal Excitation

This paper demonstrates a methodology for detecting cracks in a metal spindle, which is housed within a military vehicle wheel end assembly. A finite element model is used to estimate the undamped natural frequencies of the raw spindle. Additional mass and stiffness is then added to a simplified model of the spindle to simulate sources of variability within the assembly. Spindles are tested outside the wheel end assembly to compare the responses of undamaged and cracked spindles. A hypothesis testing approach is developed to detect the presence of a crack based on damage indices involving the summation and multiplication of spectral energies. Experiments on wheel assemblies mounted on a vehicle with the vehicle lifted off the ground are performed to demonstrate that the wheel assemblies can be nondestructively evaluated to identify cracks of varying depths despite sources of variability due to the presence of the brake drum, lack of repeatability in the sensor attachment, and other issues.     

Finite elements for exterior problems using integral equations

We present some integral methods for exterior problems for the Laplace equation. Then we give finite element approximations for these equations and some errors estimates. Finally, we indicate how these integral equations can be coupled with a usual finite element method on a bounded domain to solve an exterior non-linear problem which is linear far away.

Improved modal truncation method for eigensensitivity analysis of asymmetric matrix with repeated eigenvalues

An improved modal truncation method with arbitrarily high order accuracy is developed for calculating the second- and third-order eigenvalue derivatives and the first- and second-order eigenvector derivatives of an asymmetric and non-defective matrix with repeated eigenvalues. If the different eigenvalues λ1, λ2,, λrof the matrix satisfy |λ1| |λr| and |λs| |λs+1|(s r-1), then associated with any eigenvalue λi(i s), the errors of the eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives obtained by the qth-order approximate method are proportional to |λi/λs+1|q+1, where the approximate method only uses the eigenpairs corresponding to λ1, λ2,, λs. A numerical example shows the validity of the approximate method. The numerical example also shows that in order to get the approximate solutions with the same order accuracy, a higher order method should be used for higher order eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives.

Identification of Dynamic (Young’s and Shear) Moduli of a Structural Adhesive Using Modal Based Direct Model Updating Method

In this paper, mechanical characteristics (Young’s modulus and shear modulus) of an adhesive are identified using modal based direct model updating method and experimental modal data. The results show that both Young’s and shear moduli of adhesive are frequency dependent. Also, it is demonstrated that the thickness and length of the adhesive-line have influence on these properties. All experiments and subsequent identifications are conducted both in bending and shear modes, and it has been shown that the shear modulus of adhesive is more sensitive to length and thickness variations. The repeatability and consistency of method is proved through repeating the process several times and with different adherends.     

Synchronization of two coupled exciters in a vibrating system of spatial motion

The paper proposes an analytical approach to investigate the synchronization of the two coupled exciters in a vibrating system of spatial motion. Introducing the distur- bance parameters for average angular velocity of two excit- ers, we deduce the non-dimensional coupling equations of angular velocities of two exciters, in which the inertia cou- pling matrix is symmetric and the stiffness coupling matrix is antisymmetric in a non-resonant vibrating system. The analysis of the coupling dynamic characteristic shows that the coupled cosine effect of the phase angles will cause the torque acting on two motors to limit the increase of phase difference between two exciters as well as sustain its sym- metry of two exciters during the running process. It physi- cally explains the peculiarity of self-synchronization of two exciters. The cosine effect of phase angles of the vibrations excited by each exciter will decrease its moment of inertia. The residual moment of inertia of each exciter represents its relative moment of inertia. The stability condition of synchro- nization of two exciters is that the relative non-dimensional moments of inertia of two exciters are all greater than zero and four times their product is greater than the square of their coefficient of coupled cosine effect of phase angles, which is equivalent to that the inertia coupling matrix is positive definite and all its elements are positive. The numeric results show that the structure of the vibrating system can ensure the stability condition of synchronous operation.     

On a modal damping identification model of building structures

The simple modal damping identification model of Hart and Vasudevan is generalized. The model works in the frequency domain and provides time-invariant modal damping ratios of building structures under seismic excitations in terms of modal participation factors and the roof-to-basement transfer function. Translational as well as torsional modes of vibration are considered. The performance of the model is assessed through a small, yet indicative, number of numerical examples involving steel plane and space frames under seismic excitations and on the basis of a number of criteria an ideal identification model should satisfy. It is concluded that the presented model, in spite of its simplicity, gives very good results for low-amplitude seismic excitations resulting in linear elastic structural behavior (with damping) even for cases of closely spaced modes, local modes, and very small or large amounts of damping. Some numerical pitfalls regarding the application of the model are mentioned and carefully treated. The limitations of the model when used in conjunction with inelastic structural behavior are determined and discussed. Experimental verification of the model is also provided.     

A meshfree-based local Galerkin method with condensation of degree of freedom for elastic dynamic analysis简

Condensation technique of degree of freedom is first proposed to improve the computational efficiency of meshfree method with Galerkin weak form for elastic dy- namic analysis. In the present method, scattered nodes with- out connectivity are divided into several subsets by cells with arbitrary shape. Local discrete equation is established over each cell by using moving Kriging interpolation, in which the nodes that located in the cell are used for approxima- tion. Then local discrete equations can be simplified by con- densation of degree of freedom, which transfers equations of inner nodes to equations of boundary nodes based on cells. The global dynamic system equations are obtained by as- sembling all local discrete equations and are solved by using the standard implicit Newmark＇s time integration scheme. In the scheme of present method, the calculation of each cell is carried out by meshfree method, and local search is imple- mented in interpolation. Numerical examples show that the present method has high computational efficiency and good accuracy in solving elastic dynamic problems.     

2D FE–DEM analysis of tractive performance of an elastic wheel for planetary rovers

We have been developing a simulation program for use with soil–wheel interaction problems by coupling Finite Element Method (FEM) and Discrete Element Method (DEM) for which a wheel is modeled by FEM and soil is expressed by DEM. Previous two-dimensional FE–DEM was updated to analyze the tractive performance of a flexible elastic wheel by introducing a new algorithm learned from the PID-controller model. In an elastic wheel model, four structural parts were defined using FEM: the wheel rim, intermediate part, surface layer, and wheel lugs. The wheel rigidity was controlled by varying the Young’s Modulus of the intermediate part. The tractive performance of two elastic wheels with lugs for planetary rovers of the European Space Agency was analyzed. Numerical results were compared with experimentally obtained results collected at DLR Bremen, Germany. The FE–DEM result was confirmed to depict similar behaviors of tractive performance such as gross tractive effort, net traction, running resistance, and wheel sinkage, as in the results of experiments. Moreover, the tractive performance of elastic wheels on Mars was predicted using FE–DEM. Results clarified that no significant difference of net traction exists between the two wheels.
