Optimal Slewing of a Flexible Spacecraft

An optimal slewing program is designed within the class of Euler rotations for a spacecraft with elastic elements. The mathematical model constructed accounts for an arbitrary number of partial modes of elastic vibrations. An optimal reorientation problem is formulated using a nontraditional performance criterion, which minimizes the dynamic overloads of the elastic elements in relative motion. An algorithm for solving the corresponding nonlinear boundary-value problem is developed and implemented in a software package of FORTRAN-programs. A neural network is generated in the space of slew parameters; it may be trained during a preflight period. Known radial basis functions are used to model the process of fast in-flight computation of the optimal reorientation program

A new efficient numerical method for contact mechanics of rough surfaces

In this work, a numerical method has been developed to investigate the adhesionless contact mechanics between rough surfaces. To solve the elastic problem a boundary elements approach is used with self-equilibrated square elements. The domain of integration is discretized developing an “intelligent” adaptive mesh and obtaining a considerable memory saving. The numerical convergence of the method has been verified by comparing the results with the Hertzian solution and by checking the stress probability distribution at the contact interface. The methodology has been then utilized to analyse the contact between an elastic flat substrate and a periodic numerically generated self-affine fractal rigid surface. The fractal surface has been generated by employing spectral methods. The results of our investigation supports the findings of some analytical theories (Persson, 2001) and numerical findings (Yang et al., 2006, Hyun et al., 2004, Carbone and Bottiglione, 2008, Campana and Muser, 2007) in terms of linearity between contact area and load and stress probability distributions.     

Analysis of Thin Beams and Cables Using the Absolute Nodal Co-ordinate Formulation

The purpose of this paper is to present formulations for beam elements based on the absolute nodal co-ordinate formulation that can be effectively and efficiently used in the case of thin structural applications. The numerically stiff behaviour resulting from shear terms in existing absolute nodal co-ordinate formulation beam elements that employ the continuum mechanics approach to formulate the elastic forces and the resulting locking phenomenon make these elements less attractive for slender stiff structures. In this investigation, additional shape functions are introduced for an existing spatial absolute nodal co-ordinate formulation beam element in order to obtain higher accuracy when the continuum mechanics approach is used to formulate the elastic forces. For thin structures where bending stiffness can be important in some applications, a lower order cable element is introduced and the performance of this cable element is evaluated by comparing it with existing formulations using several examples. Cables that experience low tension or catenary systems where bending stiffness has an effect on the wave propagation are examples in which the low order cable element can be used. The cable element, which does not have torsional stiffness, can be effectively used in many problems such as in the formulation of the sliding joints in applications such as the spatial pantograph/catenary systems. The numerical study presented in this paper shows that the use of existing implicit time integration methods enables the simulation of multibody systems with a moderate number of thin and stiff finite elements in reasonable CPU time.

Construction of irregular particles with superquadric equation in DEM

Non-spherical particles are widely present in industrial production, and significantly affect the macro and micro characteristics of granular materials. Although the superquadric equation can be used to construct non-spherical particles, its disadvantage is that the particle shape is geometrically symmetric and strictly convex. In this study, two composed approaches are used to describe geometrically asymmetric and concave particle shapes, including a multi-superquadric model and a poly-superquadric model. The multi-superquadric model is a combination of several superquadric elements, and can construct concave and geometrically asymmetric particle shapes.The poly-superquadric model is a combination of eight one-eighth superquadric elements, and can construct convex and geometrically asymmetric particle shapes. Both composed models are based on superquadric equations, and Newton's iterative method is used to calculate the contact force between the elements. Furthermore, superquadric elements, multi-superquadric elements,and poly-superquadric elements are applied for the formation of complex granular beds, and the influences of particle shape on the packing fraction can be successfully captured by the proposed models.     

Plastic size effect analysis of lamellar composites using a discrete dislocation plasticity approach

Plastic size effect analysis of lamellar composites consisting of elastic and elastic-plastic layers is performed using a discrete dislocation plasticity approach, which is based on applying periodic homogenization to the superposition method for discrete dislocation plasticity. In this approach, the decomposition of displacements into macro and perturbed components circumvents the calculation of superposing displacement fields induced by dislocations in an infinitely homogeneous medium, resulting in two periodic boundary value problems specialized for the analysis of representative volume elements. The present approach is verified by analyzing a model lamellar composite that includes edge dislocations fixed at interfaces. The plastic size effects due to dislocation pile-ups at interfaces are also analyzed. The analysis shows that, strain hardening in elastic-plastic layers arises depending on two factors, namely the thickness and stiffness of elastic layers; and the gap between slip planes in adjacent elastic-plastic layers. In the case where the thickness of elastic layers is several dozen nm, strain hardening in elastic-plastic layers is restrained as the gap of the slip planes decreases. This particular effect is attributed to the long range stress due to pile-ups in adjacent elastic-plastic layers.
