基于减基概念的凸集结构可靠性分析方法

针对椭球凸集参数域结构的可靠性分析问题,提出了一种基于减基概念的快速求解方法。首先,将椭球参数域进行坐标正交变换,获得标准的椭球域及其相应的矩形域,在矩形域采样且通过坐标逆向变换获得原椭球参数域的样本参数点集,并以此构建结构的减基空间及其相应的减基算法;随后,在标准椭球域产生均匀的等概率抽样点,并通过坐标逆向变换和相应的减基算法进行蒙特卡洛减基模拟来分析结构的可靠度及其可靠域。由于是在低维的逼近空间中进行椭球参数域结构的位移向量解分析,故而较之有限元法能够获得较高的计算效率。算例测试验证了本文方法的有效性。

Chaotic vibrations of an orthotropic FGM rectangular plate based on third-order shear deformation theory

In this paper, an analysis on the nonlinear dynamics and chaos of a simply supported orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plate in thermal environment and subjected to parametric and external excitations is presented. Heat conduction and temperature-dependent material properties are both taken into account. The material properties are graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Based on the Reddy’s third-order share deformation plate theory, the governing equations of motion for the orthotropic FGM rectangular plate are derived by using the Hamilton’s principle. The Galerkin procedure is applied to the partial differential governing equations of motion to obtain a three-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system. The resonant case considered here is 1:2:4 internal resonance, principal parametric resonance-subharmonic resonance of order 1/2. Based on the averaged equation obtained by the method of multiple scales, the phase portrait, waveform and Poincare map are used to analyze the periodic and chaotic motions of the orthotropic FGM rectangular plate. It is found that the motions of the orthotropic FGM plate are chaotic under certain conditions.     

Parameter identification for cracks in elastic plate structures based on remote strain fields

A method for the detection of cracks in plate structures is presented. In contrast to most of the common monitoring concepts taking advantage of the reflection of elastic waves at crack faces, the presented approach is based on the strain measured at different locations on the surface of the structure. This allows both the identification of crack position parameters, such as length, location and angles with respect to a reference coordinate system and the calculation of stress intensity factors (SIF). The solution of the direct problem is performed on the basis of the BFM (body force method). The inverse problem is solved applying the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The BFM is based on the principle of linear superposition which allows the calculation of the strain field in a cracked body. The strain at an arbitrary point in the structure is replaced by the strain provided by body force doublets in the uncracked structure. The doublets as well as external loads are parameters which have to be determined solving the inverse problem by minimizing a fitness function, which is defined by a square sum of residuals between measured strain distributions and computed ones for an assumed crack. The PSO algorithm applied to the fitness function operates on the basis of a swarm of candidate solutions. Once knowing loading and crack parameters, the SIF can be determined.     

基于能度可靠性的结构优化设计方法

基于可靠性的结构优化设计是不确定性结构设计的最合理途径。本文提出了基于能度可靠性的结构优化设计方法,将不确定结构的优化设计描述为：在重量或造价约束下,极小化结构的失效可能度;或对确定的容许失效可能度,极小化结构重量或造价。所提方法和传统的基于随机可靠性的结构优化设计是平行和相似的。由于结构的能度可靠性模型对已知数据的依赖性较低,计算过程较为简便。从而可使结构设计阶段获取数据的难度大大降低,并有效降低计算工作量,且可使模糊信息的处理更为合理。实例计算说明了文中方法是有效和可行的。

Thermal buckling of functionally graded circular plates based on higher order shear deformation plate theory

In this research, thermal buckling of circular plates compose of functionally graded material (FGM) is considered. Equilibrium and stability equations of a FGM circular plate under thermal loads are derived, based on the higher order shear deformation plate theory (3rd order plate theory). Assuming that the material properties vary as a power form of the thickness coordinate variable z and using the variational method, the system of fundamental partial differential equations is established. A buckling analysis of a functionally graded circular plate (FGCP) under various types of thermal loads is carried out and the result are given in closed-form solutions. The results are compared with the critical buckling temperature obtained for FGCP based on first order (1st order plate theory) and classical plate theory (0 order plate theory) given in the literature. The study concludes that higher order shear deformation theory accurately predicts the behavior of FGCP, whereas the first order and classical plate theory overestimates buckling temperature.     

Finite element formulation of slender structures with shear deformation based on the Cosserat theory

This paper addresses the derivation of finite element modelling for nonlinear dynamics of Cosserat rods with general deformation of flexure, extension, torsion, and shear. A deformed configuration of the Cosserat rod is described by the displacement vector of the deformed centroid curve and an orthogonal moving frame, rigidly attached to the cross-section of the rod. The position of the moving frame relative to the inertial frame is specified by the rotation matrix, parameterised by a rotational vector. The shape functions with up to third order nonlinear terms of generic nodal displacements are obtained by solving the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion in a quasi-static sense. Based on the Lagrangian constructed by the Cosserat kinetic energy and strain energy expressions, the principle of virtual work is employed to derive the ordinary differential equations of motion with third order nonlinear generic nodal displacements. A cantilever is presented as a simple example to illustrate the use of the formulation developed here to obtain the lower order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion of a given structure. The corresponding nonlinear dynamical responses of the structures are presented through numerical simulations using the MATLAB software. In addition, a MicroElectroMechanical System (MEMS) device is presented. The developed equations of motion have furthermore been implemented in a VHDL-AMS beam model. Together with available models of the other components, a netlist of the device is formed and simulated within an electrical circuit simulator. Simulation results are verified against Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results for this device.

Bifurcation analysis of reduced rotor model based on nonlinear transient POD method

The singularity theory is applied to study the bifurcation behaviors of a reduced rotor model obtained by nonlinear transient POD method in this paper. A six degrees of freedom (DOFs) rotor model with cubically nonlinear stiffness supporting at both ends is established by the Newton's second law. The nonlinear transient POD method is used to reduce a six-DOFs model to a one-DOF one. The reduced model reserves the dynamical characteristics and occupies most POM energy of the original one. The singularity of the reduced system is analyzed, which replaces the original system. The bifurcation equation of the reduced model indicates that it is a high co-dimension bifurcation problem with co-dimension 6, and the universal unfolding (UN) is provided. The transient sets of six unfolding parameters, the bifurcation diagrams between the bifurcation parameter and the state variable are plotted. The results obtained in this paper present a new kind of method to study the UN theory of multi-DOFs rotor system.     

A new Kirchhoff plate model based on a modified couple stress theory

In this paper a new Kirchhoff plate model is developed for the static analysis of isotropic micro-plates with arbitrary shape based on a modified couple stress theory containing only one material length scale parameter which can capture the size effect. The proposed model is capable of handling plates with complex geometries and boundary conditions. From a detailed variational procedure the governing equilibrium equation of the micro-plate and the most general boundary conditions are derived, in terms of the deflection, using the principle of minimum potential energy. The resulting boundary value problem is of the fourth order (instead of existing gradient theories which is of the sixth order) and it is solved using the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) which is a boundary-type meshless method. Several plates of various shapes, aspect and Poisson’s ratios are analyzed to illustrate the applicability of the developed micro-plate model and to reveal the differences between the current model and the classical plate model. Moreover, useful conclusions are drawn from the micron-scale response of this new Kirchhoff plate model.

Numerical simulations of 3D open cell structures – influence of structural irregularities on elasto-plasticity and deformation localization

The mechanical properties of open cell structures made from an elastic–plastic bulk material are investigated by Finite Element simulations. The influence of structural irregularities on elasto-plasticity and deformation localization of open cell structures is analyzed. Six regular three-dimensional generic structures with a relative density of 12.5% are modeled by a unit cell approach for predicting the entire tensors of elasticity. From these six structures the two structures with the lowest and the highest elastic anisotropy are selected for further studies, introducing various degrees of structural irregularities. The effect of these irregularities on the linear and nonlinear behavior as well as the influence on the deformation localization is studied employing finite sample models. Results are presented by means of the direction dependent Young’s moduli, deformation plots, overall stress–strain curves, and histograms of the energy distribution.
