The dynamic response of a strain-softening beam

The dynamic response of a strain-softening beam subjected to a transverse impulsive on its tip is investigated. A softening moment-curvature relation is assumed for the beam and a closed form solution is obtained for a special kind of load, which shows that there exists a softening region in the beam and this region propagates along the beam. This result indicates that, except for the possible discrete softening points with rotation discontinuity caused by the deformation localization^[1], the existence of the softening region and its travelling along the beam are the essential features of the dynamic response of a strain-softening beam. The results also show that the failure of the beam should take place under a special load and the critical condition on which the dynamic failure occurs is given.

A new method for the non-linear deflection analysis of an infinite beam resting on a non-linear elastic foundation

The aim of this paper is to develop a new method of analyzing the non-linear deflection behavior of an infinite beam on a non-linear elastic foundation. Non-linear beam problems have traditionally been dealt with by semi-analytical approaches that involve small perturbations or by numerical methods, such as the non-linear finite element method. In this paper, in contrast, a transformed non-linear integral equation that governs non-linear beam deflection behavior is formulated to develop a new method for non-linear solutions. The proposed method requires an iteration to solve non-linear problems, but is fairly simple and straightforward to apply. It also converges quickly, whereas traditional non-linear solution procedures are generally quite complex in application. Mathematical analysis of the proposed method is performed. In addition, illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the method developed in the present study.

On the dynamic vibrations of an elastic beam in frictional contact with a rigid obstacle

Existence and uniqueness results are established for weak formulations of initial-boundary value problems which model the dynamic behavior of an Euler-Bernoulli beam that may come into frictional contact with a stationary obstacle. The beam is assumed to be situated horizontally and may move both horizontally and vertically, as a result of applied loads. One end of the beam is clamped, while the other end is free. However, the horizontal motion of the free end is restricted by the presence of a stationary obstacle and when this end contacts the obstacle, the vertical motion of the end is assumed to be affected by friction. The contact and friction at this end is modelled in two different ways. The first involves the classic Signorini unilateral or nonpenetration conditions and Coulomb's law of dry friction; the second uses a normal compliance contact condition and a corresponding generalization of Coulomb's law. In both cases existence and uniqueness are established when the beam is subject to Kelvin-Voigt damping. In the absence of damping, existence of a solution is established for a problem in which the normal contact stress is regularized.The work of the last two authors was supported in part by Oakland University Research Fellowships.

General analytic solution of dynamic response of beams with nonhomogeneity and variable cross-section

In this paper, a new method, the step-reduction method, is proposed to investigate the dynamic response of the Bernoulli-Euler beams with arbitrary nonhomogeneity and arbitrary variable cross-section under arbitrary loads. Both free vibration and forced vibration of such beams are studied. The new method requires to discretize the space domain into a number of elements. Each element can be treated as a homogeneous one with uniform thickness. Therefore, the general analytical solution of homogeneous beams with uniform cross-section can be used in each element. Then, the general analytic solution of the whole beam in terms of initial parameters can be obtained by satisfying the physical and geometric continuity conditions at the adjacent elements. In the case of free vibration, the frequency equation in analytic form can be obtained, and in the case of forced vibration, a final solution in analytical form can also be obtained which is involved in solving a set of simultaneous algebraic equations with only     

Optimal control of the dynamic response of an anisotropic plate with various boundary conditions

The problem of minimising the dynamic response of an anisotropic rectangular plate with minimum possible expenditure of force is presented for various cases of boundary conditions. The plate has a principal direction of anisotropy rotated at an arbitrary angle relative to the coordinate axes. This orientation angle has been taken as an optimisation design parameter. The control problem is formulated as an optimisation problem by using a performance index, which comprises a weight sum of the control objective and penalty function of the control force. The explicit solutions for the closed-loop distributed control function is obtained by means of Liapunov-Bellman theory. To assess the present solution, numerical results are presented to illustrate the effect of anisotropy ratio, orientation angle, aspect ratio and boundary conditions on the control process.     

On the dynamic behaviour of a beam with an accelerating mass

Summary The dynamic behaviour of an Euler beam traversed by a moving concentrated mass, is analyzed for the general case of a mass moving with a varying speed. The equation of motion in a matrix form is formulated using the Lagrangian approach and the assumed mode method. The dimensionless form of the equation enables the numerical results to be applicable for a wide range of system parameters. The possibility of the mass separating from the beam is analyzed by examining the contact forces between the mass and the beam during the motion.

Stability and non-linear second-order elastic analyses of beam and framed structures with semi-rigid connections using the cross method

The main objective of this publication is to present an extended version of the Moment Distribution Method (MDM) for the stability and non-linear second-order analysis of indeterminate beams and framed structures made of beam-columns of symmetrical cross-section including the combined effects of shear and bending deformations, axial loads, and semi-rigid connections. The proposed method along each member has the following advantages: (1) it can be utilized in the first- and second-order analyses (including buckling analysis) of indeterminate beams and framed structures made of beam-columns with rigid, semi-rigid, and simple end connections; (2) the effects of semi-rigid connections are condensed into the bending stiffness and fixed-end moments without introducing additional degrees of freedom and equations of equilibrium; and (3) it is accurate, powerful, practical, versatile, and an excellent teaching tool. Analytical studies indicate that shear deformations, semi-rigid connections, and axial loads increase the lateral deflections and affect the internal moments and reactions of continuous beams and framed structures. These effects must be taken into account particularly in slender structures and when they are made of beam or columns with relatively low effective shear areas (like laced columns, columns with batten plates or with perforated cover plates, and columns with open webs) or with low shear stiffness (like short columns made of laminated composites with low shear modulus G when compared to their elastic modulus E) making the shear stiffness GA_s of the same order of magnitude as EI/L². These effects become even more significant when the external supports are not perfectly clamped. Three comprehensive examples are included that show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Analytical formulation of the Jacobian matrix for non-linear calculation of the forced response of turbine blade assemblies with wedge friction dampers

A fundamental issue in turbomachinery design is the dynamical stress assessment of turbine blades. In order to reduce stress peaks in the turbine blades at engine orders corresponding to blade natural frequencies, friction dampers are employed. Blade response calculation requires the solution of a set of non-linear equations originated by the introduction of friction damping.

Such a set of non-linear equations is solved using the iterative numerical Newton–Raphson method. However, calculation of the Jacobian matrix of the system using classical numerical finite difference schemes makes frequency domain solver prohibitively expensive for structures with many contact points. Large computation time results from the evaluation of partial derivatives of the non-linear equations with respect to the displacements.

In this work a methodology to compute efficiently the Jacobian matrix of a dynamic system having wedge dampers is presented. It is exact and completely analytical.

The proposed methods have been successfully applied to a real intermediate pressure turbine (IPT) blade under cyclic symmetry boundary conditions with underplatform wedge dampers. Its implementation showed to be very effective, and allowed to achieve relevant time savings without loss of precision.

Energy method solution for the postbuckling response of an axially loaded bilaterally constrained beam

Bistable and multistable structures have shown great usefulness in many applications such as MEMS actuation and energy harvesting. Bistability of structures can be achieved through buckling. Confining a buckled beam between two lateral constraints allows it to buckle into higher modes as the axial load increases. This paper presents a theoretical study of the postbuckling response of a bilaterally constrained elastica subjected to gradually increased axial load. Equilibrium states are determined using an energy method. Under small deformation assumptions, the total potential energy is minimized under the defined constraints. The presented model allows for an accurate representation of the flatting behavior and the increase in the length of contact areas with the lateral constraints before the sudden snapping between equilibrium states. Mode transitions are manifested by jumps in the response curves. Previously developed models based on geometry and symmetries overestimate the required forces for higher equilibrium modes and do not match experimental observations. Results are validated with experimental force–displacement measurements under both force- and displacement-control. The kinetic energy released during buckling mode transitions is determined by a dynamic analysis.
