Calculating response spectral moments by complex modal analysis

Response spectral moments are useful for system reliability analysis. Usually, spectral moments are calculated by the frequency domain method. Based on the time domain modal analysis of random vibrations, the authors present a new method for calculating response spectral moments through response correlation functions. The method can be applied to both classical and non-classical damping cases and to three kinds of random excitations, i.e., white noise, band-limited white noise, and filtered white noise.

Flexural Stress Concentration Near a Hyperboloidal Neck in a Transversely Isotropic Piezoceramic Cylinder

The general solution of the electroelastic problem for a transversely isotropic hyperboloid of revolution is used to find the stress concentration near a hyperboloidal neck in a piezoceramic body subjected to bending. The solution is a sum of four partial solutions for the case where the forces and the normal component of the induction vector on the neck surface are equal to zero. Numerical examples are given for specific external loads and properties of the body. The stress components and normal component of the induction vector near the neck vertex are plotted as a function of the external load and neck curvature     

GENERAL SOLUTION OF THE OVERALL BENDING OF FLEXIBLE CIRCULAR RING SHELLS WITH MODERATELY SLENDER RATIO AND APPLICATIONS TO THE BELLOWS (Ⅰ)-GOVERNING EQUATION AND GENERAL SOLUTION

The overall bending of circular ring shells subjected to bending moments and lateral forces is discussed. The derivation of the equations was based upon the theory of flexible shells generalized by E.L. Axelrad and the assumption of the moderately slender ratio less than 1/3 (i.e., ratio between curvature radius of the meridian and distance from the meridional curvature center to the axis of revolution). The present general solution is an analytical one convergent in the whole domain of the shell and with the necessary integral constants for the boundary value problems. It can be used to calculate the stresses and displacements of the related bellows. The whole work is arranged into four parts: (Ⅰ) Governing equation and general solution; (Ⅱ) Calculation for Omega-shaped bellows; (Ⅲ) Calculation for C-shaped bellows; (Ⅳ) Calculation for U-shaped bellows. This paper is the first part.

Nonlinear Stiffness of a Magneto-Rheological Damper

The last decade has witnessed an important role of magneto-rheological dampers in the semi-active vibration control on the basis of empirical models. Those models established by fitting experimental data, however, do not offer any explicit expressions for the stiffness and the damping of magneto-rheological dampers. Hence, it is not easy for engineers to get any intuitive information about the effects of stiffness and damping of a magneto-rheological damper on the dynamic performance of a controlled system. To manifest the nonlinear properties of a magneto-rheological damper, this paper presents the hysteretic phenomena and the additional nonlinear stiffness of a typical magneto-rheological damper in terms of equivalent linear stiffness and equivalent linear damping. Then, it gives a brief discussion about the effect of nonlinear stiffness on the vibration control through the numerical simulations and an experiment for the semi-active suspension of a quarter car model with a magneto-rheological damper installed. Both numerical simulations and experimental results show that the additional nonlinear stiffness in the magneto-rheological damper is remarkable, and should be taken into consideration in the design of vibration control.     

Vibrations of polygonal plates with various boundary conditions

The bending vibrations of polygonal (L-shaped) plates with different shapes and boundary conditions are studied. The natural frequencies are calculated using the inverse-iteration and Kantorovich-Vlasov methods. To take the configuration of the domain into account, the fictitious domain method and an analog of the force method of structural mechanics are used. Different trends in the dependence of the lowest natural frequency of an L-shaped plate on its geometry are illustrated for different boundary conditions.Acorrelation between the extreme values of the bending frequency and some relations for the energy characteristics of the plate is established __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 63–72, May 2007.     

梁的蠕变开裂各向同性弯曲损伤分析

在梁的纯弯曲损伤基本假设条件下，导出了弯曲损伤的基本方程，与Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ的材料刚度劣化（受载横截面积减小）定义拉伸损伤变虽类似，以梁的弯曲刚度劣化（惯性矩减小）定义弯曲损伤变量，从而建立了与Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ拉伸损伤模型相类似的梁的各向同性弯曲损伤模型。最后，以受蠕变纯弯曲梁为实例进行了损伤分析，所得计算结果与Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ拉伸损伤模型所得结果比较吻合，表明该弯曲损伤模型是合理适用的。

GENERAL SOLUTION OF THE OVERALL BENDING OF FLEXIBLE CIRCULAR RING SHELLS WITH MODERATELY SLENDER RATIO AND APPLICATIONS TO THE BELLOWS (Ⅲ)-CALCULATION FOR C-SHAPED BELLOWS

This is one of the applications of Part (I), in which the angular stiffness, the lateral stiffness and the corresponding stress distributions of C-shaped bellows were calculated. The bellows was divided into protruding sections and concave sections for the use of the general solution (I), but the continuity of the stress resultants and the deformations at each joint of the sections were entirely satisfied. The present results were compared with those of the other theories and experiments, and are also tested by the numerically integral method. It is shown that the governing equation and the general solution (I) are very effective. Contributed by HUANG Qian Biography: ZHU Wei-ping (1962-)
