Dynamics of Geometrically Nonlinear Rods: II. Numerical Methods and Computational Examples

The paper selects and develops appropriate numerical solutionmethods for initial boundary value problems of the equations of motionof geometrically nonlinear extensible Euler–Bernoulli-beams. A finiteelement method that uses first-order Hermitian polynomials as interpolationfunctions for the rod axis position vector is used as discretizationtechnique. An averaging method for the calculation of net forces andmoments is developed that achieves a better approximation than thedirect calculation from the strains. Time integration is done usingan energy and momentum conserving algorithm that is proposed in thispaper and Newmark type methods. The derived algorithms are used tosolve problems from space and marine engineering. The obtained simulationresults are compared with results which have been already publishedin the literature or were calculated by different methods.

Acoustic emission monitoring of carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer bridge stay cables in large-scale testing

This paper presents acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of damage initiation and progression in carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) stay cables subject to largescale laboratory tests. The research is part of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), larger project on the design and construction of a new cable-stayed bridge made of advanced composites. No previous use of AE on large-size CFRP stay cables appears in the literature. Three types of cables of potential use in the UCSD composite bridge were tested at lengths ranging from 5500 mm to 5870 mm. The AE events were monitored to detect damage and provide a qualitative correlation with the type of structural failure. The tests allowed a comparative characterization of the failure behavior of the three types of cables under investigation. An additional study was performed to characterize acoustic attenuation and dispersion phenomena that are relevant to AE testing of largescale CFRP cables. It is shown that despite their large size, these cables are excellent acoustic wave guides exhibiting very low attenuation. Finally, this study shows promising results for an effective use of in situ AE for health monitoring of these structural components in service.

温度变化对端部激励斜拉索共振响应影响

基于增量热场理论,利用Hamilton变分原理,通过引入与张拉力和垂度相关的无量纲参数,建立了考虑温度变化影响下斜拉索非线性动力学模型,并推导其面内/外非线性运动微分方程。考虑斜拉索受端部激励,利用Galerkin法得到离散后的无穷维常微分方程组。面内和面外运动各取前两阶模态,向前和向后扫频,利用龙格-库塔法数值积分求解常微分方程组,得到共振区域的幅频响应曲线。算例分析表明,温度变化和斜拉索固有频率呈反比例关系;温度变化会导致斜拉索共振特性发生定性和定量的改变,如共振区间发生漂移、跳跃点位置发生移动、共振响应幅值发生改变;端部位移激励下,温度变化有可能导致斜拉索更多模态受到激发,从而影响各阶模态的能量以及模态间的能量传递。     

Nonlinear transient response of stay cable with viscoelasticity damper in cable-stayed bridge

Taking the bending stiffness, static sag, and geometric non-linearity into consideration, the space nonlinear vibration partial differential equations were derived. The partical differential equations were discretized in space by finite center difference approximation, then the nonlinear ordinal differential equations were obtained. A hybrid method involving the combination of the Newmark method and the pseudo-force strategy was proposed to analyze the nonlinear transient response of the inclined cable-dampers system subjected to arbitrary dynamic loading. As an example, two typical stay cables were calculated by the present method. The results reveal both the validity and the deficiency of the viscoelasticity damper for vibration control of stay cables. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method is also verified by comparing the results with those obtained by using Runge-Kutta direct integration technique. A new time history analysis method is provided for the research on the stay cable vibration control.
