In the static analysis of beam-column systems using matrix methods, polynomials are using as the shape functions. The transverse deflections along the beam axis, including the axial- flexural effects in the beam-column element, are not adequately described by polynomials. As an alternative method, the element stiffness matrix is modeling using stability parameters. The shape functions which are obtaining using the stability parameters are more compatible with the system’s behavior. A mass matrix used in the dynamic analysis is evaluated using the same shape functions as those used for derivations of the stiffness coefficients and is called a consistent mass matrix. In this study, the stiffness and consistent mass matrices for prismatic three-dimensional Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beam-columns are proposed with consideration for the axial-flexural interactions and shear deformations associated with transverse deflections along the beam axis. The second-order effects, critical buckling loads, and eigenvalues are determined. According to the author’s knowledge, this study is the first report of the derivations of consistent mass matrices of Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beam-columns under the effect of axially compressive or tensile force.

The PU (partition-of-unity) based FE-RPIM QUAD4 (4-node quadrilateral) element was proposed for statics problems. In this element, hybrid shape functions are constructed through multiplying QUAD4 shape function with radial point interpolation method (RPIM). In the present work, the FE-RPIM QUAD4 element is further applied for structural dynamics. Numerical examples regarding to free and forced vibration analyses are presented. The numerical results show that: (1) If CMM (consistent mass matrix) is employed, the FE-RPIM QUAD4 element has better performance than QUAD4 element under both regular and distorted meshes; (2) The DLMM (diagonally lumped mass matrix) can supersede the CMM in the context of the FE-RPIM QUAD4 element even for the scheme of implicit time integration.

In this paper, representation of the effects of incompressible fluid on the dynamic response of parallel beams in fluid-filled containers is developed using the concept of hydrodynamic mass. Using a two-step process, first the hydrodynamic mass matrix per unit (beam) length is derived using finite element methods with a thermal analogy. Second, this mass matrix is distributed in a consistent mass fashion along the beam lengths in a manner that accommodates three-dimensional beam bending plus torsion. The technique is illustrated by application to analysis of an experiment involving vibration of an array of four tubes in a fluid-filled cylinder.

The dynamic processes in the rocket fairing when the pyrotechnic separation system is triggered are considered. The fairing construction is mixed and includes composite and metal elements. The main composite construction element is a fiberglass shell with regular and irregular winding zones. The speed acceleration required to separate the fairing occurs under the action of impulse pressure from the powder gases in the pyrotechnic system. The displacement of the fairing is made up of displacements of the movement as a rigid whole along its axis and vibrations caused by deformations. The calculation of the fairing movement is carried out according to a three-dimensional FEM model using software that uses a topologically regular discretization system. The problem solution in time is performed according to the implicit Wilson finite-difference scheme. When studying the fairing dynamics, it is allowed to break the structure of the shell in the form of lamination, which in the FEM scheme is modeled by a special method. A cut with double nodes is created on the surface of the proposed lamination along topological planes by transforming the finite element mesh. Modification of the stiffness matrix and mass matrix for the transformed mesh is performed based on the created information base of degenerate finite elements and formalized matrix operations. In numerical studies, two types of lamination from irregular zones of fiberglass winding are considered – the internal location from the flange and edge location with access to the fairing free edge. The results of calculating vibrations along the sides of lamination and data on the redistribution of dynamic stresses due to lamination are presented. Radial and axial displacements when passing through the lamination surface discontinue, the magnitude of which for internal lamination is much less, which is explained by the compression of deformation for this case, in contrast to the lamination that goes to the boundary. When estimating the relative axial displacements, the component of the displacement of a rigid whole, determined by a separate calculation, was excluded. The maximum radial displacements during lamination from the edge reach 3 mm, which is one and a half times higher than for an undamaged shell. Axial stresses are maximal from the action of inertial forces during acceleration. Its redistribution over the layers is significantly greater for the edge lamination, for which the maximum values increase almost two times concerning the undamaged shell, which determines this type of lamination as more dangerous.

The dynamic behavior of a nonintegral riser bundle is studied parametrically. The dynamics of each component-riser is analyzed by a three-dimensional, nonlinear, large deflection, small strain model with coupled bending and torsion. Component-risers are slender, thin-walled, extensible or inextensible tubular beam-columns, subject to response and deformation dependent hydrodynamic loads. The con-nector equations of equilibrium are used to derive the connector forces and moments. Substructuring can thus be achieved even though in three dimensions connectors do not impose linearly dependent deflections at substructure interfaces. The developed time incremental and iterative finite-element computer code is used to analyze the effects of water depth, distribution of connectors, distance between component risers and number of finite elements in the numerical model. The problem of total CPU (central processor unit) time and the advantages of substructuring are discussed by running cases of up to 1094 degrees of freedom.

Free vibration and buckling of pre-twisted beams exhibit interesting coupling phenomena between compression, shears, moments and torque and have been the subject of extensive research due to their importance as models of wind turbines and helicopter rotor blades. The paper investigates the influence of axial compression and torque on the natural vibration of pre-twisted straight beam based on the Euler-Bernoulli theory. The derivation begins with the three-dimensional Green strain tensor. The nonlinear part of the strain tensor is expressed as a product of displacement gradient to derive the strain energy due to initial stresses. The Frenet formulae in differential geometry are employed to treat the pre-twist. The strain energy due to elasticity and the linear kinetic energy are obtained in classical sense. From the variational principle, the governing equations and the associated natural boundary conditions are derived. To the best knowledge of the author, the buckling of pre-twisted beam due to initial torque has not been studied in details. The major contribution of the paper is in the consideration of the influence of initial stresses caused by initial shears, moments and torques for pre-twisted beam-columns by means of the Frenet formulae and second order strains. A number of numerical examples are given. Some particular cases are compared with existing results. It is noted that the first mode increases together with the rate of twist but the second decreases seeming to close the first two modes together. The gaps close monotonically as the rate of twist increases for natural frequencies and buckling compressions.

This paper focuses on the development and validation of a pseudo-spectral numerical scheme, based on a variational formulation, for the solution of the three-dimensional, time-dependent governing equations in wall bounded forced and natural convective flows. One of the novel aspects of this numerical scheme is the use of rescaled Legendre-Lagrangian interpolants to represent the velocity and temperature in the vertical direction. These interpolants were obtained by dividing the Legendre Lagrangian interpolants of same order by the square root of the corresponding weight used for Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. By rescaling the interpolants in such a manner, the mass matrix resulting from the variational formulation becomes the identity matrix, thus simplifying the numerical algorithm. Two specific problems have been investigated as part of the validation process: Steady and unsteady channel flow driven by an external streamwise oscillating pressure gradient and Rayleigh Be´nard convection. In all cases, comparison with exact solutions and published results yield excellent agreement.
