This paper presents a numerical investigation on the nonlinear dynamic response of multilayer functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) beam with open edge cracks in thermal environment. It is assumed that graphene platelets (GPLs) in each GPLRC layer are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented with its concentration varying layer-wise along the thickness direction. The effective material properties of each GPLRC layer are predicted by Halpin-Tsai micromechanics-based model. Finite element method is employed to calculate the dynamic response of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam. It is found that the maximum dynamic deformation of the cracked FG-GPLRC beam under dynamic loading is quite sensitive to the crack location and grows with an increase in the crack depth ratio (CDR) and temperature rise. The influences of GPL distribution, concentration, geometry as well as the boundary conditions on the dynamic response characteristics of cracked FG-X-GPLRC beams are also investigated comprehensively.

The finite element method is used to study the free vibration of packets of blades. A packet of six shrouded blades is analyzed, only the tangential vibrations being considered. Results are obtained to establish the effect of certain parameters such as stiffness ratio, mass ratio, the number of blades in the packet, the effect of rotation and the position of the lacing wires. The dynamic response of a packet to periodic loading is also studied. The cases of engine order harmonic excitation and partial admission of gas are considered with reference to a packet of six shrouded blades.

The nonlinear dynamic response of jacket-type offshore platform (which has been installed in Persian Gulf) under simultaneously wave and earthquake loads is conducted. The interaction between soil and piles is modeled by Konagai-Nogami model. The structure is modeled by finite element method. The analyses include models with the longitudinal component of earthquake and wave in the same direction and in different directions. The results indicate that when the longitudinal component of earthquake and wave are in the same direction, wave may reduce the response of studied platform and when they are in different directions, in some cases there is an increase in the response of platform.

There are complex nonlinear behaviors and mechanisms in the bolted joint interface. Thus, the bolted joint is crucial to the complex nonlinear dynamic response of the structure. However, in the traditional structural dynamic analysis, the screw connection is usually neglected, which makes it challenging to analyze and study the nonlinear dynamic behavior of bolted structures. Hence, based on the Timoshenko beam theory and finite element method, this paper introduces a model considering thread connection to analyze the dynamic response under different excitation. Eventually, the results indicate that owing to the local nonlinearity of bolts, the whole bolted cantilever beam shows hardening-type characteristics. In addition, the frequency response curve also depicts the typical nonlinear phenomenon of instability and uncertainty, namely bifurcation, which preliminarily verifies the correctness and accuracy of the bolted cantilever beam model.
