Abstract A numerical model for the dynamic analysis of a rotationally periodic structure under rotation subjected to non-stationary excitation system of forces is presented on the basis of principles of finite elements and cyclic symmetry. Based on this model, the transient response characteristics of a representative practical bladed disk system during run-up subjected to nozzle-excitation are studied taking into account many important practical aspects of the problem. Some fundamental effects concerning the response maxima and resonance shift of these responses with respect to the cantilever blade response, angular acceleration and the order of excitation are discussed.

Flow Features

In this paper, a deterministic stress decomposition is applied over the numerical three-dimensional flow solution available for a single volute centrifugal pump. The numerical model has proven in previous publications its robustness to obtain the impeller to volute-tongue flow interaction, and it is now used as starting point for the current research. The main objective has been oriented toward a detailed analysis of the lack of uniformity in the flow that the volute tongue promotes on the blade-to-blade axisymmetric pattern. Through this analysis, the fluctuation field may be retrieved and main interaction sources have been pinpointed. The results obtained with the deterministic analysis become of paramount interest to understand the different flow features found in a typical centrifugal pump as a function of the flow rate. Moreover, this postprocessing tool provides an economic and easy procedure for designers to compare the different deterministic terms, also giving relevant information on the unresolved turbulence intensity scales. Complementarily, a way to model the turbulent effects in a systematic way is also presented, comparing their impact on the performance with respect to deterministic sources in a useful framework, that may be applied for similar kinds of pumps.

Load Redistribution

The objective of this article is to present the results obtained in a study on the interaction between the behavior of the structure and the foundation settlements and verify the influence of normal load distribution on the columns. In this mechanism, known as structure soil interaction (SSI), as the building is constructed, a transfer of loads occurs from the columns which tend to settle more to those that tend to settle less. The study was conducted in a building which had its settlements monitored from the beginning of construction. For this purpose, a linear tridimensional numerical model was constructed and numerical analysis was performed, using the finite elements method. In these analyses, numerical models corre- sponding to the execution of each floor were used, considering the settlements measured in each stage of the construction. The results of analy- ses showed that the effect of SSI are significant for calculating the normal efforts on the columns, particularly on those located in the first floors.

Run Up

The run-up of non-breaking and breaking solitary waves on a uniform plane beach connected to a constant-depth wave tank was investigated experimentally and numerically. If only the general characteristics of the run-up process and the maximum run-up are of interest, for the case of a breaking wave the post-breaking condition can be simplified and represented as a propagating bore. A numerical model using this bore structure to treat the process of wave breaking and subsequent shoreward propagation was developed. The nonlinear shallow water equations (NLSW) were solved using the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) shock capturing scheme employed in gas dynamics. Wave breaking and post-breaking propagation are handled automatically by this scheme and ad hoc terms are not required. A computational domain mapping technique was used to model the shoreline movement. This numerical scheme was found to provide a relatively simple and reasonably good prediction of various aspects of the run-up process. The energy dissipation associated with wave breaking of solitary wave run-up (excluding the effects of bottom friction) was also estimated using the results from the numerical model.

A novel cellular mechanical metamaterial called Fish Cells that exhibits zero Poisson’s ratio in both orthogonal in-plane directions is proposed. Homogenization study on the Fish Cells tessellation is conducted and substantially zero Poisson’s ratio behavior in a homogenized tessellation is shown by numerical analysis. Experimental investigations are performed to validate the zero Poisson’s ratio feature of the metamaterial and obtain force–displacement response of the metamaterial in elastic and plastic zone. A detailed discussion about the effect of the numerical model approach and joints on the structural response of the metamaterial is presented. Morphing skin is a potential application for Fish Cells metamaterial because of the integration benefits of zero Poisson’s ratio design. The structural integrity of the Fish Cells is investigated by studying the stiffness augmentation under tension and in presence of constraints on transverse edges. Finally, geometrical enhancements for improved integrity of the Fish Cells are presented that result in substantially zero stiffness augmentation required for morphing skins.

Reduced order models have been reported in the literature that can be used to predict the harmonic response of mistuned bladed disks. It has been shown that in many cases they exhibit structural fidelity comparable to a finite element analysis of the full bladed disk system while offering a significant improvement in computational efficiency. In these models the blades and disk are treated as distinct substructures. This paper presents a new, simpler approach for developing reduced order models in which the modes of the mistuned system are represented in terms of a sub-set of nominal system modes. It has the following attributes: the input requirements are relatively easy to generate; it accurately predicts mistuning effects in regions where frequency veering occurs; as the number of degrees of freedom increases it converges to the exact solution; it accurately predicts stresses as well as displacements; and it accurately models the deformation and stresses at the blades’ bases.

Abstract The paper deals with a numerical model to investigate the influence of stress state on damage and failure in the ductile steel X5CrNi18-10. The numerical analysis is based on an anisotropic continuum damage model taking into account yield and damage criteria as well as evolution equations for plastic and damage strain rate tensors. Results of numerical simulations of biaxial experiments with the X0- and the H-specimen presented. In the experiments, formation of strain fields are monitored by digital image correlation which can be compared with numerically predicted ones to validate the numerical model. Based on the numerical analysis the strain and stress quantities in selected parts of the specimens are predicted. Analysis of damage strain variables enables prediction of fracture lines observed in the tests. Stress measures are used to explain different stress-state-dependent damage and failure mechanisms on the micro-level visualized on fracture surfaces by scanning electron microscopy.

In South Korea, the construction of new multi-unit residential structures has been continuously increasing in order to accommodate multiple households in single structures. However, the presence of walls and floors shared with neighbors makes these structures exceptionally vulnerable to floor noise transmission when the noise of everyday life occurs. In particular, South Korea has many social problems associated with such floor noise, which require the utmost attention and immediate resolution. In this study, a 17-story structure was selected as a test structure. Field measurements were carried out. A numerical model for the 17-story structure was developed in order to perform a vibro-acoustic analysis. The validation of the numerical model comparing with the field measurement data results shows a good agreement. Finally, it is concluded that numerical analysis can be applied to resolve floor noise problems arising in multi-unit residential structures.
