Transmitting Boundaries

Transmitting boundaries are important for modeling the wave propagation in the finite element analysis of dynamic foundation problems. In this study, viscoelastic boundaries for multiple seismic waves or excitations sources were derived for two-dimensional and three-dimensional conditions in the time domain, which were proved to be solid by finite element models. Then, the method for equivalent forces’ input of seismic waves was also described when the proposed artificial boundaries were applied. Comparisons between numerical calculations and analytical results validate this seismic excitation input method. The seismic response of subway station under different seismic loads input methods indicates that asymmetric input seismic loads would cause different deformations from the symmetric input seismic loads, and whether it would increase or decrease the seismic response depends on the parameters of the specific structure and surrounding soil.

Irregular Structure

More and more irregular structure appears in people's lives, while the theoretical research and disaster experience show that the irregular structure in the earthquake will produce translation and torsion coupled spatial vibration, and sometimes it will cause very serious consequences. Being based on the practical engineering -the Castle Hotel of Dalian, this text makes use of finite element analysis software--- ANSYS. By analyzing the dynamic characteristics and seismic response, we get the self-vibration characteristics of the structure and the time history curve of top level displacement and acceleration of the structure under the effect of earthquake forces. The calculation results indicate that it is effective and reasonable to set up three-dimensional finite element model used for the analyzing of seismic response by ANSYS.

Abstract In the design of a gas turbine airfoil, avoiding resonance at all conditions is impossible. The airfoil may vibrate fiercely during resonant passages, which then may induce small oscillation motion at the disk attachment. Due to microslip at the contact regions, fretting would occur in conjunction with the reduction of material fatigue properties. This paper presents a finite element analysis using the Velocity Perturbation Method (VPM) in predicting airfoil attachment nonlinear fretting-behavior in the time domain at a resonant frequency of interest. Numerical simulation, showing design fretting fatigue characteristics based on fundamental Ruiz and Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) criteria, is demonstrated on two models, simplified and representative. The simplified model was used for detail analysis set-up and basic post-processing while the representative model illustrated the difference in nonlinear contact response of an industrial compressor under bending and torsional modes in the time domain. This Finite Element velocity perturbation approach can be used to study the main factors affecting fretting of any two bodies in contact: load, coefficient of friction, contact geometry and impact of different frequencies or modal shapes in the time domain.

Abstract Finite element analysis presents an opportunity for a detailed study of the dynamic behavior of a rotating tire under real operating conditions providing a better understanding of the influence of tire construction and material detail on tire dynamic behavior in such areas as ride, handling and noise and vibration transmission. Modelling issues that need to be considered include non-linear effects due to tire inflation and hub loading, tire/road contact and time domain solution of the equations of motion. In this paper techniques and strategies for tire rotation modelling are presented and discussed as a guide to the creation of a successful model.

The Time Domain

To determine its actual dynamic responses under the wind loads, modal identification from the field tests was carried out for the Kao Ping Hsi cable-stayed bridge in southern Taiwan. The dynamic characteristics of the bridge identified by a continuous wavelet transform algorithm are compared with those obtained by the finite element analysis. The finite element model was then modified and refined based on the field test results. The results obtained from the updated finite element model were shown to agree well with the field identified results for the first few modes in the vertical, transverse, and torsional directions. This has the indication that a rational finite element model has been established for the bridge. With the refined finite element model, a nonlinear analysis in time domain is employed to determine the buffeting response of the bridge. Through validation of the results against those obtained by the frequency domain approach, it is confirmed that the time domain approach adopted herein is applicable for the buffeting analysis of cable-stayed bridges.
