The finite-element time-dependent deflection and stress responses of the shallow composite panels subjected to variable mechanical loadings (uniformly distributed load and sinusoidally distributed load) are reported in this article. The study reveals the influence of the advanced fibre hybridization (glass–carbon–kevlar) on the dynamic responses and establishes the accuracy of the numerical responses by comparing them with the experimental values. The numerical steady-state deflections of the hybrid composite structure are evaluated using a generic mathematical model derived through Reddy's third-order shear deformation in conjunction with the finite-element technique and Newmark's time integration scheme. The experimentally evaluated mechanical properties of the fabricated composites are utilized in the computations. The validity of the computed solutions is ascertained with in-house experimental (transient deflection) results. Besides, the numerical model is extended to assess the parametric dependence (aspect ratio, thickness ratio, curvature ratio, geometry, hybrid schemes and support conditions) of the dynamic deflection/stress responses of hybrid composite shallow shell panels subjected to variable mechanical loading types.

Analysis of transonic flow through a cascade of airfoils is investigated using the finite element method. Development of a computational grid suitable for complex flow structures and different types of boundary conditions is presented. An efficient pseudo-time integration scheme is developed for the solution of equations. Modeling of the shock and the convergence characteristics of the developed scheme are discussed. Numerical results include a 45 deg staggered cascade of NACA 0012 airfoils with inlet flow Mach number of 0.8 and angles of attack 1, 0, and −1 deg.

This paper presents an improved methodology for evaluating the dynamic responses of shipping casks subjected to the sequential HAC impact loads. The methodology utilizes the import technique of the finite-element mesh and the analytical results form one dynamic analysis using explicit numerical integration scheme into another dynamic analysis also using explicit numerical integration scheme. The new methodology presented herein has several advantages over conventional methods. An example problem is analyzed to illustrate the application of the present methodology in evaluating the structural responses of a shipping cask to the sequential HAC loading.

Abstract 1D impact between two identical bars is modeled as a simple spring-mass system as would be generated by a finite element discretization. Some commonly used time integrators are applied to the system to demonstrate defects in the numerical solution as compared to the exact analytical solution. Using energy conservation as the criterion for stability, a new time integration scheme is proposed that imposes a persistency condition for dynamic contact. Finite element simulation with Lagrange multipliers for enforcing the contact constraints shows exact energy and momentum conservation.

An enrichment technique for accurately modeling two dimensional crack propagation within the framework of the finite element method is presented. The technique uses an enriched basis that spans the asymptotic dynamic crack-tip solution. The enrichment functions and their spatial derivatives are able to exactly reproduce the asymptotic displacement field and strain field for a moving crack. The stress intensity factors for Mode I and Mode II are taken as additional degrees of freedom. An explicit time integration scheme is used to solve the resulting discrete equations. Numerical simulations of linear elastodynamic problems are reported to demonstrate the accuracy and potential of the technique.

The move from conceptual design, through fabrication to observation and measurement on the resulting physical structure is fraught with uncertainty. This, together with the necessary simplifications inherent when using the finite element technique, makes the development of a predictive model for the physical structure sufficiently approximate that the use of random structural models is often to be preferred. In this paper, the random uncertainties of the mass, damping and stiffness matrices in a finite element model are replaced by random matrices, and a highly efficient pseudo excitation method for the dynamic response analysis of non-parametric probability systems subjected to stationary random loads is developed. A numerical example shows that the dynamic responses calculated using a conventional (mean) finite element model may be quite different from those based on a random matrix model. For precise fabrication, the uncertainties of models cannot be ignored and the proposed method should be useful in the analysis of such problems.

The 3D problem of wood deformation under shock loading is considered. The governing system of equations is formulated in Lagrange variables. A defining system of equations in a three-dimensional formulation is presented. The equation of motion is derived from the balance of the virtual powers of work. Wood is modeled as a unidirectionally reinforced material with a description of the descending branch of the deformation diagram. Deformations and stresses are determined in a local basis, the position of which in space is related to the direction of the wood grain. Wood material is represented as a combination of reinforcing fibers and a matrix, the elastoplastic deformation of which is described by the relations of the theory of flow with combined kinematic and isotropic strengthening. The deformation characteristics of the matrix and fibers are determined on the basis of a computational and experimental study of the mechanical properties of wood along and across the fibers. In numerical simulation, the moment scheme of the finite element method and an explicit time integration scheme of the “cross” type are used. Discretization of the computational domain is based on an eight-node isoparametric finite element adapted to the specifics of the problem under consideration. Software realization of the developed mathematical model and numerical methodology is implemented within the computing complex “Dynamics-3”. Computer simulation of compression of an experimental specimen of spruce along and across the fibers has been performed. The reliability of the calculation results is confirmed by good agreement with the experimental data.

Abstract The coupled dynamic response of two cooperating robots handling two flexible payloads for the purpose of fixtureless assembly and manufacturing is treated using a new algorithm. In this algorithm, the equations describing the dynamics of the system are obtained using Lagrange’s method for the rigid robot links and the finite element method for the flexible payloads. A new time integration scheme is developed to treat the coupled equations of motion of the rigid links for a given displacement of the flexible payloads. The finite element equations of the flexible payloads are then treated using an implicit approach. The new algorithm was verified using simplified examples and was later used to examine the dynamic response of two cooperating robot arms manipulating flexible payloads which are typical of the automotive industry.

This paper presents a detailed finite element analysis of a five-layer unbonded flexible riser. The numerical results are compared analytical solutions for various load cases. In the finite element model all layers are modelled separately with contact interfaces placed between each layer. The finite element model includes the main features of the riser geometry with very little simplifying assumptions made. The numerical model was solved using a fully explicit time-integration scheme implemented in a parallel environment on a 16-processor cluster. The very good agreement found from numerical and analytical comparisons validates the use of our numerical model to provide benchmark solutions against which further detailed investigation will be made.

The study of interactions through direct contact between bladetips and outer casings in modern turbomachines may be very time-consuming when the classical finite element method is used. The construction of reduced-order models using component mode synthesis (CMS) methods generally allows for dramatic increase in computational efficiency and may be used in order to improve the knowledge over these interaction phenomena. Among the available approaches, both a fixed-interface method and a free-interface method are considered here in an original manner to reduce the size of a realistic two-dimensional model. The equations of motion are solved using an explicit time integration scheme with the Lagrange multiplier method where friction is accounted for. This method offers energy momentum conserving which is a critical point to ensure the convergence of the algorithm. Moreover, it is shown that even in a non-linear framework the reduced-order models converge to the finite element solution as the number of modes included in the models increases. Considering the fixed-interface method of Craig-Bampton (CB) and the free-interface method of Craig-Chang-Martinez (CCM), it is shown that a method with fast displacement convergence may be less efficient in terms of motion convergence.
