This paper aims at directly modeling the transfer functions of mass-spring-damper systems. Using complex stiffness of mass, spring, and damper elements and equivalent complex stiffness of these elements in series and/or in parallel, the transfer functions of the mass-spring-damper systems are modeled quickly. This is very convenient to the modeling of the complicated mechanical systems.

Abstract In this paper, A 3-D elasto-plastic contact problem in bearings is studied by Finite Element Method (FEM). A computer program has been developed for this purpose. A trial-error method is employed to cope with the geometrical nonlinearity and a tangential stiffness method is employed to tackle the material nonlinearity appeared in elasto-plastic contact problems. A frictionless contact problem of roller bearings is analysed, the result reveals that in 3-D elasto-plastic state the trend of the contact surface pressure distribution is similar to Hertz problem’s but flater.

New-type floor is composed of three kinds of slabs joined together through fittings. It is a kind of anisotropic two-way slab. In order to study the calculation method of natural frequency, series method, variable thickness method and variable stiffness method are adopted to calculate the natural frequency. The calculation results of three methods are compared with test result and numerical simulation result. The conclusion is that the calculation result of the variable stiffness method is the closest to the real natural frequency of new-type floor.
