This work presents a brief review of the literature on the theory and technique of computation of pivotally-connected structures on a linearly-elastic foundation. The authors refer to the works of B.G.Korenev, G.Ya.Popov, I.A.Simvulidi, R.V.Serebryany and A.G.Yuryev, in which investigations for calculating the pivotally-connected beams and slabs on an elastic foundation are performed using different approaches. From the analysis of the scientific and normative literature on the subject under consideration, a conclusion can be made that there is no common approach to solution of this problem, which would hold for any pivotally connected structures being in contact with any elastic foundation model under the action of an arbitrary external load. Besides, when designing the load carrying members of pavements of motor roads of various purposes in the Republic of Belarus, a number of branch-specific normative documents, where the pavements with the load carrying member and interconnection of members over the track length are considered separately in unconnected setting, is used. In this work, a universal approach for computation of pivotally-connected beams on an elastic foundation in the linear setting and taking into account the physical nonlinearity of the beam material is proposed. This approach is based on a mixed method of structural mechanics and implemented in different foundations taking into account the Zhemochkins relations for the functions of influences of an elastic medium. The following hypotheses and assumptions of the linear theory of elasticity and structural mechanics are taken into consideration: only normal stresses act at the contact of the beam with the foundation for beams the hypotheses of the flexural theory the pivot joints are cylindrical and the distribution of the contact stresses over the beam width is uniform. The physical nonlinearity of the beam material is taken into consideration through the variable rigidity of the Zhemochkins areas. Namely: after determining the forces in the Zhemochkins bonds at the contact of every beam with an elastic foundation as a result of the linear computation, the values of bending moments in each section of every beam are determined by the structural mechanics methods. From the calculated values of the moments, the tangential rigidity for each Zhemochkins area on the beam is determined using the formula of the moment-curvature dependence for the beam sections are determines as hyperbolic tangent. In the results of nonlinear computation, the stress-strain behaviour of the system of pivotally-connected beams on an elastic foundation is investigated as it was made earlier in the linear setting: distribution of contact stresses under the beams, internal forces in the beams and pivot joints as well as elastic foundation settlements. The proposed approach is implemented numerically with the use of the Mathematica 10.4 mathematical package. The computation example for three pivotally-connected beams on the Winkler foundation taking into account their physical nonlinearity.В работе приводится краткий обзор литературы по теории и методикам расчета шарнирно-соединенных конструкций на линейно-упругом основании. Авторы ссылаются на работы Б. Г. Коренева, Г. Я. Попова, И. А. Симвулиди, Р. В. Серебряного, А. Г. Юрьева, в которых различными подходами проведены исследования по расчету шарнирно-соединенных балок и плит на упругом основании. Из анализа научной и нормативной литературы по рассматриваемой тематике можно сделать вывод об отсутствии общего подхода к решению этой проблемы, справедливого для любых шарнирно-соединенных конструкций, контактирующих с любой моделью упругого основания под действием произвольной внешней нагрузки. Кроме того, при проектировании несущих элементов дорожных покрытий автомобильных дорог различного назначения в Республике Беларусь используется ряд отраслевых нормативных документов, в которых дорожная одежда с несущим элементом и соединение элементов между собой по длине трассы рассматриваются отдельно, в несвязной постановке. В данной работе предлагается универсальный подход для расчета шарнирно-соединенных балок на упругом основании в линейной постановке и с учетом физической нелинейности материала балок. Этот подход основан на смешанном методе строительной механики и реализуется в разных основаниях с учетом соотношений Жемочкина для функций влияний упругой среды. В расчет принимаются следующие гипотезы и допущения линейной теории упругости и строительной механики: на контакте балки с основанием действуют только нормальные напряжения, для балок справедливы гипотезы теории изгиба, шарниры между балками являются цилиндрическими, распределение контактных напряжений по ширине балок равномерное. Физическая нелинейность материала балок в предлагаемом расчете учитывается через переменную жесткость участков Жемочкина. А именно: после определения усилий в связях Жемочкина на контакте каждой балки с упругим основанием в результате линейного расчета, методами строительной механики определяются величины изгибающих моментов в каждом сечении каждой балки. По вычисленным значениям моментов определяется касательная жесткость для каждого участка Жемочкина на балках по формуле зависимости момент-кривизна для сечений балки в виде гиперболического тангенса. В результатах нелинейного расчета, как и ранее в линейной постановке, исследуется напряженно-деформированное состояние системы из шарнирно-соединенных балок на упругом основании: распределение контактных напряжений под балками, внутренние усилия в балках и шарнирных соединениях, а также осадки упругого основания. Численная реализация предлагаемого подхода выполнена с использованием математического пакета Mathematica 10.4. Приведен пример расчета для трех шарнирно-соединенных балок на основании Винклера с учетом их физической нелинейности.

The paper provides a brief review of the literature on the theory and methods of calculating hinged-connected or articulated structures on an elastic base. The author refers to the works of B. G. Korenev, G. Ya. Popov, I. A. Simvulidi, R. V. Serebryany, A. G. Yuriev, in which, using various approaches, studies have been carried out to calculate hinged-connected beams and slabs on an elastic base. From the analysis of  scientific literature on the topic under consideration, it can be concluded that there is no general approach to solving this problem, which is valid for any hinged-connected beams and plates lying on any model of an elastic base under the action of an arbitrary external load.  In addition, a similar problem for this type of engineering calculations is observed in the normative documents. In the Republic of Belarus, a number of industry documents have been used to calculate pavement bearing elements for various highways and track transverse structures, in which road pavements with a load-bearing element and the connection of elements between themselves (hinged or rigid) are considered in an incoherent formulation. The paper proposes a universal approach for calculating hinged-connected beams on an elastic foundation, based on the mixed method of structural mechanics, taking into account the Zhemochkin ratios for functions of the elastic medium effects. The following hypotheses and assumptions are taken into account: only normal stresses act on  the  contact  of  the  beam  with the base, hypotheses  of  the bending  theory are valid  for beams,  hinges  between  the beams are cylindrical, and the distribution of contact stresses along the width of the beams is uniform. As a result of the proposed calculation, the stress-strain state of a system of hinged-connected beams on an elastic foundation has been investigated, namely: distribution of contact stresses under beams, internal forces in the beams and hinged joints, as well as settlements of the elastic foundation under them. The numerical implementation of this approach has been performed using the mathematical package Mathematica 10.4. Examples of calculation are given for different versions of hinged-connected beams and an elastic base: for three hinged-connected beams based on Winkler and seven – on an elastic half-space.

AbstractIn this study, a peridynamic model is presented for a Mindlin plate resting on a Winkler elastic foundation. In order to achieve static and quasi-static loading conditions, direct solution of the peridynamic equations is utilised by directly assigning inertia terms to zero rather than using widely adapted adaptive dynamic relaxation approach. The formulation is verified by comparing against a finite element solution for transverse loading condition without considering damage and comparing against a previous study for pure bending of a Mindlin plate with a central crack made of polymethyl methacrylate material having negligibly small elastic foundation stiffness. Finally, the fracture behaviour of a pre-cracked Mindlin plate rested on a Winkler foundation subjected to transverse loading representing a floating ice floe interacting with sloping structures. Similar fracture patterns observed in field observations were successfully captured by peridynamics.

An inhomogeneous Kirhhoff plate composed from semi-infinite strip-waveguide and a compaсt resonator which is in contact with the Winkler foundation of small compliance, is considered. It is shown that for any 0, it is possible to find the compliance coefficient O(2) such that the described plate possesses the eigenvalue 4embedded into continuous spectrum. This result is quite surprising because in an acoustic waveguide (the spectral Neumann problem for the Laplace operator) a small eigenvalue does not exist for any unsubstantial perturbation. A reason of this dissension is explained as well.

The plane contact problem on wear of elastic half-plane by a rigid punch has been considered. The punch moves with constant velocity. Arising thermal effects are neglected because the problem is investigated in stationary statement. In this case the crumpling of the nonhomogeneities of the surfaces and abrasion of half-plane take place. Out of the punch the surface of half-plane is free of load. The solution for problem of theory of elasticity is constructed by means of Fourier integral transformation. Contact stresses are found in Fourier series which coefficients satisfy the dual integral equations. It leads to the system of nonlinear algebraical equations for unknown coefficients by a method of collocations. This system is reduced to linear system in the partial most interesting cases for computing of maximum and minimum wear. The iterative scheme is considered for investigation of other nonlinear cases, for initial approximation the mean value of boundary cases is used. The evolutions of contact stresses, wear and abrasion in the time are given. For both last cases increase or invariable of vertical displacement correspondently is obtained. In the boundary cases coincidence of results with known is obtained.

Abstract A finite element model is developed for static, free and forced vibration analyses of a compressed beam resting on a Winkler-type elastic foundation and subjected to transverse loads. The homogeneous solution of the governing differential equation of static equilibrium is used as shape functions when deriving the load vector, the stiffness and mass matrices. For the static case, a procedure is outlined for improving the internal distributions of deflections, rotations, bending moments and shear forces of the structure. In this procedure, exact results are obtained for concentrated, uniform and ramp distributed loads with a minimum number of elements. When considering free vibrations, natural frequencies converge rapidly with increasing numbers of elements, and are shown to agree with results obtained by other analytical methods. The effects of the axial load and elastic foundation on the natural frequencies are also illustrated. For forced vibrations, the Newmark β Method is employed for obtaining the time history response of a beam-column on an elastic foundation subjected to lateral time-dependent excitations and constant axial load.

In this paper, the bending waves propagating along the edge of a semi-infinite Kirchhoff plate resting on a two-parameter Pasternak elastic foundation are studied. Two geometries of the foundation are considered: either it is infinite or it is semi-infinite with the edges of the plate and of the foundation coinciding. Dispersion relations along with phase and group velocity expressions are obtained. It is shown that the semi-infinite foundation setup exhibits a cut-off frequency which is the same as for a Winkler foundation. The phase velocity possesses a minimum which corresponds to the critical velocity of a moving load. The infinite foundation exhibits a cut-off frequency which depends on its relative stiffness and occurs at a nonzero wavenumber, which is in fact hardly observed in elastodynamics. As a result, the associated phase velocity minimum is admissible only up to a limiting value of the stiffness. In the case of a foundation with small stiffness, asymptotic expansions are derived and beam-like one-dimensional equivalent models are deduced accordingly. It is demonstrated that for the infinite foundation the related nonclassical beam-like model comprises a pseudo-differential operator.

The use of pipe flange connections is standardized in the codes of JIS, ASME, DIN and so on. However, these codes are almost entirely dependent on experience, and subsequently some problems concerning pipe flange connections have been encountered. In the present paper, the distribution of contact stresses which governs the sealing performance is analyzed as a three-body contact problem, using an axisymmetrical three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The effects of the stiffness and the thickness of raised face metallic gaskets on the contact stresses and the effective gasket seating width are shown by numerical calculation. Moreover, stresses produced on the hub, the load factor (the relationship between an increment of bolt axial force and an internal pressure), and the maximum stress caused in bolts are analyzed. For verification, experiments are carried out. The analytical results are satisfactorily consistent with the experimental results.
