The Impact

Based on experiments and finite element analysis, the impact resistance of metal flexible net was studied, which can provide reference for the application of metal flexible net in rock fall protection. The oblique (30 degrees) impact experiment of metal flexible net was carried out, the corresponding finite element (FE) to the experiment was established, and the FE model was verified by simulation results to the experimental tests from three aspects: the deformation characteristics of metal flexible net, the time history curves of impact force on supporting ropes, and the maximum instantaneous impact force on supporting ropes. The FE models of metal flexible nets with inclination angles of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees were established, and the impact resistance of metal flexible nets with different inclination angles was analyzed. The research shows that the metal flexible net with proper inclination can bounce the impact rock fall out of the safe area and prevent rock fall falling on the metal flexible net, thus realizing the self-cleaning function. When the inclination angle of the metal flexible net is 15, 30, and 45 degrees, respectively, the bounce effect after impact is better, the remaining height is improved, the protection width is improved obviously, and the impact force is reduced. Herein, the impact force of rock fall decreases most obviously at 45 degrees inclination, and the protective performance is relatively good.

Novel Design

A novel design of compliant slider crank mechanism is introduced and utilized as an impact force generator and contact force generator. This class of compliant slider mechanisms incorporates an elastic coupler which is an initially straight flexible beam and buckles when it hits the stopper. The elastic pin-pin coupler (a buckling beam) behaves as a rigid body prior to the impact pushing the rigid slider. At a certain crank angle the slider hits a stopper generating an impact force. Impact force can be changed by changing the angular velocity of the crank, therefore; achieving a desired velocity of the slider. Moreover, after the impact when the vibrations die out the maximum contact force can also be predetermined by designing the coupler dimensions (length, width, thickness and the amount of compression). Contact duration (crank angle) can also be changed and adjusted in this mechanism by changing the adjustable location of the impacted object.

Abstract Resistance spot welding (RSW) of aluminum–aluminum (Al–Al) is known to be very challenging, with the asymmetric growth of the weld nugget often observed. In this article, a semicoupled electrical–thermal–mechanical finite element analysis (FEA) procedure was established to simulate the RSW of two layers of AA6022-T4 sheets using a specially designed Multi-Ring Domed (MRD) electrodes. Critical to the modeling procedure was the thermoelectric (including the Peltier, Thomson, and Seebeck effects) analyses to simulate the asymmetric nugget growth in the welding stage. Key input parameters such as the Seebeck coefficients and high-temperature flow stress curves were measured. Simulation results, experimentally validated, indicated that the newly developed procedure could successfully predict the asymmetric weld nugget growth. Simulation results also showed the Seebeck effect in the holding stage. The simulations represent the first quantitative investigation of the impact of the thermoelectric effects on resistance spot welding.

Finite element model of both the single-layer Schwedler reticulated dome with the span of 50m and a Cuboid impactor were developed, incorporating ANSYS/LS-DYNA. PLASTIC_KINEMATIC (MAT_003) material model which takes stain rate into account was used to simulate steel under impact load. The automatic point to surface contact (NODES TO SURFACE) was applied between the dome and impact block. Three stages of time history curve of the impact force on the apex of the single-layer Scheduler reticulated dome including the impact stage, stable stalemate stage, the decaying stage were generalized according to its dynamic response. It must be pointed out that the peak of the impact force of the single-layer reticulated dome increase with the increase of the weight and the velocity of the impact block, but the change of the velocity of the impact block is more sensitive than the change of weight of the impact block for the effect of the peak of the impact force, and a platform value of the impact force of the single-layer reticulated dome change near a certain value, and the duration time of the impact gradually increase. Then four stages of time history curve of the impact displacement were proposed according to the dynamic response of impact on the apex of the single-layer reticulated dome based on numerical analysis. Four stages include in elastic deformation stage, plastic deformation stage, elastic rebound stage, free vibration stage in the position of the residual deformation.

t is focused on a super high-rise building structure, of which the concrete compressive strength is reduced in joint core. The whole structure is calculated with program SATWE. Based on this calculation, integral stress analysis by MIDAS when concrete strength is reduced in joint core area and nonlinear finite element analysis by ANSYS on the joints of the worst cross-sections in the whole structure are developed. Thus the adverse effect of reduced concrete strength in joint core area on super high-rise structures is found out.

Terrorist attacks became a major threat to the safety, security, and economy of our nation in the last few years. The Attacks against important facilities could have different techniques; however the main source of ground attacks is the application of excessive amount of energy to the designated facility through a vehicle intrusion and/or a blast. In the current research, a new approach of using steel-structure barriers is presented. Several new structural anti-ramming barriers are designed and analyzed using nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In this new design, commercial steel-structural components were used in order to reduce the manufacturing cost. These new steel-structure security devices have proven an excellent capability to sustain severe impacts by spreading substantial amount of the impact energy throughout the entire structure and the supporting soil/concrete. In the current research, three anti-ramming bollard systems, for K4, K8 and K12 impact conditions, were presented. The bollard systems were made of commercial steel unites connected together to produce the entire bollard structure. The FE modeling and simulation results of the bollard systems were presented in details in this paper. The FEA for the K4 bollard was validated by comparing the simulation results with the actual test results. The FE simulation results correlated very well with the actual test results. The steel-structure barriers could have much less shallow foundation to account for the in-city utility restrictions. It also has the advantage of easier and faster installation minimizing the required digging and installation time inside the city. The design could also be modified to account for different threat levels and different sites’ restrictions.

The Impact

To precisely evaluate the retrofitting effectiveness of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) sheets on the impact response of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams, a non-linear finite element model was developed to simulate the structural response of T-beams with CFRP under impact loads. The numerical model was firstly verified by comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental data, i.e., impact force, reaction force, and mid-span displacement. The strengthening effect of CFRP was analyzed from the section damage evaluation. Then the impact force, mid-span displacement, and failure mode of CFRP-strengthened RC T-beams were studied in comparison with those of un-strengthened T-beams. In addition, the influence of the impact resistance of T-beams strengthened with FRP was investigated in terms of CFRP strengthening mode, CFRP strengthening sizes, CFRP layers and FRP material types. The numerical simulation results indicate that the overall stiffness of the T-beams was improved significantly due to external CFRP strips. Compared with the un-strengthened beam, the maximum mid-span displacement of the CFRP-strengthened beam was reduced by 7.9%. Additionally, the sectional damage factors of the whole span of the CFRP-strengthened beam were reduced to less than 0.3, indicating that the impact resistance of the T-beams was effectively enhanced.
