Avaliação de métodos numéricos de análise linear de estabilidade para perfis de aço formados a frio. / Evaluation of numerical methods for linear stability analysis.Débora Coting Braga 13 May 2015 (has links)
Para o projeto de estruturas com perfis de aço formados a frio, é fundamental a compreensão dos fenômenos da instabilidade local e global, uma vez que estes apresentam alta esbeltez e baixa rigidez à torção. A determinação do carregamento crítico e a identificação do modo de instabilidade contribuem para o entendimento do comportamento dessas estruturas. Este trabalho avalia três metodologias para a análise linear de estabilidade de perfis de aço formados a frio isolados, com o objetivo de determinar os carregamentos críticos elásticos de bifurcação e os modos de instabilidade associados. Estritamente, analisa-se perfis de seção U enrijecido e Z enrijecido isolados, de diversos comprimentos e diferentes condições de vinculação e carregamento. Determinam-se os carregamentos críticos elásticos de bifurcação e os modos de instabilidade globais e locais por meio de: (i) análise com o Método das Faixas Finitas (MFF), através do uso do programa computacional CUFSM; (ii) análise com elementos finitos de barra baseados na Teoria Generalizada de Vigas (MEF-GBT), via uso do programa GBTUL; e (iii) análise com elementos finitos de casca (MEF-cascas) por meio do uso do programa ABAQUS. Algumas restrições e ressalvas com relação ao uso do MFF são apresentadas, assim como limitações da Teoria Generalizada de Viga e precauções a serem tomadas nos modelos de cascas. Analisa-se também a influência do grau de discretização da seção transversal. No entanto, não é feita avaliação em relação aos procedimentos normativos e tampouco análises não lineares, considerando as imperfeições geométricas iniciais, tensões residuais e o comportamento elastoplástico do material. / For the design of cold formed steel members, it is essential to understand the effects of local and global instability, since these members typically have a high slenderness and low torsion stiffness. The determination of critical loads and the associated buckling modes contribute to understand the behavior of these members. This work performs a evaluation of three methods for linear stability analysis of isolated cold-formed steel members in order to determine the elastic critical loads and the corresponding buckling modes. Specifically, Ue and Ze shape members were studied with various length, different boundary conditions and loads. The elastic critical loads and buckling modes are determined by means of: (i) analysis with the Finite Strip Method (FSM), by the computer program CUFSM, (ii) beam finite element analysis based on the Generalized Beam Theory (FEM-GBT), by GBTUL program, and (iii) Finite Element Method with shell analysis using ABAQUS program. Some restrictions and warnings regarding the use of the FSM are presented, as well as limitations of the Generalized Beam Theory and precautions to be taken in the shell models. It is also analyzed the influence of the degree of discretization of the cross section. In the present study, no evaluation was made with respect to normative procedures neither nonlinear analyses considering the initial geometric imperfections, residual stresses and elastoplastic behavior of the material.

Inverse Problems in Free Vibration Analysis of Rotating and Non-Rotating Beams and its Application to Random Eigenvalue CharacterizationSarkar, Korak January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Rotating and non-rotating beams are widely used to model important engineering struc-tures. Hence, the vibration analyses of these beams are an important problem from a structural dynamics point of view. Depending on the beam dimensions, they are mod-eled using different beam theories. In most cases, the governing differential equations of these types of beams do not yield any simple closed-form solutions; hence we look for the inverse problem approach in determining the beam property variations given certain solutions.
The long and slender beams are generally modeled using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Under the premise of this theory, we study (i) the second mode tailoring of non-rotating beams having six different boundary conditions, (ii) closed-form solutions for free vibration analysis of free-free beams, (iii) closed-form solutions for free vibration analysis for gravity-loaded cantilever beams, (iv) closed-form solutions for free vibration analysis of rotating cantilever and pinned-free beams and (v) beams with shared eigen-pair. Short and thick beams are generally modeled using the Timoshenko beam theory. Here, we provide analytical closed-form solutions for the free vibration analysis of ro-tating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beams. The Rayleigh beam provides a marginal improvement over the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory without venturing into the math-ematical complexities of the Timoshenko beam theory. Under this theory, we provide closed-form solutions for the free vibration analysis of cantilever Rayleigh beams under three different axial loading conditions - uniform loading, gravity-loading and centrifu-gally loaded.
We assume simple polynomial mode shapes which satisfy the different boundary conditions of a particular beam, and derive the corresponding beam property variations. In case of the shared eigenpair, we use the mode shape of a uniform beam which has a closed-form solution and use it to derive the stiffness distribution of a corresponding axially loaded beam having same length, mass variation and boundary condition. For the Timoshenko beam, we assume polynomial functions for the bending displacement and the rotation due to bending. The derived properties are demonstrated as benchmark analytical solutions for approximate and numerical methods used for the free vibration analysis of beams. They can also aid in designing actual beams for a pre-specified frequency or nodal locations in some cases. The effect of different parameters in the derived property variations and the bounds on the pre-specified frequencies and nodal locations are also studied for certain cases.
The derived analytical solutions can also serve as a benchmark solution for different statistical simulation tools to find the probabilistic nature of the derived stiffness distri-bution for known probability distributions of the pre-specified frequencies. In presence of uncertainty, this flexural stiffness is treated as a spatial random field. For known probability distributions of the natural frequencies, the corresponding distribution of this field is determined analytically for the rotating cantilever Euler-Bernoulli beams. The derived analytical solutions are also used to derive the coefficient of variation of the stiffness distribution, which is further used to optimize the beam profile to maximize the allowable tolerances during manufacturing.

Design of sandwich structuresPetras, Achilles January 1999 (has links)
Failure modes for sandwich beams of GFRP laminate skins and Nomex honeycomb core are investigated. Theoretical models using honeycomb mechanics and classical beam theory are described. A failure mode map for loading under 3-point bending, is constructed, showing the dependence of failure mode and load on the ratio of skin thickness to span length and honeycomb relative density. Beam specimens are tested in 3-point bending. The effect of honeycomb direction is also examined. The experimental data agree satisfactorily with the theoretical predictions. The results reveal the important role of core shear in a sandwich beam's bending behaviour and the need for a better understanding of indentation failure mechanism. High order sandwich beam theory (HOSBT) is implemented to extract useful information about the way that sandwich beams respond to localised loads under 3-point bending. 'High-order' or localised effects relate to the non-linear patterns of the in-plane and vertical displacements fields of the core through its height resulting from the unequal deformations in the loaded and unloaded skins. The localised effects are examined experimentally by Surface Displacement Analysis of video images recorded during 3-point bending tests. A new parameter based on the intrinsic material and geometric properties of a sandwich beam is introduced to characterise its susceptibility to localised effects. Skin flexural rigidity is shown to play a key role in determining the way that the top skin allows the external load to pass over the core. Furthermore, the contact stress distribution in the interface between the central roller and the top skin, and its importance to an indentation stress analysis, are investigated. To better model the failure in the core under the vicinity of localised loads, an Arcan- type test rig is used to test honeycomb cores under simultaneous compression and shear loading. The experimental measurements show a linear relationship between the out-of-plane compression and shear in honeycomb cores. This is used to derive a failure criterion for applied shear and compression, which is combined with the high order sandwich beam theory to predict failure caused by localised loads in sandwich beams made of GFRP laminate skins and Nomex honeycomb under 3-point bending loading. Short beam tests with three different indenter's size are performed on appropriately prepared specimens. Experiments validate the theoretical approach and reveal the nature of pre- and post-failure behaviour of these sandwich beams. HOSBT is used as a compact computational tool to reconstruct failure mode maps for sandwich panels. Superposition of weight and stiffness contours on these failure maps provide carpet plots for design optimisation procedures.

Static and fatigue design of load carrying welded joints in high strength steels : -In collaboration with Cargotec Sweden ABMumtaz, Noman Ali, Khurshid, Mansoor January 2011 (has links)
This thesis work is carried out in Cargotec Sweden AB, Bromma Conquip to study the behavior of load carrying welded joints in different weld metal strength mismatch conditions and various penetration ratios. Static and fatigue strength calculations have been made using FEA and experimentation. The joint in the Telescopic beam of the spreader STS45 has been analyzed. Telescopic beam is one of the critical and main parts in the spreader, which is directly subjected to the load of containers at various ports. Previous studies show that this joint limits the strength of the spreader, it has thus been analyzed. To check the effect of different strength mismatch conditions in the weld metal, static strength calculations have been carried out. The effect of different penetration ratios on static and fatigue strength has also been studied. A cruciform test specimen is designed according to the joint configuration and the capacity of testing machine. Criteria for the selection of consumables has also been developed and following standards: Eurocode 3, AWS D1.1 and BSK07, have been compared for static joint design. Sub modelling, effective notch stress and beam theory techniques have been used to study the effect of weld metal penetration and size of weld throat on the fatigue strength of the welded joint in the Telescopic beam. The study show that matching or slight under matching in the filler material along with full penetration increases the ultimate strength capacity as well as the ductility in the joint. Results of Eurocode 3, AWS D1.1 and BSK 07 are close to each other. Apart from strength mismatch and penetration ratios, it is observed that the weld geometry and joint preparation has also effect on the strength of the joint. Fatigue analysis of the weld in the Telescopic beam using 3D Finite element analysis show that effective notch concept is not applicable to this part of the spreader.

Active Structural Acoustic Control of Clamped and Ribbed PlatesJohnson, William Richard 12 December 2013 (has links) (PDF)
A control metric, the weighted sum of spatial gradients (WSSG), has been developed for use in active structural acoustic control (ASAC). Previous development of WSSG [1] showed that it was an effective control metric on simply supported plates, while being simpler to measure than other control metrics, such as volume velocity. The purpose of the current work is to demonstrate that the previous research can be generalized to plates with a wider variety of boundary conditions and on less ideal plates. Two classes of plates have been considered: clamped flat plates, and ribbed plates. On clamped flat plates an analytical model has been developed for use in WSSG that assumes the mode shapes are the product of clamped-clamped beam mode shapes. The boundary condition specific weights for use in WSSG have been derived from this formulation and provide a relatively uniform measurement field, as in the case of the simply supported plate. Using this control metric, control of radiated sound power has been simulated. The results show that WSSG provides comparable control to volume velocity on the clamped plate. Results also show, through random placement of the sensors on the plate, that similar control can be achieved regardless of sensor location. This demonstrates that WSSG is an effective control metric on a variety of boundary conditions. Ribbed plates were considered because of their wide use in aircraft and ships. In this case, a finite-element model of the plate has been used to obtain the displacement field on the plate under a variety of boundary conditions. Due to the discretized model involved, a numerical, as opposed to analytical, formulation for WSSG has been developed. Simulations using this model show that ASAC can be performed effectively on ribbed plates. In particular WSSG was found to perform comparable to or better than volume velocity on all boundary conditions examined. The sensor insensitivity property was found to hold within each section (divided by the ribs) of the plate, a slightly modified form of the flat plate insensitivity property where the plates have been shown to be relatively insensitive to sensor location over the entire surface of the plate. Improved control at natural frequencies can be achieved by applying a second control force. This confirms that ASAC is a viable option for the control of radiated sound power on non-ideal physical systems similar to ribbed plates.

[en] INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR THE FORMULATIONS OF THE GEOMETRIC NONLINEARITY PROBLEM / [pt] SOLUÇÕES INTEGRADAS PARA AS FORMULAÇÕES DO PROBLEMA DE NÃO LINEARIDADE GEOMÉTRICAMARCOS ANTONIO CAMPOS RODRIGUES 26 July 2019 (has links)
[pt] Uma análise não linear geométrica de estruturas, utilizando o Método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF), depende de cinco aspectos: a teoria de flexão, da descrição cinemática, das relações entre deformações e deslocamentos, da metodologia de análise não linear e das funções de interpolação de deslocamentos. Como o MEF é uma solução numérica, a discretização da estrutura fornece grande influência na resposta dessa análise. Contudo, ao se empregar funções de interpolação correspondentes à solução homogênea da equação diferencial do problema, obtêm-se o comportamento exato da estrutura para uma discretização mínima, como ocorre em uma análise linear. Assim, este trabalho visa a integrar as soluções para o problema da não linearidade geométrica, de maneira a tentar reduzir essa influência e permitir uma discretização mínima da estrutura, considerando ainda grandes deslocamentos e rotações. Então, utilizando-se a formulação Lagrangeana atualizada, os termos de ordem elevada no tensor deformação, as teorias de flexão de Euler-Bernoulli e Timoshenko, os algoritmos para solução de problemas não lineares e funções de interpolação, que consideram a influência da carga axial, obtidas da solução da equação diferencial do equilíbrio de um elemento infinitesimal na condição deformada, desenvolve-se um elemento de pórtico espacial com uma formulação completa. O elemento é implementado no Framoop e sua resposta, utilizando-se uma discretização mínima da estrutura, é comparada com formulações usuais, soluções analíticas e com o programa Mastan2 v3.5. Os resultados evidenciam a eficiência da formulação desenvolvida para prever a carga crítica de estruturas planas e espaciais utilizando uma discretização mínima. / [en] A structural geometric nonlinear analysis, using the finite element method (FEM), depends on the consideration of five aspects: the bending theory, the kinematic description, the strain-displacement relations, the nonlinear solution scheme and the interpolation (shape) functions. As MEF is a numerical solution, the structure discretization provides great influence on the analysis response. However, applying shape functions calculated from the homogenous solution of the differential equation of the problem, the exact behavior of the structure is obtained for a minimum discretization, as for a linear analysis. Thus, this work aims to integrate the solutions for the formulations of the geometric nonlinearity problem, in order to reduce this influence and allow a minimum discretization of the structure, also considering, large displacements and rotations. Then, using an updated Lagrangian kinematic description, considering a higher-order Green strain tensor, The Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories, the nonlinear solutions schemes and the interpolation functions, that includes the influence of axial force, obtained directly from the solution of the equilibrium differential equation of an deformed infinitesimal element, a spatial bar frame element is developed using a complete formulation. The element was implemented in the Framoop, and their results, for a minimum discretization, were compared with conventional formulations, analytical solutions and with the software Mastan2 v3.5. Results clearly show the efficiency of the developed formulation to predict the critical load of plane and spatial structures using a minimum discretization.

Dynamic Mixed-Mode Fracture of Bonded Composite Joints for Automotive CrashworthinessPohlit, David Joseph 20 July 2007 (has links)
An experimental evaluation of the mixed-mode fracture behavior of bonded composite joints is presented. Commonly used experimental techniques for characterizing the mode I, mixed-mode I/II, mode II, and mode III fracture behavior have been employed for the purpose of developing a fracture envelope to be utilized in the automotive design process. These techniques make use of such test geometries as the double cantilever beam (DCB), asymmetric double cantilever beam (ADCB), single-leg bend (SLB), end-loaded split (ELS), and split cantilever beam (SCB) specimens. Symmetric versions of the DCB, SLB, and ELS specimens produced mode mixities of 0°, 41°, and 90° respectively, while the testing of ADCB specimens allowed for mode mixities of 18°, 31°.
Pronounced stick-slip behavior was observed for all specimen test geometries under both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. Due to the nature of the adhesive studied, a limited number of data points were obtained under mode I loading conditions. A significant increase in the number of measurable crack initiation events was observed for mixed-mode I/II loading conditions, where stick slip behavior was less pronounced. Additionally, a comparison of the measured fracture energies obtained under mixed-mode I/II loading conditions reveals that the addition of a small mode II component results in a decrease in the mode I fracture energy by roughly 50%, as the crack was driven to the interface between the adhesive layer and composite adherends. Furthermore, the propensity of debonds to propagate into the woven composite laminate adherends under mode II loading conditions limited the number of crack initiation points that could be obtained to one or two usable data points per specimen. A limited number of experimental tests using the SCB specimen for mode III fracture characterization, combined with a numerical analysis via finite element analysis, revealed a significant mode II contribution toward the specimen edges. Similarly, FE analyses on full bond width and half bond width SCB specimens was conducted, and results indicate that by inducing a bond width reduction of 50%, the mode II contribution is greatly decreased across the entire width of the specified crack front.
To provide a means for comparison to results obtained using the standard DCB specimen, an alternative driven wedge test specimen geometry was analyzed, as this geometry provided a significant increase in the number of measurable data points under mode I loading conditions. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to establish ratios of simple beam theory results to those obtained via FEA, GSBT/GFEA, were of particular interest, as these ratios were used to establish correction factors corresponding to specific crack lengths to be used in correcting results obtained from an experimental study utilizing a driven wedge technique. Corrected results show good agreement with results obtained from traditional mode I double cantilever beam tests.
Finally, bulk adhesive experiments were conducted on compact tension specimens to establish a correlation between adhesively bonded composite joint and bulk adhesive fracture behavior under mode I loading conditions. Measured fracture energy values were shown to gradually drop across a range of applied loading rates, similar to the rate-dependent behavior observed with both the DCB and driven wedge specimens. Application of the time-temperature superposition principle was explored to determine whether or not such techniques were suitable for predicting the fracture behavior of the adhesive studied herein. Good correlation was established between the fracture energy values measured and the value of tan d obtained from dynamic mechanical analysis tests conducted at corresponding reduced test rates. / Master of Science

Simulation de la nage anguilliformeLapierre, David 05 1900 (has links)
Ce document traite premièrement des diverses tentatives de modélisation et de simulation de la nage anguilliforme puis élabore une nouvelle technique, basée sur la méthode de la frontière immergée généralisée et la théorie des poutres de Reissner-Simo. Cette dernière, comme les équations des fluides polaires, est dérivée de la mécanique des milieux continus puis les équations obtenues sont discrétisées afin de les amener à une résolution numérique. Pour la première fois, la théorie des schémas de Runge-Kutta additifs est combinée à celle des schémas de Runge-Kutta-Munthe-Kaas pour engendrer une méthode d’ordre de convergence formel arbitraire. De plus, les opérations d’interpolation et d’étalement sont traitées d’un nouveau point de vue qui suggère l’usage des splines interpolatoires nodales en lieu et place des fonctions d’étalement traditionnelles. Enfin, de nombreuses vérifications numériques sont faites avant de considérer les simulations de la nage. / This paper first discusses various attempts at modeling and simulating anguilliform swimming, then we develop a new technique, based on a method of generalized immersed boundary and the beam theory of Reissner-Simo. Subsequent to the derivation of the equations of polar fluids, the beam theory is derived from continuum mechanics and the resulting equations are then discretized, allowing a numerical solution. For the first time, the theory of additive Runge-Kutta schemes are combined with the Runge-Kutta-Munthe-Kaas method to generate schemes of arbitrarily high formal order of convergence. Moreover, the interpolation and spreading operations are handled from a new point of view that suggests the use of interpolatory nodal splines instead of spreading traditional functions. Finally, many numerical verifications are done before considering simulations of swimming.
