AbstractSince its introduction in 2001 [1], the concept of topological interlocking has advanced to reasonable maturity, and various research groups have now adopted it as a promising avenue for developing novel structures and materials with unusual mechanical properties. In this paper, we review the known geometries of building blocks and their arrangements that permit topological interlocking. Their properties relating to stiffness, fracture resistance and damping are discussed on the basis of experimental evidence and modeling results. An outlook to prospective engineering applications is also given.

Stiffening Effect

Starting from the fully geometrically nonlinear deformation model of a 3D elastic body, a consistent approximation for the strain energy in the vicinity of a pre-deformed state is obtained. This allows for the stress (geometric) stiffening effect to be taken into account. Additional terms arise in the strain energy approximation in comparison to the conventional approach, in which stiffening is incorporated in the form of a so-called geometric stiffness matrix. Computational costs of the new model are of the same order as that of the conventional approach. When compared to the fully geometrically nonlinear theory, the numerical analysis shows the suggested model to describe the dynamics of an elastic rotating structure better than the conventional approach. A new strategy is suggested to treat the non-constant pre-deformation, which is important for the flexible multibody simulations when angular velocities and interaction forces vary in time.

The Stability

This paper discusses the stability of a periodically time-varying, spinning blade with cubic geometric nonlinearity. The modal reduction method is adopted to simplify the nonlinear partial differential equations to the ordinary differential equations, and the geometric stiffening is approximated by the axial inertia membrane force. The method of multiple time scale is employed to study the steady state motions, the corresponding stability and bifurcation for such a periodically time-varying rotating blade. The backbone curves for steady-state motions are achieved, and the parameter map for stability and bifurcation is developed. Illustration of the steady-state motions is presented for an understanding of rotational motions of the rotating blade.

Stiffening Effect

In this paper, based on the nonlinear strain–deformation relationship, the dynamics equation of a spatial curved beam undergoing large displacement and small deformation is deduced using the finite-element method of floating frame of reference (FEMFFR) and Hamiltonian variation principle. The stress-stiffening effect, which is also called geometric stiffening effect, is accounted for in the dynamics equation, which makes it possible for the dynamics simulation of the spatial curved beam with high rotational speed. A numerical example is carried out by using the deduced dynamics equation to analyze the stress-stiffening effect of the curved beam and then verified by abaqus software. Then, the modal synthesis methods, which result in much fewer numbers of coordinates, are employed to improve the computational efficiency.

Tip Mass

In this study a comprehensive approach for modeling flexibility for a beam with tip mass is presented. The method utilizes a Timoshenko beam with geometric stiffening. The element matrices are reported as the integral of the product of shape functions. This enhances their utility due to their generic form. They are utilized in a symbolic-based algorithm for the automatic generation of the element matrices. The time-dependent terms are factored after assembly for better computational implementation. The effect of speed and tip mass on cross coupling between the elastic and rigid body motions represented by Coriolis, normal and tangential accelerations is investigated. The nonlinear term (geometric stiffening) is modeled by introducing a tensor which plays the same role as element matrices for the linear terms. This led to formulation of the exact tangent matrix needed to solve the nonlinear differential equation.
