The evaluation of the fatigue damage performed by using the Power Spectral Density function (PSD) of stress and strain state is proving to be extremely accurate for a family of random processes characterized by the property of being stationary. The present work’s original contribution is the definition of a methodology which extracts stress and strain PSD matrices from components modelled using a modal approach (starting from a finite element modelling and analysis) within mechanical systems modelled using multibody dynamic simulation and subject to a generic random load (i.e. multiple-input, with partially correlated inputs). This capability extends the actual stress evaluation scenario (principally characterised by the use of finite element analysis approach) to the multibody dynamic simulation environment, more powerful and useful to simulate complex mechanical systems (i.e. railway, automotive, aircraft and aerospace systems). As regards the fatigue damage evaluation, a synthesis approach to evaluate an equivalent stress state expressed in terms of the PSD function of Preumont’s “equivalent von Mises stress (EVMS)”, starting from the complete stress state representation expressed in terms of PSD stress matrix and easily usable in the consolidated spectral methods, is proposed. This approach allows and has allowed the use of the above methods such as the Dirlik formula as a damage evaluation method. An additional result is the conception and implementation of a frequency domain method for the component’s most probable state of stress, allowing quickly identification of the most stressed and damageble locations. The described methodologies were developed and embedded into commercial simulation codes and verified by using as a test case a simple reference multibody model with a simple flexible component.

Abstract This paper presents a network based implementation of real-time dynamic simulation methods. An interactive animated graphics environment is presented that permits the engineer to view high quality animated graphics rendering of dynamic performance, to interact with the simulation, and to study the effects of design variations, while the simulation is being carried out. An industry standard network computing system is employed to interface the parallel processor that carries out the dynamic simulation and a high speed graphics processor that creates and displays animated graphics. Multi-windowing and graphics processing methods that are employed to provide visualization and operator control of the simulation are presented. A vehicle dynamics application is used to illustrate the methods developed and to analyze communication bandwidth requirements for implementation with a compute server that is remote from the graphics workstation. It is shown that, while massive data sets are generated on the parallel processor during realtime dynamic simulation and extensive graphics data are generated on the workstation during rendering and display, data communication requirements between the compute server and the workstation are well within the capability of existing networks.

IEC 61850-9-2 proposes the process bus communication for protection and automation within substations. The actual performance of process bus such as real-time, security and reliability are of concern, when transmission of sample values and trip signals over the same network. This paper presents the establishment of a dynamic simulation test platform, in order to facilitate the test of protection schemes over the process bus. An example is given to demonstrate that incorrect switch configuration, message priority tagging, and the volumes of traffic on the network may have an impact on the real time and reliability of the signals to be delivered.
