In this contribution, a previously introduced discrete model for studying the statics of duoskelion beam-like structures is extended to dynamics. The results of numerical simulations performed using such an extended model are reported to discuss the in-plane dynamic buckling of duoskelion structures under different loading and kinematic boundary conditions. The core instrument of the analysis is a discrete beam element, which, in addition to flexure, also accounts for extension and shearing deformations. Working in the setting of dynamics, inertial contributions are taken into account as well. A stepwise time integration scheme is employed to reconstruct the complete trajectory of the system, namely before and after buckling. It is concluded that the duoskelion structure exhibits exotic features compared with classical beam-like structures modeled at macro-scale by Euler–Bernoulli’s model.

A finite element formulation for the nonlinear heat conduction and thermoelastic analyses of orthotropic, axisymmetric layered pressure vessels is presented. Nonlinearities include temperature-dependent material properties and stress-dependent layer interface conditions. Solution of the nonlinear heat conduction equations is iteratively obtained using a modified Newton-Raphson scheme. Direct iteration between heat conduction and stress analyses is employed when stress-dependent interface thermal resistance is considered. A modified time integration scheme to reduce oscillatory noise is introduced, and the stability and accuracy of the time integration scheme are discussed. Numerical results for various vessel designs and loadings are presented in Part 2 of the paper.

Abstract This paper describes a finite element formulation to solve for the combined dynamic behavior of Shinkansen (bullet train) vehicles, irregular rails, and bridges. A mechanical model for interactions between a wheel and an irregular rail is discussed. The bridge is modeled by use of various finite elements. An efficient numerical method, based on modal analysis and exact time integration, is described for solving the nonlinear equations of motion of the Shinkansen vehicle and bridge. The convergence of the exact time integration scheme is discussed and compared with a previous numerical time integration scheme. A finite element computer program has been developed to analyze the dynamic response of Shinkansen vehicles operating at high speed over irregular rails and a bridge. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the present approach.

AbstractThe virtual element method (VEM) for dynamic analyses of nonlinear elasto-plastic problems undergoing large deformations is outlined within this work. VEM has been applied to various problems in engineering, considering elasto-plasticity, multiphysics, damage, elastodynamics, contact- and fracture mechanics. This work focuses on the extension of VEM formulations towards dynamic elasto-plastic applications. Hereby low-order ansatz functions are employed in three dimensions with elements having arbitrary convex or concave polygonal shapes. The formulations presented in this study are based on minimization of potential function for both the static as well as the dynamic behavior. Additionally, to overcome the volumetric locking phenomena due to elastic and plastic incompressibility conditions, a mixed formulation based on a Hu-Washizu functional is adopted. For the implicit time integration scheme, Newmark method is used. To show the model performance, various numerical examples in 3D are presented.

Response sensitivity evaluation is an important element in reliability evaluation and design optimization of structural systems. It has been widely studied under static and dynamic forcing conditions with deterministic input data. In this paper, structural response and reliability sensitivities are determined by means of the time domain covariance analysis in both classically and nonclassically damped linear structural systems. A time integration scheme is proposed for covariance sensitivity. A modulated, filtered, white noise input process is adopted to model the stochastic nonstationary loads. The method allows for the evaluation of sensitivity statistics of different quantities of dynamic response with respect to structural parameters. Finally, numerical examples are presented regarding a multistorey shear frame building.
