Consistent Formulation

This paper presents a consistent formulation of the generalized-α time integration scheme for mechanical and mechatronic systems. The algorithm can deal with a nonconstant mass matrix, controller dynamics, and kinematic constraints. The theoretical background relies on the analogy with linear multistep formulas, which leads to elegant results related to consistency, order conditions for constant and variable step-size methods, as well as global convergence. Those results are illustrated for a controlled spring-mass system, and the method is also applied for the simulation of a vehicle semi-active suspension.

Time Integration Scheme

Abstract 1D impact between two identical bars is modeled as a simple spring-mass system as would be generated by a finite element discretization. Some commonly used time integrators are applied to the system to demonstrate defects in the numerical solution as compared to the exact analytical solution. Using energy conservation as the criterion for stability, a new time integration scheme is proposed that imposes a persistency condition for dynamic contact. Finite element simulation with Lagrange multipliers for enforcing the contact constraints shows exact energy and momentum conservation.

Time Integration Scheme

Discrete elastic rods (DER) algorithm presents a computationally efficient means of simulating the geometrically nonlinear dynamics of elastic rods. However, it can suffer from artificial energy loss during the time integration step. Our approach extends the existing DER technique by using a different time integration scheme—we consider a second-order, implicit Newmark-beta method to avoid energy dissipation. This treatment shows better convergence with time step size, specially when the damping forces are negligible and the structure undergoes vibratory motion. Two demonstrations—a cantilever beam and a helical rod hanging under gravity—are used to show the effectiveness of the modified discrete elastic rods simulator.

Abstract In the current development of flexible multibody dynamics, the efficient and accurate consideration of distributed and nonlinear forces is an active area of research. Examples are, forces due to body-body contact or due to elastohydrodynamics (EHD). This leads to many additional modes for representing the local deformations in the areas on which those forces act. Recent publications show that these can be several hundred to several thousand additional modes. A conventional, monolithic numerical time integration scheme would lead to unacceptable computing times. This paper presents a method for an efficient time integration of such systems. The core idea is to treat the equations associated with modes representing local deformations separately. Using the Newmark formulas, a fixed point iteration is proposed for these separated equations, which can always be stabilized with decreasing step size. The concluding examples underline this property, as well as the fact that the proposed method massively outperforms the conventional, monolithic time integration with increasing number of modes.

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.
