The vibration and damping characteristics of an assembled structure made of steel are investigated by an experimental modal analysis and compared with the results of a finite element modal analysis. A generic experiment is carried out to evaluate the stiffness and the damping properties of the structure's join patches. Using these results, an appropriate finite element model of the structure is developed where the join patches are represented by thin-layer elements containing material properties which are derived from the generic experiment's results. The joint's stiffness is modeled by orthotropic material behavior whereas the damping properties are represented by the model of constant hysteresis, leading to a complex-valued stiffness matrix. A comparison between the experimental and the numerical modal analysis shows good agreement. A more detailed damping model in conjunction with an optimization procedure for the joint's parameters results in an improved correlation between the experimental and the numerical modal quantities and reveals that the results of the generic experiment are sound.

Inflatable Structure

The stress distribution and modal behavior of a space inflatable torus was investigated by nonlinear finite element numerical method. This paper focused on the effect of follower pressure on the modal analysis of the torus, including the effect of configuration change and follower pressure stiffness, and focused on validating the follower pressure stiffness FEM model and its applicability to modal analysis. Research shows that the changed configuration slightly increases the natural frequencies. The follower pressure stiffness significantly reduces the natural frequencies and changes mode shapes order. The modal results are in good agreement with the corresponding shell theory solutions, indicating that the finite element model of the follower pressure stiffness for the inflatable structure modal analysis in this paper is accurate enough and reasonable.

Angular Particles

The trajectory of an angular particle as it cuts a ductile target is, in general, complicated because of its dependence not only on particle shape, but also on particle orientation at the initial instant of impact. This orientation dependence has also made experimental measurement of impact parameters of single angular particles very difficult, resulting in a relatively small amount of available experimental data in the literature. The current work is focused on obtaining measurements of particle kinematics for comparison to rigid plastic model developed by Papini and Spelt. Fundamental mechanisms of material removal are identified, and measurements of rebound parameters and corresponding crater dimensions of single hardened steel particles launched against flat aluminium alloy targets are presented. Also a 2-D finite element model is developed and a dynamic analysis is performed to predict the erosion mechanism. Overall, a good agreement was found among the experimental results, rigid-plastic model predictions and finite element model predictions.

Stochastic Dynamic Analysis

This paper investigates the uncertainty quantification in structural dynamic problems with spatially random variation in material and damping parameters. Uncertain and locally varying material parameters are represented as stochastic field by means of the Karhunen–Loève (KL) expansion. The stiffness and damping properties of the structure are considered uncertain. Stochastic finite element of structural modal analysis is performed in which modal responses are represented using the generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) expansion. Knowing the KL expansions of the random parameters, the nonintrusive technique is employed on a set of random collocation points where the structure deterministic finite element model is executed to estimate the unknown coefficients of the polynomial chaos expansions. A numerical case study is presented for a cantilever beam with random Young's modulus involving spatial variation. The proportional damping constants are estimated from the experimental modal analysis. The expected value, standard deviation, and probability distribution of the random eigenfrequencies and the damping ratios are evaluated. The results show high accuracy compared to the Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations with 3000 realizations. It is also demonstrated that the eigenfrequencies and the damping ratios are equally affected from material uncertainties.

Brittle Mode

Abstract This paper presents a finite element model for the simulation of ice-structure interaction problems, which are dominated by crushing. The failure mode of ice depends significantly on the strain rate. At low strain rates the ice behaves ductile, whereas at high strain rates ice reacts in brittle mode. This paper focuses on the brittle mode, which is the dominating mode for ship-ice interactions. A multitude of numerical approaches for the simulation of ice can be found in the literature. Nevertheless, the literature approaches do not seem suitable for the simulation of continuous ice-structure interaction processes at low and high confinement ratios in brittle mode. Therefore, this paper seeks to simulate the ice-structure interaction with the finite element method (FEM). The objective of the here introduced Mohr-Coulomb Nodal Split (MCNS) model is to represent the essential material behavior of ice in an efficient formulation. To preserve mass and energy as much as possible, the node splitting technique is applied, instead of the frequently used element erosion technique. The intention of the presented model is not to reproduce individual cracks with high accuracy, because this is not possible with a reasonable element size, due to the large number of crack fronts forming during the ice-structure interaction process. To validate the findings of the model, the simulated maximum ice forces and contact pressures are compared with ice-extrusion and double pendulum tests. During validation, the MCNS model shows a very good agreement with these experimental values.
