Slender Structures

Bringing together the experience and knowledge of engineers allowed building modern footbridges as very slender structures. This in turn has led to structural vibration problems, which is a direct consequence of slender structures. In some footbridges, this problem occurs when natural construction frequencies are close to excitation frequencies. This requires a design methodology, which would ensure user safety and convenience of use of the footbridge in operation. Considering the aforementioned dynamic response, the analysis of the finite element model of a footbridge was conducted focusing on critical acceleration and deformation meanings. The model was based on the footbridge prototype located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Two different loading methods were developed to investigate the dynamic effects caused by people crossing a footbridge. The comparison of experimental and finite element model (FEM) results revealed that the footbridge in operation is within the limit values of comfort requirements in terms of its vibrations.

The Finite Element Model

This paper presents a research devoted to the study of vibration problems in turbofan application. Several numerical and experimental tools have been developed. An experimental test rig that simulates the vibrational behavior of a turbofan engine is presented. Moreover, a finite element model is used in order to predict the non-linear dynamic behavior of rotating machines and to predict the first critical speed of engineering machine. A comparison between the experimental tests and the numerical model is conducted in order to evaluate the critical speed of the rotating structure and to update the finite element model.

Artificial Neural Network Ann

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) telah digunakan dengan meluas bagi tujuan mengesan kerosakan dalam struktur menggunakan data–data mod dari gegaran. Walau bagaimanapun, ketidakpastian yang wujud dalam model unsur terhingga dan data dari lapangan yang tidak dapat dielakkan boleh menyebabkan kesilapan dalam meramalkan magnitud dan lokasi kerosakan. Dalam kajian ini kaedah statistik digunakan untuk mengambil kira ketidakpastian ini. ANN digunakan untuk meramalkan parameter–parameter kekukuhan dari frekuensi dan mod bentuk bagi sesebuah struktur. Untuk mengambil kira ketidakpastian dalam ramalan, kaedah statistik digunakan di mana kaedah Rossenblueth point estimation diperbandingkan dengan kaedah Monte Carlo diaplikasikan bagi mengambil kira ketidakpastian ini. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa dengan mengambil kira ketidakpastian dalam membuat ramalan menggunakan ANN, kerosakan boleh diramalkan pada tahap keyakinan yang tinggi. Kata kunci: Artificial neural network; ketidakpastian; kesilapan rawak Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely applied to detect damages in structures based on structural vibration modal parameters. However, uncertainties that inevitably exist in finite element model and measured vibration data might lead to false or unreliable prediction of structural damage. In this study, a statistical approach is proposed to include the effect of uncertainties in the ANN algorithm for damage prediction. ANN is used to predict the stiffness parameters of structures from measured structural vibration frequencies and mode shapes. Uncertainties in the measured data and finite element model of the structure are considered in the prediction. The statistics of the identified parameters are determined using Rossenblueth’s point estimation method and verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that by considering these uncertainties in the ANN model, the damages can be detected with a higher confidence level. Key words: Artificial neural network; uncertainties; random error

Vehicle System

A structural-acoustic finite-element model of a sedan-type automotive vehicle is developed and experimentally evaluated for predicting vehicle interior noise and structural vibration. The vehicle system model is developed from finite-element models of the major structural subsystems, which include the trimmed body, front suspension, rear suspension, powertrain and exhaust system. An acoustic finite-element model of the passenger compartment cavity is coupled with the vehicle system model to predict the interior noise response. The predicted interior noise and structural vibration by the vehicle system model are compared with the measured responses for shaker excitation at the axle to 200 Hz. The comparisons demonstrate the accuracy of the structural-acoustic vehicle system model, and they indicate where modeling improvements are required.

AbstractThe article describes a method of creating a mesoscale finite element model of a fabric reinforced laminate that replicates the smallest repetitive fragment of its microstructure – RUC (Repetitive Unit Cell). The model takes into account the influence of the number and orientation of layers, the weave of the reinforcement fabric as well as manufacturing technology on the strength and stiffness of the laminate. The constants of the finite elements forming RUC (equivalent cross-sectional parameters, limit values of forces ensuring layer integrity) are determined experimentally by performing uncomplicated tests of specimens of a particular laminate. A special preprocessor was developed to generate the finite element model of the construction element from laminate, which automatically creates the so-called batch file defining the model. The usefulness of the preprocessor was checked by simulating a three-point bending test of a laminate door beam of a passenger car. The obtained calculation results were verified experimentally.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.
