    Vibroacoustic Response of Flexible Car Components

    J. Herrmann1, M. Junge1, L. Gaul1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.86, No.6, pp. 487-504, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.086.487
    Abstract The influence of an acoustic field on the dynamic behavior of a flexible structure is a common issue in automotive applications. An example is the pressure-induced structure-borne sound of piping and exhaust systems. Efficient model order reduction and substructuring techniques accelerate the finite element analysis and enable the vibroacoustic optimization of such complex systems with acoustic fluid-structure interaction. This research reviews the application of the Craig-Bampton and the Rubin method to fluid-structure coupled systems and presents two automotive applications. First, a fluid-filled piping system is assembled by substructures or superelements according to the Craig-Bampton method. Fluid and structural partitions are… More >

    Analysis for Shakedown of Functionally Graded Plate Subjected to Thermal-Mechanical Loading with Piecewise-Exponential Distribution of Material Properties

    H. Zheng1, X. Peng1,2,3, N. Hu1,4
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.86, No.6, pp. 505-532, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.086.505
    Abstract The static and kinematic shakedown of a functionally graded plate (FGP) is analyzed. The FGP is subjected coupled constant mechanical load and cyclically varying temperature. The FGP is composed of elastoplastic matrix and elastic particles, with the particle volume fraction varying along its thickness. The thermal and mechanical properties and their distributions are evaluated with a mean filed approach, which is based on the Eshelby's inclusion theory and takes into account directly the interaction between particles. The FGP is assumed to be separated into a number of thin layers, the thermal and mechanical properties in the thickness direction of each… More >

    The Cellular Automaton Model of Microscopic Traffic Simulation Incorporating Feedback Control of Various Kinds of Drivers

    Yonghua Zhou1, Chao Mi1, Xun Yang1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.86, No.6, pp. 533-550, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.086.533
    Abstract The cellular automaton (CA) model for traffic flow describes the restrictive vehicle movements using the distance headway (gap) between two adjacent vehicles. However, the autonomous and synergistic behaviors also exist in the vehicle movements. This paper makes an attempt to propose a microscopic traffic simulation model such that the feedback control behavior during the driving process is incorporated into the CA model. The acceleration, speed holding and deceleration are manipulated by the difference between the gap and the braking reference distance the driver perceives, which is generally observed in the realistic traffic. The braking reference distance is related to the… More >

    Efficient Parallel Computing of Multifrontal Linear Solver in Block Lanczos Algorithm for Large-Scale Structural Eigenproblems

    Wanil Byun1, Seung Jo Kim2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.86, No.6, pp. 551-576, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.086.551
    Abstract A structural eigensolver for large-scale finite element analysis is developed. The algorithms and data structures implemented in this paper are well suited for a distributed memory environment. As an eigenvalue extracting algorithm, the well-known M orthogonal block Lanczos iteration incorporated with a parallel multifrontal solver (PMFS) was chosen. Basically, for the better performance of this algorithm in parallel computation, Lanczos vector allocation, mass matrix multiplication, and M inner product procedures were efficiently implemented. And the PMFS for a linear equation which is the most time-consuming part during Lanczos iterations was improved. The idea was to optimize network topologies of parallel… More >
