Abstract This paper presents the numerical solution of a viscoelastic continuous beam whose damping behaviours are defined in term of fractional derivatives of arbitrary order. Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to obtain the dynamic response with respect to unit impulse load. Obtained results are depicted in term of plots. Comparisons are made with the analytic solutions obtained by Zu-feng and Xiao-yan (2007) to show the effectiveness and validation of the present method. More >

Abstract In this paper, the mechanical model to analyze the riser lateral vibration displacement and stress distribution in installation has been established via variational approach and the principle of minimum potential energy. In this model, the influence of vessel motion on riser lateral vibration has been taken into consideration. The specific expression of lateral vibration has also been figured out according to the boundary conditions and initial conditions. At last, the variations of riser maximum lateral displacement and stress distribution on water depth (WD), wave height, wave period, riser OD, BOPS weight have been discussed. More >

Abstract Dynamic response of an infinite cylindrical borehole in a poroelastic medium with an excavation disturbed zone is investigated in this paper. The borehole is subjected to axisymmetric time-harmonic loads and fluid sources applied to its surface, which is either fully permeable or impermeable. The governing equations based on Biot’s poroelastodynamics theory are solved by using two scalar potentials and two vector potentials. The general solutions are then derived through the application of Fourier integral transform with respect to the vertical coordinate. An exact stiffness matrix scheme is established from the derived general solutions to include More >

Abstract Dynamic response sensitivity of a simply supported functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic plates have been studied by combining analytical method with finite element method. The functionally graded material parameters are assumed to obey exponential law in the thickness direction. A series solution of double trigonometric function agreed with the simply supported boundary condition is adopted in the plane of the plate and finite element method is used across the thickness of the plate. The finite element model is established based on energy variational principle. The coupled electromagnetic dynamic characteristics of a simply supported functionally graded magneto- electro-elastic More >

Abstract This paper describes the transformation of impedance functions in general structural systems with non-classical damping into a one-dimensional spring-dashpot system (1DSD). A transformation procedure based on complex modal analysis is proposed, where the impedance function is transformed into a 1DSD comprising units arranged in series. Each unit is a parallel system composed of a spring, a dashpot, and a unit having a spring and a dashpot arranged in series. Three application examples are presented to verify the applicability of the proposed procedure and the accuracy of the 1DSDs. The results indicate that the 1DSDs accurately… More >

Abstract In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to form glassy silica from meltedb-cristobalite using cooling rates of 2, 20 and 200 K/ps. The resulting glassy silica samples are then shocked at particle velocities ranging from 0.3 to 11 km/s in the MD simulations. The effect of the cooling rate on the shock wave velocity is observed for particle velocities below 2 km/s. Moreover, the simulated pressure and density of the shocked glassy silica increase as the cooling rate increases. As compared with the experimental data, the MD simulation can approximately identify the initiation More >

Abstract This paper presents some simulation results of nonlinear dynamic responses for a laminated composite beam embedded by actuators of the giant magnetostrictive material (Terfenol-D) subjected to external magnetic fields, where the giant magnetostrictive materials utilizing the realignment of magnetic moments in response to applied magnetic fields generate nonlinear strains and forces significantly larger than those generated by other smart materials. To utilize the full potential application of the materials in the function and safety designs, e.g., active control of vibrations, the analysis of dynamic responses is requested in the designs as accurately as possible on… More >

Abstract A nonlinear dynamic response analysis of a box section steel rigid frame under seismic action is proposed on the basis of a beam model. The average stress-strain relation of the beam model can be formulated for transverse stiffener spacing, in which stress-strain relation after local buckling is assumed. As a result of the present study, the maximum lateral displacements and the residual displacements of a box section steel rigid frame were well estimated by the proposed beam element model that considers the deterioration effect due to local buckling.

Abstract This paper presents a general boundary element methodology for the dynamic analysis of three-dimensional inelastic solids and structures. Inelasticity is simulated with the aid of the continuum damage theory. The elastostatic fundamental solution is employed in the integral formulation of the problem and this creates in addition to the surface integrals, volume integrals due to inertia and inelasticity. Thus an interior discretization in addition to the usual surface discretization is necessary. Isoparametric linear quadrilateral elements are used for the surface discretization and isoparametric linear hexahedra for the interior discretization. Advanced numerical integration techniques for singular More >
