Abstract The developing populace and industrialization power demand prompted the requirement for power generation from elective sources. The desire for this pursuit is solid due to the ever-present common assets of petroleum derivatives and their predominant ecological issues. It is generally acknowledged that sustainable power sources are one of the best answers for the energy emergency. Among these, Photovoltaic (PV) sources have many benefits to bestow a very promising future. If integrated into the existing power distribution infrastructure, the solar source will be more successful, requiring efficient Direct Current (DC)-Alternating Current (AC) conversion. This paper mainly aims to improve controllers’ performance… More >

Abstract Multi-phase transient interactions play an important role in modern engineering applications such as additive manufacturing, drilling, hydrofracturing, impact and penetration. It has been shown that the evolution of interfacial failure between different material phases has the nonlocal feature [1], namely, the stress state at a material point depends on the strain distribution around that point in a representative volume of certain size. Hence, local constitutive models cannot predict the real physics associated with interfacial failure evolution. On the other hand, the mesh-based methods cannot describe the real physics involved in the interfacial problems, due to the use of master/slave nodes… More >

Abstract In this paper the reverberation ray matrix method, which was developed recently by Professor Pao and his colleagues for analyzing dynamic response of elastic trusses or frames, is extended and used to solve the transient response of frames made of viscoelastic bars. Originally for the solution of elastic structure the matrix (I-R)-1 is expanded into Neumann series to circumvent the difficulty of singularity in reversing the matrix in frequency domain. However, it is not necessary to expand this matrix since there is no singularity problem for viscoelastic frame due to viscous damping. The accuracy and effectiveness of applying reverberation ray… More >

Abstract An efficient hybrid numerical method is presented for investigating transient response of cross-ply laminated axisymmetric cylinders subjected to an impact load. In this hybrid numerical method, the laminated cylinder is divided into layered cylindrical elements in the thickness direction. The Hamilton principle is used to develop governing equations of the structure. The displacement response is determined by employing the Fourier transformations and the modal analysis. Numerical examples for analyzing transient waves have been provided in axisymmetric laminated cylindrical structures, both for thin cylindrical shells and thick cylinders.
A computational inverse technique is also presented for reconstructing elastic constants of… More >

Abstract In this article, the transient response in a functionally graded material (FGM) slab is analyzed by Laplace transform technique. The numerical Laplace inversion (Durbin's formula) is used to calculate the dynamic behavior of the FGM slab. The slab is subjected an uniform loading at the upper surface, and the lower surface are assumed to be traction-free or fixed conditions. The analytical solutions are presented in the transform domain and the numerical Laplace inversion is performed to obtain the transient response in time domain. To take the accuracy and computational efficiency in consideration, Durbin's method is suitable for calculating the long-time… More >

Abstract A computationally efficient numerical method is developed for the prediction of transient response in orthotropic rod and beam structures. The method takes advantage of the outstanding properties of compactly supported Daubechies wavelet scaling functions for the spatial approximation of displacements in a finite domain of the structure, hence is termed Finite Wavelet Domain (FWD) method. The basic principles and advantages of the method are presented and the discretization of the equations of motion is formulated for one-dimensional structures. Numerical results for the simulation of propagating guided waves in rods and strips are presented and compared against traditional finite elements. More >

Abstract The method of Domain/Boundary Element is used to achieve a dynamic analysis of elastoplastic thick plates resting on internal supports. All possible boundary conditions on the edge of the plate with any interior support conditions such as isolated points (column), lines (walls) or regions (patches) can be treated without practical difficulties. The formulation presented includes the effects of shear deformation and rotatory inertia following Reissner-Mindlin's deformation theory assumptions. The method employs the elastostatic fundamental solution of the problem resulting in both boundary and domain integrals due to inertia, plasticity and interior support effect terms. By discretizing the integral equations and… More >
