    Stabilized reduced integration and sequentially linear analysis on the approximation of the non-linear behaviour of structures

    Héctor Rodrigo Amezcua Rivera1, Amado Gustavo Ayala Milián1
    Revista Internacional de Métodos Numéricos para Cálculo y Diseño en Ingeniería, Vol.39, No.2, pp. 1-11, 2023, DOI:10.23967/j.rimni.2023.06.002 - 20 June 2023
    Abstract n this paper, a computationally efficient strategy for the approximation of the non- linear behaviour of structures through the finite element method is proposed. This proposal is based on the execution of a set of linear analyses in which the strength of the elements where the damage occurs is sequentially degraded and, in addition, complemented with a stabilized reduced numerical integration scheme for solid finite elements. Thus, the stiffness matrix only contains information of one integration point and, consequently, the stresses are computed only at that point. Also, due to the stabilization, it is possible More >

    Kesavan Duraisamy1, S.Padma1, M.Senthil Kumar1
    Revista Internacional de Métodos Numéricos para Cálculo y Diseño en Ingeniería, Vol.39, No.2, pp. 1-5, 2023, DOI:10.23967/j.rimni.2023.06.003 - 20 June 2023
    Abstract To obtain an optimum power market the deregulation process is implemented for the entire electrical market and further classified as transmission and distribution units. Each firm focuses on delivering its best output which leads to congestion issues on transmission lines as there is in-adequate transmission capability to satisfy the load demand, and transmission congestion occurs. Transmission cable congestion results from a lack of coordination between the utilities that handle generating, transmission, and distribution leading to a generator failure, an abrupt increase in load demand, or the miscarriage of equipment, all of which can be fixed More >

    Revista Internacional de Métodos Numéricos para Cálculo y Diseño en Ingeniería, Vol.39, No.2, pp. 1-9, 2023, DOI:10.23967/j.rimni.2023.05.002 - 16 May 2023
    Abstract The value of the gas-path parameter, exhaust gas temperature margin (EGTM), is the critical index for predicting aeroengine performance degradation. Accurate predictions help to improve engine maintenance, replacement schedules, and flight safety. The outside air temperature (OAT), altitude of the airport, the number of flight cycles, and water washing information were chosen as the sample input variables for the data-driven prognostic model for predicting the take-off EGTM of the on-wing engine. An attention-based deep learning framework was proposed for the aeroengine performance prediction model. Specifically, the multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) structure is designed to More >

    Abstract "This work aims to develop a computational tool for synthesizing a four-bar linkage mechanism that can generate a prescribed path for a point coupler link to follow. The dimensional synthesis of the mechanism involves determining the lengths of each of its links. In this case, two possible configurations are evaluated: crank-rocker and/or double crank. The prescribed path consists of an arbitrary number of points contained in a plane, along with the corresponding rotation degrees of the driver element.'' Dimensioning the mechanism involves many variables, and it is possible to obtain various configurations that generate paths… More >

    Abstract The granular-media-based push-bending process has been developed to manufacture thin-wall elbow tube with t/D≤0.01 (the ratio of wall thickness to outer diameter) and R/D≤1.5 (the ratio of bending radius to outer diameter). In the process, a tubular blank is filled with granular media and then pushed into a die to form an elbow shape. To investigate the process, a FEM-DEM coupling model has been developed, in which FEM is used to simulate bending deformation of tubular blank, and DEM is used to calculate contact forces between spherical particles in granular media.

    Abstract Metamaterials are generated from an interrelated set of cells and can present a macroscopic behaviour that differs from the one that characterizes its basic constituents. Modelling the influence that the damage and fracture of the elemental constituents have in the macroscopic properties of the metamaterial is relevant for its mechanical analysis. Altering the resistant behaviour of the elements (changing their longitudinal elastic modulus), it is possible to approximate the effect of the damage in the complete structure. It is considered as valid the substitution of the damage and plastic deformation phenomena by intermediate states contained… More >

    Abstract The water resources in southwest China is abundant and the seismicity is strong, so it is necessary to study the dynamic response and safety of hydraulic structures under rare earthquake. Taking a typical radial steel gate as an example, a three-dimensional numerical model considering the interaction between water and gate during the earthquake is established. The accuracy and applicability of the model are verified by comparing with the measured results of the dynamic response of Zipingpu dam during the Wenchuan earthquake. Thereafter, the dynamic displacement and stress, and resonance frequency of the radial gate under… More >

    Abstract We present a combination of three dimensional (3D) solid elements and rotation-free beam elements for non-linear analysis of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) of rebars. The matrix material is modelled by 3D solid elements while the fibers are modelled with rotation-free beam elements. The absence of rotation variables in the beam elements allows the straightforward coupling of 3D solid and beam elements using a formulation with displacement nodal degrees of freedom only. Both solid and beam elements are formulated in an updated Lagrangian description. The behavior of the matrix and the fiber material are modelled with an More >
