Tasaisesti kuormitetun lujitemuovilaatan geometrinen epaelineaarisuus (Geometrical nonlinearity of a uniformly loaded reinforced plastic plate)

Abstract: The geometrical nonlinearity of a uniformly loaded plate becomes significant if the deflection exceeds half of the plate thickness. This is common in the bottom panels of boat hulls, where the allowed stress rather than the maximum deflection is used as the design criterion. The analysis of the problem must then be extended to include membrane stresses, which affect both the stress distribution and the maximum deflection of the plate. The objective of this work was to study the conditions under which membrane effects have to be taken into account in the structural analysis of a typical hull panel. The influence of the boundary conditions and the geometry of the panel as well as the orientation of the laminate are considered. Suitable calculation methods are discussed. The chosen method, introduced and programmed by G.H. Little (1987), is based on the direct minimization of the total potential energy. In a Micro-VAX the required CPU time for one loading case was fairly short. Some calculations were also made using the finite element program ADINA and the compatibility of the results was found to be satisfactory. The results for a typical rectangular panel show the importance of membrane effects at surprisingly low loading levels. Linear calculation methods cannot therefore be applied to the analysis of large panels in boat structures. (8 refs.)

Abstract : Natural teeth and dental implants have ditferinp degrees of mobility thus causing a potential biomechanical problem when connected by fixed bridgework. The clinical follow-up oflen discloses marginal bone loas around an implant neck probably due to high stress factors. An implant with built-in compliance resembling the tooth mobility could be advantageous for stress distribution. With axial loading the propoxd ‘elastic’-test model accomplishes this demand. By means of theoretical and experimental studies this ‘elastic’-test model is optimized and compared with a sti~implant-model. The results show a 10 times reduction of stress accumulation in bone with the ‘elastic’-test model.

Abstract: At the German HDR-test-facility a pipe failure experiment was performed at a fullsize feedwater piping system under operating conditions of T = 240 °C, pi = 10.6 MPa and with an elevated oxygen content in the pressure medium. The loading was internal pressure and a cyclic varying bending moment with an R-ratio of 0.5. The analyses of the fracture surface indicated the strongly growing influence of corrosion effects on the crack propagation rate with decreasing loading frequency. The cyclic crack growth and the leak-before-break behavior of the piping system could be explained on the basis of results of finite element calculations using the ADINA-code. (15 refs.)

Abstract: A shock isolation system (SIS) may include rather complicated mechanical components. To analyze, or simulate their response, requires not only a nonlinear solution procedure, but also the capability to model such complicated phenomena as liquid springs, chains, friction and nonlinear damping. The modeling of some SIS components requires minor modifications to ADINA as well as employing the code's existing capabilities in atypical ways. The paper describes the techniques employed and shows some of the predicted SIS responses. (2 refs.)

Abstract: To investigate the effects of strain rate on the tensile strength of concrete, split cylinder tests of plain concrete specimens were conducted on a Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). To ascertain the stress condition in the material specimens at failure, a comprehensive finite element method (FEM) study was conducted on the SHPB experiments. Both linear and nonlinear analyses were performed. From the results of the numerical analyses, the dynamic states of stress occurring in the split cylinder prior to failure as well as the mode of failure are revealed. (23 refs.)

Abstract: A method was developed and implemented in the finite element program ADINA for the numerical simulation of 2D- and 3D-crack propagation. The elastic-plastic 3D analyses results for different compact-tension specimens and a plate containing a semi-elliptical surface crack were compared with experimental findings. The results show the importance of consideration of the local stress state (constraint) in the crack-tip region in addition to the primary loading parameter J. Moreover, a creep crack growth experiment was simulated using the creep integral C as a crack growth controlling parameter. (18 refs.)

Abstract: During the preliminary design stage, it is important that structural response analysis methods be quick but reasonably accurate. One such method, applicable to plate and shell structures, is the 'finite strip method'. This paper first presents a review of the finite strip method. A detailed description is then given of the extension of the finite strip method to nonlinear analysis of air-blast loaded plates and stiffened panels. For validation of the finite strip results, comparison is made to those found using ADINA and to experiment. (15 refs.)

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the application of non-linear finite element procedures in the analysis for web crippling behaviour of thin-walled mono-symmetric (lipped channel section) cold-formed steel members subjected to interior one-flange loading conditions. Elasto-plastic large deformation responses of three such members have been obtained using the ADINA finite element program. Flange curling, the gradually increasing separation between flange and support, was studied through a contact surface model. A comparison of the non-linear finite element predictions with experimental results shows generally good agreements.

Abstract: In order to study the nonlinear load bearing and deformation behavior of steel frames, a finite two-node beam element is presented which makes it possible to perform constitutionally and geometrically nonlinear analyses of arbitrarily shaped I-beams. This module was especially developed for the general purpose finite element program ADINA. The performance of this module is demonstrated both on the basis of a comparison with the results of analytic and three-dimensional finite element calculations on a single bar and on the basis of ultimate-load studies of frame structures of practical relevance.

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of aerial electric transmission lines subjected to conductor breakage. The model uses existing finite elements and validated numerical techniques available in most commercial programs capable of handling nonlinear dynamic analysis. ADINA is used in this study. In comparison with other models, the novel approach presented here focuses on the discretization of the conductors as well as the supporting structures, specially near the breakage point. Dynamic interactions between all the structural components are therefore considered and comparisons with simpler models emphasize the importance of these interactions, the effects of geometric nonlinearities present in the conductors and in the supporting structures, and the contribution of higher modes. The mathematical model is validated with 7 of 56 tests conducted on reduced-scale physical models. The results are very encouraging for designers interested in validating their design criteria for longitudinal dynamic loads by use of existing nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis packages.

Numerical simulation of excavation in elastoplastic soils

Abstract: A finite element method for simulating excavation in elastoplastic soils which produces a 'unique' solution for any number of excavation stages is presented. The proposed method satisfies the uniqueness principle for elastic materials postulated by K. Ishihara, and degenerates to the methods presented in the ADINA code and by P. T. Brown and J.R. Booker and J. Ghaboussi and D.A. Pecknold for the simple elastic cases. The non-linear (elastoplastic) finite element equations are derived from a variational formulation which accounts for time-varying problem domain and boundaries. For a monotonically shrinking elastoplastic domain and the von Mises and Drucker-Prager yield models, it is shown that the proposed method also produces a 'unique' solution independent of the number of excavation stages.

Abstract: Deployable-collapsable structures have many potential applications ranging from emergency shelters and facilities, through relocatable, semi-permanent structures, to space-station components. Their main advantages are the small volume they occupy during storage and transportation, and their fast and easy erection procedure. A new concept of self-stabilizing deployable structures featuring stable, stress-free states in both deployed and collapsed configuration shows even higher promise. During the deployment phase these structures exhibit a highly nonlinear behavior. A large displacements/small strains finite element formulation is used to trace the nonlinear load-displacement curve, and to obtain the maximum internal forces that occur in the members of the structure during deployment. The influence of various parameters that affect the behavior of the structures, such as geometric shape, dimensions of the members, cross-sectional properties and kinematic assumptions is being investigated.

Abstract: In this paper we study the use of conjugate gradient iterative solution techniques for the solution of sparse systems of algebraic equations generated by the problem ADINA, as well as those resulting from a finite element discretization of fluid flow problems. The symmetric positive definite systems generated by ADINA for static structural analysis are solved with a conjugate gradient iterative method with incomplete Cholesky preconditioning. A biconjugate gradient method is used with incomplete LU factorization as a preconditioner to solve the equations with nonsymmetric coefficient matrices arising in the analysis of a fluid flow problem. The results of our numerical experiments show that preconditioned iterative methods can have significant advantages over direct methods in the solution of large, sparse systems of equations arising in 3D static structural analysis. However, the equations arising in fluid flow analysis are not as amenable to iterative solution techniques of the kind described in this paper. (15 refs.)

Abstract: This paper describes a continuum principle of design sensitivity analysis of linear and nonlinear structures for shape and nonshape optimization problems. The principle has been derived previously using the virtual work equation, and the concepts of reference volume and adjoint structure. It is stated in a form that is more convenient to interpret and discretize for numerical calculations. Physical interpretation for each implicit design variation term in the principle is given relating it to the virtual work of internal or external forces, or their explicit design variations. A discretization of the principle using usual shape functions of finite element analysis is developed for implementation into computer programs, such as ADINA. Some numerical examples are solved to show practical use of the principle. (23 refs.)

Abstract: This paper presents some numerical experiments in finite element procedures applied to a wave propagation problem. Finite element computations with ADINA are compared with an exact solution obtained by the use of integral transforms, in the case of an elastic half-space loaded by a step of pressure applied uniformly over a circular area at the surface. The selection of a convenient mesh, the time integration method, and the time step are considered with respect to the spectral properties of the method. It is shown that the best results for a two- or three-dimensional problem are obtained with a consistent mass idealization, and a high-frequency weakly filtering scheme. Special attention is given to the wave patterns at early times near the surface. (29 refs.)
