A six degree-of-freedom computational flight dynamics model is used to study the effects of ice accretion on aircraft dynamics, and a pilot model is also involved. In order to investigate icing severity under different icing conditions, support vector regression is applied in establishing relationship between aircraft icing parameter and weather conditions. Considering the characteristics of aircraft icing accidents, a risk probability assessment model optimized by the particle swarm method is developed to measure the safety level. In particular, angle of attack is chosen as a critical parameter in this method. Results presented in the paper for a series of simulation show that this method captures the basic effects of atmospheric icing conditions on flight safety, which may provide an important theoretical reference for icing accidents avoidance.展开更多
A modified Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman （GTN） model that accounts for the mixed （isotropic and kinematic） hardening of cast steel GS-20Mn5V was developed and implemented in the finite dement program ABAQUS/Standard ...A modified Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman （GTN） model that accounts for the mixed （isotropic and kinematic） hardening of cast steel GS-20Mn5V was developed and implemented in the finite dement program ABAQUS/Standard via a user-defined material subroutine UMAT. This model couples the stress state and damage evolution （pore volume fraction increase） by a classic method that assumes that the total void volume fraction is divided into a nucleation and a growth part. A parametric study was conducted to assess the effect of modified GTN model parameters on mechanical properties such as the nucleation, growth and coalescence of voids and to obtain the optimal parameter combination by the orthogonal test method. The predicted load-displacement curves of notched specimens with the optimal parameters are favorably compared to the experimental curves. Therefore, the modified GTN model can be used to predict the damage evaluation and fracture behavior of GS-20Mn5V.展开更多

An ABAQUS numerical model of a double-face reinforced retaining wall was built. The influence of surface subsidence induced by mining was considered. A physical model test was also performed in the laboratory on a reinforced retaining wall. The influence of subsidence induced by mining was observed. The numerical results match measurements in the laboratory very well. The vertical pressure on the base of the retaining wall, the horizontal displacement of the wall and the horizontal soil pressure acting on the wall were analyzed. The differential settlement of the reinforced belt and axial forces in the wall were also studied.展开更多

Genetic algorithms have become some of the most important global optimization tools and been widely used in many fields in recent years because of their simple operation and strong robustness. Based on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure, the damage diagnosis of a jacket offshore platform is attributed to an optimization problem and studied by using a genetic algorithm. According to the principle that the structural stiffness of a certain direction can be greatly affected only when the brace bar in the corresponding direction is damaged, an improved objective function was proposed in this paper targeting measurement noise and the characteristics of modal identification for offshore platforms. This function can be used as fitness function of a genetic algorithm, and both numerical simulation and physical model test results show that the improved method may locate the structural damage and evaluate the severity of a jacket offshore platform satisfactorily while improving the robustness of evolutionary searching and the reliability of damage diagnosis.展开更多
