REFINED HYBRID MINDLIN PLATE ELEMENT FOR GEOMETRICALLY NON LINEAR ANALYSIS

Based upon a generalized variational principle, which relaxed the inter element continuity requirements, a novel refined hybrid Mindlin plate element is developed, its non linear element stiffness matrices are decomposed into a series of matrices with respect to the assumed strain modes. The formulation presented in this paper is different from any other non linear mixed/hybrid element formulation all successful experience of linear hybrid formulation is absorbed into the formulation(adding non conforming modes and realizing orthogonalization) Numerical results show that the present approach is more effective than any other non linear hybrid element formulation over the accuracy and computational efficiency. In addition, non conforming modes can also overcome the shear locking effect.

Influence of wave and current on deep-sea mining transporting system

As a solution to the breaking of pipeline under high axial force,carbon fiber composite pipe with low density and high intensity is applied to deep-sea mining transporting system.Based on the fact that the transporting pipe is under the forces of gravity,inner liquid,buoyancy as well as hydrodynamic force,geometric nonlinear finite element theory has been applied to analyzing the transporting system.Conclusions can be drawn as follows.Under the interaction of waves and currents,node forces FX and FZ acted by the transporting pipe on the mining vehicle are less than 2 kN,which indicates that waves and currents have little influence on the spatial shape of the transporting pipe and the mining vehicle movement.On the other hand,the horizontal force acting on the mining ship could be as large as 106 830 N,which has great influence on the mining system.

Dynamics analysis of planar armored cable motion in deep-sea ROV system

The armored cable used in a deep-sea remotely operated vehicle(ROV) may undergo large displacement motion when subjected to dynamic actions of ship heave motion and ocean current. A novel geometrically exact finite element model for two-dimensional dynamic analysis of armored cable is presented. This model accounts for the geometric nonlinearities of large displacement of the armored cable, and effects of axial load and bending stiffness. The governing equations are derived by consistent linearization and finite element discretization of the total weak form of the armored cable system, and solved by the Newmark time integration method. To make the solution procedure avoid falling into the local extreme points, a simple adaptive stepping strategy is proposed. The presented model is validated via actual measured data. Results for dynamic configurations, motion and tension of both ends of the armored cable, and resonance-zone are presented for two numerical cases, including the dynamic analysis under the case of only ship heave motion and the case of joint action of ship heave motion and ocean current. The dynamics analysis can provide important reference for the design or product selection of the armored cable in a deep-sea ROV system so as to improve the safety of its marine operation under the sea state of 4 or above.

A review of flexibility-based finite element method for beam-column elements

For material nonlinear problem,elements derived with the flexibility-based method are more accurate than classical elements derived with the stiffness-based method. A review of the current state of the art of the flexibility-based finite element method is provided to enhance the robustness of structure analysis. The research on beam-column elements is the mainstream in the research on flexibility-based finite element method at present. The original development of flexibility-based finite element method is reviewed, and the further development of this method is then presented in several specific aspects, such as geometrically nonlinear analysis and dynamic analysis. The further research needed to be carried out in the future is finally discussed.

Stability Behavior of Plate Girders with Laterally Unbraced Ends

Stability tests of three plate girders laterally unbraced on both ends, which were scale models of real plate girders in heavy plants for tower-type boilers, are presented and investigated. The applicability of code provisions in ANSI/AISC 360-10 about such members is discussed. A nonlinear finite element analysis was carried out, considering the combined effects of plasticity, residual stress and geometrical imperfections, to simulate the stability behavior of the specimens. The reliability of the numerical model was validated by comparisons with experimental results. The results show that stability behavior of plate girders with laterally unbraced ends is widely different from that of typical simply supported thin-walled beams. The structural response is also sensitive to initial geometrical imperfections of this objects. The model is used to improve the mechanical design of transverse stiffeners over the supports. The positive effect and offsetting influence of imperfections of thicker and additional transverse stiffeners on overall stability behavior are highlighted. A few suggestions for design process are also given.

Static and Buckling Analysis of Concrete Spherical Shells

A finite element analysis, including static and buckling analysis is presented for several notable concrete spherical shells around the world. Also, the structural optimization study of these shells was performed for thickness distribution and structure shape to reduce overall tensile stress, deflection and reinforcements. The finite element analysis using Sofistik software shows that a distributed concrete thickness reduces shell stresses, deflections and reinforcements. A geometrically non-linear analysis of these structures with and without imperfections was also performed. To take into account the possible plastification of the material an analysis with non-linear material was performed simultaneously with the geometrically non-linear analysis. This helps in developing an understanding of the structural behaviour and helps to identify all potential failure causes using failure analysis.

Finite element corotational formulation for geometric nonlinear analysis of thin shells with large rotation and small strain

Based on the consistent symrnetrizable equilibrated （CSE） corotational formulation, a linear triangular flat thin shell element with 3 nodes and 18~ of freedom, constructed by combination of the optimal membrane element and discrete Kirchhoff trian- gle （DKT） bending plate element, was extended to the geometric nonlinear analysis of thin shells with large rotation and small strain. Through derivation of the consistent tangent stiffness matrix and internal force vector, the corotational nonlinear finite element equations were established. The nonlinear equations were solved by using the Newton-Raphson iteration algorithm combined with an automatic load controlled technology. Three typical case studies, i.e., the slit annular thin plate, top opened hemispherical shell and cylindrical shell, validated the accuracy of the formulation established in this paper.
