一种索穹顶结构初始预应力分布确定的新方法——预载回弹法

对索穹顶结构初始预应力分布的确定进行了研究,提出一种新方法—预载回弹法。该方法首先对索穹顶施加一个预设荷载,提取有利于抵抗预设荷载的内力分布。将该组内力作为预应力施加至结构上,并撤除预载,使结构回弹,通过两阶段变弹性模量迭代计算,收敛后可获得索穹顶结构的整体可行预应力分布。该方法通过施加对称荷载,即可自动实现单元的分组,便于整体可行预应力的判定,并可直接获得多自应力模态结构的优化初始预应力分布。通过算例证明预载回弹法具有很高的精度、较快的收敛速度,求得的整体可行预应力分布直接适用于实际工程应用。

Forming and Springback Prediction of Strips Under Multi-square Punch Concave Forming Process Considering Partial-unloading Effects

To further investigate the forming mechanism and springback characteristics of strips under multi-square punch forming (MSPF) considering partial-unloading effects, a series of concave form ing tests of strips are conducted on the MSPF machine. This paper aims to reveal the physical mecha nism of the elastic-plastic deformation in the MSPF process considering the effect of the forming ap proaches, and derive appropriate mathematical interpretations. The theoretical model is firstly estab lished to analyse the concave forming mechanism and springback characteristics of the strip, and its accuracy is then validated by experimental data. The forming history and load evolutions are depicted to explore the required forming capacity through the proposed analytical method. Besides, the paramet ric studies are carried out to discuss their effects on the springback of the strip. The results suggest that the deformation paths of the strip are influenced by the forming approach, and the springback of the strip in convex forming is larger than that in concave forming.
