In this current work, a new methodology based on the square of mode shape curvature (SMSC) is presented that relates the mode shapes and its curvature changes before and after the damage for localization and sizing of the surface crack in plate-type structures. The significance of this method is it has the capability to portray accurate shape and exact location of the surface crack in a plate-like structure which are related to low and high elastic modes on dense and coarse measurement grids. The efficiency of the proposed SMSC is examined using experimental and numerical data acquired from modal analysis on the aluminum plate containing single and multi-surface cracks with a fixed-free condition using non-contact measurement a scanning laser vibrometer and on simple finite element plate model. As evidence of experimental and numerical study results, highly accurate crack characterization has been attained through the proposed method. In implementing this method, only a few modes of the structure are required. Further, the impact of the mode order on the effectiveness of crack detection, boundary distortion treatment, and grid density analysis was also performed by the proposed method.

In this paper, an improved flat triangular shell element is proposed. This element has three nodes, and in each node, six degrees of freedom are considered. Since there are three rotational degrees of freedom at each node, the drilling effect can be incorporated in authors' formulation. A new procedure is also suggested for updating the director vectors about which the rotational degrees of freedom are defined. In order to study large displacements and rotations, Total Lagrangian principles are employed. In addition, updating the rotational degrees of freedom is implemented using enriched updated director vectors, which are formulated based on the finite rotation method. On the other hand, small strains are considered in this formulation. By utilizing MITC method, shear and membrane locking is mitigated from new element. To examine the performance, the element passes three basic tests, including isotropy, and patch test. Moreover, a convergence study is also implemented to show the elemental behavior. Several popular benchmarks are considered to illustrate the accuracy and capability of the suggested element in geometrically nonlinear analyses.

Drilling monitoring aims at anticipating and detecting any drill string failures during well construction. A key element for the monitoring activity is the estimation of friction along the wellbore trajectory. Friction models require the evaluation of the actual wellbore trajectory. This evaluation is performed applying any of various reconstruction methods available in the industry to discrete deviation measurements. Although all these methods lead to nearly identical bit location, friction estimations are highly dependent on reconstruction methods due to huge dierences in the trajectory derivatives. To control this instability, a new reliable estimation of wellbore friction using a nonlinear trajectory smoothing process is introduced. This process uses a multi-scale approach and a specic nonlinear smoothing through subdivision schemes and their related decimation schemes. Two smoothing processes are compared: one using an interpolatory subdivision operator, and the other, a non-interpolatory subdivision operator. Validation has been performed on a synthetic plane noisy trajectory. The non-interpolatory process provides trajectory derivatives estimate much closer to those of the initial trajectory. Both processes have been applied to a real three-dimensional wellbore trajectory, improving signicantly the friction estimates.

This paper studies the dispersion of elastic waves in isotropic media discretized by the finite element method. The element stiffness matrix is split into basic and higher order components which are respectively related to the mean and deviatoric components of the element strain field. This decomposition is applied to the elastic energy of the finite element assemblage. By a dispersion analysis the higher order elastic energy is related to the elastic energy error for the propagating waves. An averaged correlation is proposed and successfully tested as an error indicator for finite element vibration eigenmodes.

The sloshing phenomenon has exceptional significance due to its occurrence in various processes as well as its application. This phenomenon occurs when a vessel is partly filled with a fluid and under the influence of external forces the free surface of the liquid moves and exchanges forces with the wall of the vessel. In this research, numerical modeling is used to study the behavior of ferrofluid in sloshing phenomenon in a rectangular container with a specified length and width of 10 cm × 5 cm respectively. The force that moves the vessel is the oscillatory motion in the x-axis direction. Applying a uniform magnetic force, which creates additional modules in the governing equations, such as the momentum equation, has effects on this phenomenon and fluid motion. The main aim of this research is to study the effects of the uniform MHD field in different directions and angles on the ferrofluid sloshing. By studying the results of some factors (such as; the pressure of the ferrofluid to the specific points on the vessel wall, the maximum surface at any time, and the analysis of the surface situation at different times) the impact of the magnetic field with different angles has been identified on the ferrofluid sloshing. The results showed that in the absence of an external magnetic field, the sloshing behavior of water and ferrofluid were approximately the same. Applying the MHDmagnetic field caused a 14.5%, 25% and 36% decrease in the maximum height of the fluid level at angles 0◦, 45◦ and 90◦ of magnetic field respectively. Therefore, these results indicate the influence of the magnetic field direction on the behavior of the ferrofluid sloshing.
晃动现象在各种生产过程中都有发生,其应用也非常广泛。这种现象发生在当一个容器部分充满了流体,并且在外力的影响下,液体的自由表面移动并与容器壁交换力。本文采用数值模拟方法研究了铁磁流体在长10 cm × 5 cm矩形容器内的晃动行为。推动容器的力是在x轴方向上的振荡运动。施加均匀磁力会在控制方程(如动量方程)中产生额外的模块,从而对这种现象和流体运动产生影响。本研究的主要目的是研究不同方向和角度的均匀磁流体场对铁磁流体晃动的影响。通过研究一些因素(如;确定了铁磁流体对容器壁上特定点的压力,任意时刻的最大表面,以及不同时刻表面情况的分析,确定了不同角度的磁场对铁磁流体晃动的影响。结果表明,在没有外加磁场的情况下,水和铁磁流体的晃动行为基本相同。施加高密度磁场,在0◦、45◦和90◦磁场角度下,液面最大高度分别降低了14.5%、25%和36%。因此,这些结果表明了磁场方向对铁磁流体晃动行为的影响。

At present, the numerical simulation on the aerodynamic response and force of the iced conductor are mainly based on the quasi steady criterion, which ignored the interaction between the conductor and the flow field. This paper presents a numerical study of three kinds of fluid-structure interaction models for D-shape conductor. The effects of reduced velocity, degree of freedom and wind attack angle on aerodynamic response of the iced conductor are discussed. The results show that the rotational freedom has certain influence on the across-wind vibration. The mean value of drag coefficient decreases with the increase of wind attack angle, while the lift and moment coefficient increase with the increase of wind attack angle. When the maximum amplitude of vibration displacement occurs, the corresponding reduced velocity is not entirely consistent with that of the maximum aerodynamic force.

The current contribution is centered on bending of rectangular plates using the finite element method in the strain-gradient elasticity. To this aim, following introducing stresses and strains for a plate based on the Kirchhoff hypothesis, the principle of the virtual work is adopted to derive the weak form. Building upon Hermite polynomials and by deeming convergence requirements, four rectangular elements for the static analysis of strain-gradient plates are presented. To explore the performance of the proposed elements, particularly in small scales, some problems are solved and the results are compared with analytical solutions.

In the present research, buckling behaviour of an isotropic homogeneous rotating annular plate subjected to uniform compression on both inner and outer edges is analysed. It is further assumed that the plate is rotatingwith a constant angular speed. Formulation is based on the first order shear deformation plate theory, which is valid for thin and moderately thick plates. The complete set of equilibrium quations and the associated boundary conditions are obtained for the plate. Prebuckling loads of the plate are obtained under flatness and axisymmetric deformations. Using the adjacent equilibrium riterion, the linearised stability equations are extracted. An asymmetric stability analysis is performed to obtain the critical buckling loads of the plate and the buckled configurations of the rotating plate. To this end, trigonometric functions through the circumferential direction and the generalised differential quadrature discretization across the radial direction are used which result in an algebraic eigenvalue problem. Benchmark results are given in graphical presentations for combinations of free, simply-supported, sliding supported, and clamped types of boundary conditions. It is shown that rotation enhances the buckling loads of the plate for all types of boundary conditions and alters the buckled shape of the plate.

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the static and free vibration validation of a new three-dimensional brick finite element based on the strain approach. The developed element possesses nine nodes and 3 degrees of freedom (U, V and W) per node. The displacements field is based on the assumed functions for the various components of strain which satisfy both the compatibility equations and equilibrium equations. The performances of this element for different problems are assessed using several beams, thick and thin plates bending with various shapes. The developed element is implemented in the ABAQUS code. Static and free vibration behaviours are considered in this study. Their results are compared with analytical and numerical solutions taken from literature. The obtained results show the excellent performances and accuracy of the present element.
