基于修正混沌控制的一次二阶矩可靠度算法

在结构可靠度指标的求解中,HL-RF迭代算法由于其格式简单,效率高被广泛应用到一次二阶矩计算中。然而该方法仅适用于功能函数非线性程度低的情况,当功能函数非线性程度较高时,HL-RF算法常会出现混沌、振荡和周期解的现象,甚至导致不收敛。该文在混沌控制理论的基础上提出了一种新的修正的混沌控制算法来控制迭代过程中产生的振荡。该方法在保留基于混沌控制方法稳健性的同时提高了计算效率,并对迭代过程中振荡现象引入了一种新的判据。当迭代过程逐渐收敛到最可能失效点时,采用经典的HL-RF算法;当检测到振荡时,采用基于修正混沌控制的迭代算法。算例结果表明:基于修正混沌控制的迭代算法能有效解决迭代中的振荡问题,与经典的HL-RF算法相比,该算法具备效率和稳健性方面的优势。

Surface and nonlocal effects on the nonlinear free vibration of non-uniform nanobeams

The surface and nonlocal effects on the nonlinear flexural free vibrations of elastically supported non-uniform cross section nanobeams are studied simultaneously. The formulations are derived based on both Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (EBT) and Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) independently using Hamilton’s principle in conjunction with Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. Green’s strain tensor together with von Kármán assumptions are employed to model the geometrical nonlinearity. The differential quadrature method (DQM) as an efficient and accurate numerical tool in conjunction with a direct iterative method is adopted to obtain the nonlinear vibration frequencies of nanobeams subjected to different boundary conditions. After demonstrating the fast rate of convergence of the method, it is shown that the results are in excellent agreement with the previous studies in the limit cases. The influences of surface free energy, nonlocal parameter, length of non-uniform nanobeams, variation of nanobeam width and elastic medium parameters on the nonlinear free vibrations are investigated.     

Nonlinear dynamics of composite laminated cantilever rectangular plate subject to third-order piston aerodynamics

This paper presents the analysis of the nonlinear dynamics for a composite laminated cantilever rectangular plate subjected to the supersonic gas flows and the in-plane excitations. The aerodynamic pressure is modeled by using the third-order piston theory. Based on Reddy’s third-order plate theory and the von Kármán-type equation for the geometric nonlinearity, the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion for the composite laminated cantilever rectangular plate under combined aerodynamic pressure and in-plane excitation are derived by using Hamilton’s principle. The Galerkin’s approach is used to transform the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion for the composite laminated cantilever rectangular plate to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system under combined external and parametric excitations. The method of multiple scales is employed to obtain the four-dimensional averaged equation of the non-automatic nonlinear system. The case of 1:2 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance is taken into account. A numerical method is utilized to study the bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of the composite laminated cantilever rectangular plate. The frequency–response curves, bifurcation diagram, phase portrait and frequency spectra are obtained to analyze the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the composite laminated cantilever rectangular plate, which includes the periodic and chaotic motions.

Monte carlo simulation for molecular gas dynamics

The dynamics of low-density flows is governed by the Boltzmann equation of the kinetic theory of gases. This is a nonlinear integro-differential equation and, in general, numerical methods must be used to obtain its solution. The present paper, after a brief review of Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) methods due to Bird, and Belotserkovskii and Yanitskii, studies the details of theDSMC method of Deshpande for mono as well as multicomponent gases. The present method is a statistical particle-in-cell method and is based upon the Kac-Prigogine master equation which reduces to the Boltzmann equation under the hypothesis of molecular chaos. The proposed Markoff model simulating the collisions uses a Poisson distribution for the number of collisions allowed in cells into which the physical space is divided. The model is then extended to a binary mixture of gases and it is shown that it is necessary to perform the collisions in a certain sequence to obtain unbiased simulation. A part of the material in this paper was presented at the Minisymposium 2 of the ICIAM 87 held in Paris during June 29-July 3, 1987.     

Convergence control of the iterative procedure for performance-measure-based probabilistic structural design optimization

The advanced mean value (AMV) iterative scheme is commonly used to evaluate probabilistic constraints in the performance measure approach (PMA) for probabilistic structural design optimization (PSDO). However, the iterative procedure of PSDO may fail to converge. In this article, the chaotic dynamics theory is suggested to investigate and attack the non-convergence difficulties of PMA-based PSDO. Essentially, the AMV iterative formula forms a discrete dynamical system with control parameters. If the AMV iterative sequences present the numerical instabilities of periodic oscillation, bifurcation, and even chaos in some control parameter interval, then the outer optimization loop in PSDO cannot converge and acquire the correct optimal design. Furthermore, the stability transformation method (STM) of chaos feedback control is applied to perform the convergence control of AMV, in order to capture the desired fixed points in the whole control parameter interval. Meanwhile, PSDO is solved by the approaches of PMA two-level and PMA with the sequential approximate programming (SAP)—PMA with SAP. Numerical results of several examples illustrate that STM can smoothly overcome the convergence failure of PSDO resulting from the periodic oscillation, bifurcation, and chaotic solutions of AMV iterative procedure for evaluating the probabilistic constraints. Moreover, the probabilistic optimization with uniform random variables, which is widely recognized as a highly nonlinear and fairly difficult problem, can be attacked through introducing the strategy of chaos control. In addition, the approach of PMA with SAP combining with STM is quite effective and efficient.     

Nonlinear Free Vibration of In-Plane Functionally Graded Rectangular Plates

Nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded (FG) plates with in-plane material inhomogeneity subjected to different boundary conditions is presented. The nonlinear equations of motion and the related boundary conditions are extracted based on the classical plate theory. Green's strain tensor together with von Kármán assumptions is employed to model the geometrical nonlinearity. The differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical tool is employed to discretize the governing equations in spatial domain. After validating the presented approach, parametric studies are performed to clarify the effects of different parameters on the nonlinear frequency parameters of the in-plane FG plates.     

A comprehensive Bayesian approach for model updating and quantification of modeling errors

This paper presents a comprehensive Bayesian approach for structural model updating which accounts for errors of different kinds, including measurement noise, nonlinear distortions stemming from the linearization of the model, and modeling errors due to the limited predictability of the latter. In particular, this allows the computation of any type of statistics on the updated parameters, such as joint or marginal probability density functions, or confidence intervals. The present work includes four main contributions that make the Bayesian updating approach feasible with general numerical models: (1) the proposal of a specific experimental protocol based on multisine excitations to accurately assess measurement errors in the frequency domain; (2) two possible strategies to represent the modeling error as additional random variables to be inferred jointly with the model parameters; (3) the introduction of a polynomial chaos expansion that provides a surrogate mapping between the probability spaces of the prior random variables and the model modal parameters; (4) the use of an evolutionary Monte Carlo Markov Chain which, in conjunction with the polynomial chaos expansion, can sample the posterior probability density function of the updated parameters at a very reasonable cost. The proposed approach is validated by numerical and experimental examples.     

Nonlinear dynamics of rectangular plates: investigation of modal interaction in free and forced vibrations

Nonlinear vibrations of thin rectangular plates are considered, using the von kármán equations in order to take into account the effect of geometric nonlinearities. Solutions are derived through an expansion over the linear eigenmodes of the system for both the transverse displacement and the Airy stress function, resulting in a series of coupled oscillators with cubic nonlinearities, where the coupling coefficients are functions of the linear eigenmodes. A general strategy for the calculation of these coefficients is outlined, and the particular case of a simply supported plate with movable edges is thoroughly investigated. To this extent, a numerical method based on a new series expansion is derived to compute the Airy stress function modes, for which an analytical solution is not available. It is shown that this strategy allows the calculation of the nonlinear coupling coefficients with arbitrary precision, and several numerical examples are provided. Symmetry properties are derived to speed up the calculation process and to allow a substantial reduction in memory requirements. Finally, analysis by continuation allows an investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of the first two modes both in the free and forced regimes. Modal interactions through internal resonances are highlighted, and their activation in the forced case is discussed, allowing to compare the nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of the undamped system with the observable periodic orbits of the forced and damped structure.     

Nonlinear finite element analyses of FRP-reinforced concrete slabs using a new layered composite plate element

A simple and shear-flexible rectangular composite layered plate element and nonlinear finite element analysis procedures are developed in this paper for nonlinear analysis of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)-reinforced concrete slabs. The composite layered plate element is constructed based on Mindlin–Reissner plate theory and Timoshenko’s composite beam functions, and transverse shear effects and membrane-bending coupling effects are accounted for. Both geometric nonlinearity and material nonlinearity of the materials, which incorporates tension, compression, tension stiffening and cracking of the concrete, are included in the new model. The developed element and the nonlinear finite element analysis procedures are validated by comparing the computed numerical results of numerical examples with those obtained from experimental investigations and from the commercial finite element analysis package ABAQUS. The element is then employed to investigate the nonlinear structural behavior and the cracking progress of a clamped two-way FRP-reinforced concrete slab. The influences of reinforcement with different materials, ratio and layout in tension or compressive regions on structural behavior of the clamped slabs are investigated by parametric studies.     

Chaos Synchronization in Josephson Junctions

In this paper, we have discussed the application of new nonlinear recursive controllers on Josephson junction (JJ) chaotic systems. Controlling bifurcation as well as chaos has been rapidly advancing in the last decade. Thus, emphasis has been placed on control design techniques which result in prescribed nonlinear performance dynamics for practical controlled processes. This study has shown that a nonlinear recursive controller is effective in controlling an undesirable JJ chaotic behavior. In addition to that, the synchronization of two JJ chaotic nonlinear dynamical systems can be used to advantage in communication systems. In fact, communication security is promising through chaos. Using nonlinear control method, we have demonstrated that it is possible to achieve synchronization in electronic circuits such as JJ. The study showed the effectiveness of the designed controller in communication signal synchronization. For the purpose of verification and comparison, we designed a control signal based on master and slave concept.

Topological characterization of deterministic chaos: enforcing orientation preservation

The determinism principle, which states that dynamical state completely determines future time evolution, is a keystone of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. Since it precludes that two state space trajectories intersect, it is a core ingredient of a topological analysis of chaos based on a knot-theoretic characterization of unstable periodic orbits embedded in a strange attractor. However, knot theory can be applied only to three-dimensional systems. Still, determinism applies in any dimension. We propose an alternative framework in which this principle is enforced by constructing an orientation-preserving dynamics on triangulated surfaces and find that in three dimensions our approach numerically predicts the correct topological entropies for periodic orbits of the horseshoe map.

A family of noniterative integration methods with desired numerical dissipation

A new family of unconditionally stable integration methods for structural dynamics has been developed, which possesses the favorable numerical dissipation properties that can be continuously controlled. In particular, it can have zero damping. This numerical damping is helpful to suppress or even eliminate the spurious participation of high frequency modes, whereas the low frequency modes are almost unaffected. The most important improvement of this family method is that it involves no nonlinear iterations for each time step, and thus it is very computationally efficient when compared with a general second‐order accurate integration method, such as the constant average acceleration method.
