A spatially curved‐beam element with warping and Wagner effects

This paper presents a new spatially curved‐beam element with warping and Wagner effects that can be used for the non‐linear large displacement analysis of members that are curved in space. The non‐linear behaviour of members curved in space shows that the Wagner effects are substantial in the large twist rotation analysis. Most existing finite beam element models, such as ABAQUS and ANSYS cannot predict the non‐linear large displacement response of members curved in space correctly because the Wagner effects, viz. the Wagner moment and the corresponding finite strain terms, have not been considered in these finite beam elements. As a consequence, these finite beam elements do not provide correct predictions for the out‐of‐plane buckling and postbuckling behaviour of arches as well. In this paper, the symmetric tangent stiffness matrix has been derived based on the finite rotations parameterized by the conventional displacements. The warping and Wagner effects: both the Wagner moment and the corresponding finite strain terms and their constitutive relationship, are included in the spatially curved‐beam element. Two components of the initial curvature, the initial twist and their interactions with the displacements are also considered in the spatially curved‐beam element. This ensures that the large twist rotation analysis for the members curved in space is accurate. Comparisons with existing experimental, analytical and numerical results show that the spatially curved‐beam element is accurate and efficient for the non‐linear elastic analysis of curved members, buckling and postbuckling analysis of arches, and in its ability to predict large deflections and twist rotations in more arbitrarily curved members.

Vibration and buckling of beam-columns subjected to non-uniform axial loads

The small-displacement free vibration of elastic Euler-Bernoulli beams subjected to non-uniform axial forces and the buckling of elastic columns are both analysed by means of various types of beam finite elements. The procedure incorporates beams and columns of varying cross-sections, such as linear tapers, inhomogeneous beams and columns, distributed axial forces, elastic end and interior restraints and point masses with linear and rotary inertias. All of these topics individually or in some combinations have been analysed by others. The purpose of this paper is to bring together under a single umbrella the various problems studied by others, and to provide the solution to one problem apparently not yet solved—the buckling and vibration of tapered columns under non-uniform axial thrust. The mass, stiffness and geometric stiffness matrices for the standard beam element are fully written out for direct incorporation into existing finite element programs. A FORTRAN subroutine for generating these matrices, and those for various higher-order beam elements, is also provided.     

Q460高强钢焊接工字形截面单伸臂梁整体稳定性能与设计方法研究

为研究Q460高强钢焊接工字形截面单伸臂梁的整体稳定性能以及完善规范中关于此类构件的设计方法,进行了6根集中荷载作用下Q460高强钢焊接工字形截面单伸臂梁的整体稳定性能试验,测量了试件的初始几何缺陷和截面残余应力。试验结果表明：当单伸臂梁整体失稳的控制梁段位于简支跨时,单伸臂梁的整体稳定承载力随伸臂长度比的增大而减小,截面高宽比较伸臂长度比对单伸臂梁整体稳定承载力的影响更大。在试验基础上,运用有限元程序创建考虑初始几何缺陷和残余应力的有限元模型对试验进行模拟,模拟结果与试验结果吻合良好;基于试验验证的有限元模型,分析荷载形式、荷载比例、简支跨长度、伸臂跨长度和截面高宽比等因素对Q460高强钢焊接工字形截面单伸臂梁整体稳定承载力的影响规律。基于特征值屈曲分析结果,回归出单伸臂梁的弹性屈曲临界弯矩计算公式,并通过对试验结果和有限元参数分析结果的回归提出了Q460高强钢焊接工字形截面单伸臂梁的极限弯矩计算公式。     

Buckling dynamics of imperfect Elastica subject to various loading conditions

Buckling dynamics of a pinned-pinned flexible imperfect beam attached to a sliding mass is investigated using nonlinear Elastica theory. Initially straight flexible buckling beam having pinned end boundary conditions loaded at one of its end with curved imperfection is considered. Large deflection analysis of flexible beam is studied using nonlinear Elastica theory. Imperfection analysis of the flexible beam is investigated considering the imperfection as an initial curvature. The governing differential equations are expressed in terms of nonlinear functions that are typical of flexible beams, generally leading to highly implicit relationships involving elliptic integrals and functions. Dynamic simulation of the flexible beam is studied using numerical simulation procedures with various types of loading (step, ramp, and sinusoidal) assuming this member buckles in its first mode. Dynamic response of the imperfect buckling Elastica has been obtained by using numerical Runge-Kutta methods. Load deflection characteristics of flexible beams are presented in polynomial curve fits. The polynomial curve fits obtained from nonlinear inextensible exact beam theory may then be used as the nonlinear lumped system stiffness. The buckling Elastica may find applications in compliant mechanism design. The motivation behind this research is not only to present the dynamic behavior of the buckling beam considering the magnitude of the imperfection but also to provide a tool to design new types of compliant mechanisms. Original compliant mechanism designs are presented demonstrating where the buckling dynamics of imperfect Elastica or flexible curved beams might be needed in mechanism design and synthesis.     

Prediction of thermal post buckling and deduction of large amplitude vibration behavior of spring–hinged beams

A general energy formulation to predict the thermal post buckling behavior of uniform isotropic beams is presented in this paper. The hinged ends of the beam contain elastic rotational restraints to represent the actual practical support situation. The large amplitude vibration behavior of beams is deduced from the post buckling results. The classical hinged and clamped conditions can be obtained as the limiting cases of the rotational spring stiffness. The numerical results, in the form of the ratios of the post buckling to buckling loads for various maximum deflection ratios, are presented in the digital form. An alternate independent formulation, based on the nonlinear finite element formulation, is also used in this paper to validate the numerical results of the present work. Further, the results for the large amplitude vibrations, deduced from the thermal post buckling results are also presented and these results compare very well with the finite element results, available in the literature, for the large amplitude vibration problem. These comparisons show an excellent agreement not only for the present work on the proposed thermal post buckling formulation but also on the deduced results for the large amplitude vibration of beams with the ends elastically restrained against rotation (spring–hinged beams). The numerical results presented confirm the efficacy of the proposed methodology used for predicting the post buckling behavior and deducing the large amplitude vibration behavior of the spring–hinged beams.     

夹芯梁结构有效性能的多尺度变分渐近模型

为有效分析夹芯梁结构性能,基于变分渐近法建立多尺度变分渐近模型。首先基于旋转张量分解概念建立三维夹芯梁几何非线性的能量方程;利用梁结构细长和非均质较小的特征,将三维夹芯梁结构各向异性、非均质问题严格分解为宏观层面的梁轴线的一维非线性分析和细观层面的单胞本构分析。基于最小势能原理,通过对单胞应变能泛函变分主导项最小化得到有效属性和波动函数解,代入梁的一维模型进行全局非线性响应分析。利用得到的全局响应、波动函数解重构局部场。由于变分特性,构建多尺度模型可以很容易通过有限元数值实现。通过三类夹芯梁结构算例表明:构建模型得到的全局位移和局部应力场与三维有限元具有很好的一致性,但计算成本和建模工作量明显减少,为结构设计人员在初始设计阶段对夹芯梁结构性能评估提供了一种简洁的途径。      

An intrinsic beam model based on a helicoidal approximation—Part II: Linearization and finite element implementation

The helicoidal beam model developed in the first part of this work is applied here to the development of a mixed finite element for space-curved and twisted beams undergoing large displacements and finite rotations. Starting from the governing weak form expressed by the principle of virtual work, a consistent linearization is obtained in the following and a novel updated Lagrangian finite element implementation is thoroughly discussed. The unique features and the distinguishing properties previously claimed for the helicoidal model are shown here to imply remarkable numerical consequences. For this purpose, meaningful example problems regarding the non-linear static response of beams are addressed in the following and the results are compared with those available from the literature. Furthermore, a finite element in time for the rigid body dynamic problem is developed within the framework of the helicoidal geometry. The underlying philosophy of this novel finite element for dynamics is the realization of the helicoidal decomposition of the rigid body motion within a time step.     

Buckling response of laminated composite stiffened plates subjected to partial in-plane edge loading

This article presents the buckling analysis of laminated composite stiffened plates subjected to partial in-plane edge loading. The finite element method is used to carry out the analysis. The eight-noded isoparametric degenerated shell element with C⁰ continuity and first-order shear deformation and a compatible three-noded curved beam element are used to model the plate skin and the stiffeners, respectively. The eigen value analysis is carried out to track the buckling load. The convergence study is performed for some specific problems and the results are compared with the available results in the literature. It is observed that the convergence of results is very fast for this finite element model. Effect of different parameters like orientation of fibers, number of layers, and loading types are considered in the present investigation. It is also observed that all these parameters have significant effect on the buckling response of the composite stiffened plate.

Effects of approximations in analyses of beams of open thin‐walled cross‐section—part I: Flexural–torsional stability

In formulating a finite element model for the flexural–torsional stability and 3‐D non‐linear analyses of thin‐walled beams, a rotation matrix is usually used to obtain the non‐linear strain–displacement relationships. Because of the coupling between displacements, twist rotations and their derivatives, the components of the rotation matrix are both lengthy and complicated. To facilitate the formulation, approximations have been used to simplify the rotation matrix. A simplified small rotation matrix is often used in the formulation of finite element models for the flexural–torsional stability analysis of thin‐walled beams of open cross‐section. However, the approximations in the small rotation matrix may lead to the loss of some significant terms in the stability stiffness matrix. Without these terms, a finite element line model may predict the incorrect flexural–torsional buckling load of a beam. This paper investigates the effects of approximations in the elastic flexural–torsional stability analysis of thin‐walled beams, while a companion paper investigates the effects of approximations in the 3‐D non‐linear analysis. It is found that a finite element line model based on a small rotation matrix may predict incorrect elastic flexural–torsional buckling loads of beams. To perform a correct flexural–torsional stability analysis of thin‐walled beams, modification of the model is needed, or a finite element model based on a second‐order rotation matrix can be used.

Buckling of composite thin walled beams by refined theory

This work presents the buckling analysis of laminated composite thin walled structures by the 1D finite element based unified higher-order models obtained within the framework of the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). In the present study, the refined beam theories are obtained on the basis of Taylor-type expansions. The finite element analysis has been chosen to easily handle arbitrary geometries as well as boundary conditions. Buckling behavior of laminated composite beam and flat panels are analyzed to illustrate the efficacy of the present formulation and various types of buckling modes are observed depending on the geometrical and material parameters. It is observed that the lower order models are unable to deal with torsion.     

A simple finite element for beams on elastic foundations

A simple "routine" beam on elastic foundation finite element using a polynomial displacement function has been developed which yields acceptably accurate deflection, shear and bending moment values for prismatic or non-prismatic beams of elastic material resting on foundations with varying or nonlinear subgrade reactions. Limited extension of the formulation to an "exact" finite element using the exact displacement function of a beam on elastic foundation has also been carried out. The subgrade is represented by a non-homogeneous solid medium to include nonlinear parameters if required. The iterative solution is extended to cases where the beam may uplift because the foundation is a no tension material. The model is also suitable for calculating the elastic deflections, membrane. and bending stress resultants for axisymmetrically loaded variable thickness shells of revolution. A computer program called FEBEF [finite element: beam on elastic foundation] incorporating the routine finite element has been prepared for the solution of beams on elastic foundations and axi symmetrically loaded shells of revolution.     

On a moderate rotation theory of thin-walled composite beams

A small strain and moderate rotation theory of laminated composite thin-walled beams is formulated by generalizing the classical Vlasov theory of sectorial areas. The proposed beam model accounts for axial, bending, torsion and warping deformations and allows one to predict critical loads and initial post-buckling behaviour. A finite element approximation of the theory is also carried out and several numerical applications are developed with reference to lateral buckling of composite thin-walled members. The sensitivity of critical load to second-order effects in the pre-buckling range is pointed out.
