Iterative finite element model of nonlinear viscoplastic analyses for blended granular porous media

The iterative finite element model, in which an element is used to represent a single particle, is generated to analyze the global behavior of multiple-material aggregates of materially nonlinear viscoplastic particles. The generalized Maxwell model is used to define four types of specific nonlinear viscoplastic materials, which are the elasto visco-plastic matter with linear viscosity, the plasto visco-plastic material with linear viscosity, the elasto visco-plastic media with nonlinear viscosity, and the plasto visco-plastic media with nonlinear viscosity. The theory and relevant penalty iterative algorithm are developed to analyze the four representative mixed granular systems consisting of materially nonlinear viscous particles. To verify precision of stress calculation, solutions of an axis-symmetric radial flow problem are compared with results of the literature and they are in a great agreement. The results present here provide significant insight into the fundamental behavior of granular media under compaction conditions, including prediction of the overall aggregates stress-strain response.     

Thermomechanical Models of Irreversible Finite Deformation of Anisotropic Solids

The proposed models for irreversible finite deformation of initially anisotropic solids are based on the hypothesis of the parameters of state, for which the authors have chosen a universal parameter (temperature) and a strain component, which is analogous to volume strains in an isotropic body and represents thermal strains of an unconstrained (stress-free) anisotropic solid. The application of this hypothesis allows the strain tensor to be resolved into a reversible and irreversible components. For irreversible processes of finite deformation of hardenable materials, the authors have proposed a deformation-type model, which makes it possible to describe a change in the type of anisotropy of initially anisotropic materials in the course of deformation. For the flow-theory-type model, the limiting state function, as given in the space of irreversible strains, allows for the experimentally observed plastic flow of anisotropic crystals under the action of hydrostatic pressure only.     

Comparison of finite element reliability methods

The spectral stochastic finite element method (SSFEM) aims at constructing a probabilistic representation of the response of a mechanical system, whose material properties are random fields. The response quantities, e.g. the nodal displacements, are represented by a polynomial series expansion in terms of standard normal random variables. This expansion is usually post-processed to obtain the second-order statistical moments of the response quantities. However, in the literature, the SSFEM has also been suggested as a method for reliability analysis. No careful examination of this potential has been made yet. In this paper, the SSFEM is considered in conjunction with the first-order reliability method (FORM) and with importance sampling for finite element reliability analysis. This approach is compared with the direct coupling of a FORM reliability code and a finite element code. The two procedures are applied to the reliability analysis of the settlement of a foundation lying on a randomly heterogeneous soil layer. The results are used to make a comprehensive comparison of the two methods in terms of their relative accuracies and efficiencies.     

Material state remapping in computational solid mechanics

A computational procedure for remapping material state information from one finite element mesh to another is described. The procedure is useful in connection with evolving meshes for inelastic problems, as for example occur in the context of fracture simulation and adaptive mesh refinement. The proposed method is based on weak enforcement of equality between corresponding fields on the two meshes, where piecewise‐constant fields on both meshes are generalized from the quadrature‐point values. The essential algorithmic problem is that of calculating the volume partition of an arbitrary convex region with respect to a covering set of disjoint convex regions. Instead of geometrically resolving the associated intersections, the problem is herein approximated by a constrained optimization problem, which may be readily and efficiently solved computationally. This formulation is a main contribution of the paper. Computational examples are given that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

铝电解槽磁流体稳定性有限元分析

本文采用有限元法求解分层磁流体小扰动方程系统特征值，研究铝电解槽稳定性。研究结果表明，在没有电磁力时，铝液表面波动（内波）是稳定的。存在电磁力时，它会激发铝液表面波动的某些低频长波分量不稳定性，高频短波不受影响。被激发的不稳定波动频率和扰动增长率与电流密度，磁感应强度垂直分量，铝电解槽长宽比，电解质和铝液的密度差，厚度等因素密切相关。减少电流密度，磁感应强度，增加电极距离和铝液厚度可以提高铝电解槽的稳定性。这对铝电解槽优化设计和在线控制有重要意义。     

Lower bound limit analysis using non‐linear programming

This paper describes a new formulation, based on linear finite elements and non‐linear programming, for computing rigorous lower bounds in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions. The resulting optimization problem is typically very large and highly sparse and is solved using a fast quasi‐Newton method whose iteration count is largely independent of the mesh refinement. For two‐dimensional applications, the new formulation is shown to be vastly superior to an equivalent formulation that is based on a linearized yield surface and linear programming. Although it has been developed primarily for geotechnical applications, the method can be used for a wide range of plasticity problems including those with inhomogeneous materials, complex loading, and complicated geometry.
