A dynamic topology optimization method of bi-material plate structures is presented based on power flow analysis. Topology optimization problems formulated directly with the design objective of minimizing the power flow response are dealt with. In comparison to the displacement or velocity response, the power flow response takes not only the amplitude of force and velocity into account, but also the phase relationship of the two vector quantities. The complex expression of power flow response is derived based on time-harmonic external mechanical loading and Rayleigh damping. The mathematical formulation of topology optimization is established based on power flow response and bi-material solid isotropic material with penalization(SIMP) model. Computational optimization procedure is developed by using adjoint design sensitivity analysis and the method of moving asymptotes(MMA). Several numerical examples are presented for bi-material plate structures with different loading frequencies, which verify the feasibility and effectiveness of this method. Additionally, optimum results between topological design of minimum power flow response and minimum dynamic compliance are compared, showing that the present method has strong adaptability for structural dynamic topology optimization problems. The proposed research provides a more accurate and effective approach for dynamic topology optimization of vibrating structures.展开更多

This m...The development and rapid usage of numerical codes for fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problems are of great relevance to researchers in many engineering fields such as civil engineering and ocean engineering. This multidisciplinary field known as FSI has been expanded to engineering fields such as offshore structures, tall slender structures and other flexible structures applications. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the numerical model of two-way coupling FSI partitioned flexible plate structure under fluid flow. The adopted partitioned method and approach utilized the advantage of the existing numerical algorithms in solving the two-way coupling fluid and structural interactions. The flexible plate was subjected to a fluid flow which causes large deformation on the fluid domain from the oscillation of the flexible plate. Both fluid and flexible plate are subjected to the interaction of load transfer within two physics by using the strong and weak coupling methods of MFS and Load Transfer Physics Environment, respectively. The oscillation and deformation results have been validated which demonstrate the reliability of both strong and weak method in resolving the two-way coupling problem in contribution of knowledge to the feasibility field study of ocean engineering and civil engineering.展开更多

A model of buckling topology optimization is established based on the independent, continuous, and mapping method, which considers structural mass as objective and buckling critical loads as constraints. Firstly, composite exponential function (CEF) and power function (PF) as filter functions are introduced to recognize the element mass, the element stiffness matrix, and the element geometric stiffness matrix. The filter functions of the orthotropic material stiffness are deduced. Then these filter functions are put into buckling topology optimization of a differential equation to analyze the design sensitivity. Furthermore, the buckling constraints are approximately expressed as explicit functions with respect to the design variables based on the first-order Taylor expansion. The objective function is standardized based on the second-order Taylor expansion. Therefore, the optimization model is translated into a quadratic program. Finally, the dual sequence quadratic programming (DSQP) algorithm and the global convergence method of moving asymptotes algorithm with two different filter functions (CEF and PF) are applied to solve the optimal model. Three numerical results show that DSQP&CEF has the best performance in the view of structural mass and discretion.展开更多

文摘The conventional admittance approach utilizing statistical evaluation metrics offers limited information about the damage location,especially when damage introduces nonlinearities in admittance features.This study proposes a novel automated damage localization method for plate-like structures based on deep learning of raw admittance signals.A one-dimensional(1D)convolutional neural network(CNN)-based model is designed to automate processing of raw admittance response and prediction of damage probabilities across multiple locations in a monitored structure.Raw admittance data set is augmented with white noise to simulate realistic measurement conditions.Stratified K-fold cross-validation technique is employed for training and testing the network.The experimental validation of the proposed method shows that the proposed method can accurately identify the state and damage location in the plate with an average accuracy of 98%.Comparing with established 1D CNN models reveals superior performance of the proposed method,with significantly lower testing error.The proposed method exhibits the ability to directly handle raw electromechanical admittance responses and extract optimal features,overcoming limitations associated with traditional piezoelectric admittance approaches.By eliminating the need for signal preprocessing,this method holds promise for real-time damage monitoring of plate structures.

文摘A lightweight composite resonator,consisting of a soft material acoustic black hole(SABH)and multiple vibration absorbers,is embedded in a plate to achieve localization and absorption of low-frequency vibration energy.The combination of local and global admissible functions for displacement enhances the accuracy of the Ritz method in predicting vibration localization characteristics within the SABH domain.Utilizing soft materials for the SABH can reduce the mass and frequency of the composite resonator.Due to the lack of orthogonality between global vibration modes and localized modes,the low-frequency localized modes induced by the SABH are used to shape the initial global modes,thereby concentrating the global vibration of the plate in the SABH region.Consequently,the absorbers of the composite resonator only need to be a small fraction of the mass of the local SABH to achieve substantial vibration control of the host plate.This vibration localization strategy can significantly reduce the vibration amplitude of the host plate and enhance the effectiveness of lightweight absorbers in vibration reduction.

文摘A buckling-restrained steel plate shear wall(BRSPSW)structure with butterfly-shaped links on the lateral sides is introduced to improve the cooperative perfor-mance between the BRSPSW and the boundary frames.A one-span two-story concrete-filled steel tube(CFT)column frame specimen equipped with lateral-side butterfly-shaped linked BRSPSWs(LBL-BRSPSWs)is evaluated under low-cycle reversed loading.A finite element(FE)model is developed and validated based on the test results.This FE model accurately simulates the failure modes and load-dis-placement curves.Parametric analyses are conducted on the butterfly-shaped links.The results show that the interactions between the CFT column frame and LBL-BRSPSWs are sig-nificantly influenced by the width ratio of the butterfly-shaped links,while the taper ratio and aspect ratio have relatively minor influences.Compared with traditional steel shear walls with four-sided connections,LBL-BRSPSWs reduce the additional axial forces and bending moments in the frame columns by 28%to 73%and 17%to 87%,respectively,with only a 9%to 30%decrease in the lateral resistance.The experimental and parametric analysis results indicate that setting butterfly-shaped links on the lateral sides of BRSPSWs can significantly enhance their cooperative performance with the boundary frame.The butterfly-shaped link width ratio has a linear relationship with the lateral-resistance performance of the specimens and the additional internal forces in the frame columns.To ensure that LBL-BRSPSW fails prior to the column frames,the link width ratio should be optimized.
文摘The development and rapid usage of numerical codes for fluid-structure interaction(FSI) problems are of great relevance to researchers in many engineering fields such as civil engineering and ocean engineering. This multidisciplinary field known as FSI has been expanded to engineering fields such as offshore structures, tall slender structures and other flexible structures applications. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the numerical model of two-way coupling FSI partitioned flexible plate structure under fluid flow. The adopted partitioned method and approach utilized the advantage of the existing numerical algorithms in solving the two-way coupling fluid and structural interactions. The flexible plate was subjected to a fluid flow which causes large deformation on the fluid domain from the oscillation of the flexible plate. Both fluid and flexible plate are subjected to the interaction of load transfer within two physics by using the strong and weak coupling methods of MFS and Load Transfer Physics Environment, respectively. The oscillation and deformation results have been validated which demonstrate the reliability of both strong and weak method in resolving the two-way coupling problem in contribution of knowledge to the feasibility field study of ocean engineering and civil engineering.

文摘The purpose of the present work is to study the buckling problem with plate/shell topology optimization of orthotropic material. A model of buckling topology optimization is established based on the independent, continuous, and mapping method, which considers structural mass as objective and buckling critical loads as constraints. Firstly, composite exponential function (CEF) and power function (PF) as filter functions are introduced to recognize the element mass, the element stiffness matrix, and the element geometric stiffness matrix. The filter functions of the orthotropic material stiffness are deduced. Then these filter functions are put into buckling topology optimization of a differential equation to analyze the design sensitivity. Furthermore, the buckling constraints are approximately expressed as explicit functions with respect to the design variables based on the first-order Taylor expansion. The objective function is standardized based on the second-order Taylor expansion. Therefore, the optimization model is translated into a quadratic program. Finally, the dual sequence quadratic programming (DSQP) algorithm and the global convergence method of moving asymptotes algorithm with two different filter functions (CEF and PF) are applied to solve the optimal model. Three numerical results show that DSQP&CEF has the best performance in the view of structural mass and discretion.
文摘Due to their simple structure,crooked plates are widely processed into energy absorption structures.There are obvious differences in the final deformation of crooked plates with different materials and dynamic conditions under the impact of constant-input kinetic energy.To better understand this phenomenon,we solved the Zhang-Yu equation with Maple software,obtained the law of generalized coordinates(rotation angle)of the energy absorber changing with time,and compared the energy absorption capacity of a crooked plate energy absorber under different parameters.To better understand how the motion of the energy absorber is affected by the change of parameters,we calculated the phase diagram of the energy absorber dynamics.After many numerical simulations,we found that the four-crooked plate energy absorber should have a mass-sensitive structure.We established the finite element model of dynamic buckling of mild steel and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy,and compared it with the Calladine-English dynamic experiment and Zhang-Yu rigid viscoplastic model.The results show that:(1)the Zhang-Yu rigid viscoplastic model has more guiding significance for mild steel(strain rate-sensitive material),and has greater error for 6061-T6 aluminum alloy(strain rate-insensitive material),and the prediction error further increases with the initial angle;and(2)by modifying the equivalent plastic length A of a plastic hinge according to the finite element model,the prediction accuracy of the Zhang-Yu rigid viscoplastic model can be improved.Our research results certain guiding significance for the design and manufacture of energy-absorbing structures of crooked plates.

文摘The intersection is a widely used traffic line structure from the shallow tunnel to the deep roadway,and determining the subsidence hidden danger area of the roof is the key to its stability control.However,applying traditional maximum equivalent span beam(MESB)theory to determine deformation range,peak point,and angle influence poses a challenge.Considering the overall structure of the intersection roof,the maximum equivalent triangular plate(METP)theory is proposed,and its geometric parameter calculation formula and deflection calculation formula are obtained.The application of the two theories in 18 models with different intersection angles,roadway types,and surrounding rock lithology is verified by numerical analysis.The results show that:1)The METP structure of the intersection roof established by the simulation results of each model successfully determined the location of the roof’s high displacement zone;2)The area comparison method of the METP theory can be reasonably explained:①The roof subsidence of the intersection decreases with the increase of the intersection angle;②The roof subsidence at the intersection of different roadway types has a rectangular type>arch type>circular type;③The roof subsidence of the intersection with weak surrounding rock is significantly larger than that of the intersection with hard surrounding rock.According to the application results of the two theories,the four advantages of the METP theory are compared and clarified in the basic assumptions,mechanical models,main viewpoints,and mechanism analysis.The large deformation inducement of the intersection roof is then explored.The J 2 peak area of the roof drives the large deformation of the area,the peak point of which is consistent with the center of gravity position of the METP.Furthermore,the change in the range of this peak is consistent with the change law of the METP’s area.Hence,this theory clarifies the large deformation area of the intersection roof,which provides a clear guiding basis for its initial support design,mid-term monitoring,and late local reinforcement.
文摘ZSM-5 plates with a perpendicular intergrowth structure was synthesized by using a simple amine as the structure directing agent under hydrothermal conditions,in which the mother plate and the perpendicularly standing plates oriented along the(010)and(100)planes of MFI crystals,respectively.During the crystallization process,the mother plate was initially formed on the surface of the amorphous solid gel,while a set of parallel plates perpendicularly grew on its surface,via a homogeneous nucleation mechanism.The mother plate and the perpendicular plates had a similar thickness of 100-200 nm and were characterized by considerably shortened straight and zigzag 10 member ring pores,respectively.This unique intergrowth structure greatly facilitated the diffusion of the reactive molecules in HZSM-5 crystals during methanol conversion to hydrocarbons.
文摘To further understand the dynamic deformation and impact resistance of thin-plate hull structure under impulse wave,the deformation of multi-layer steel plates under underwater impulsive loading has been studied by AUTODYN V6.1.In order to verify the validity of numerical methods,the experimental results are compared with the simulation results.The multi-layer plate types include 1 mm + 3 mm,2 mm + 2 mm,3 mm + 1 mm double-layer,and 4 mm monolayer annealed 304 stainless steel plates.Each type of target plates has four flyer plate's velocities.There are 150,200,250 m /s and 300 m /s.The pressure wave histories in water and deformation of specimens have been predicted and measured by numerical simulations.The simulation results demonstrate that the protective capacity of 2mm + 2mm double-layer annealed 304 stainless steel plates is the best one in this velocity range of flyer plate,as the integral deformation is the smallest among the four structure types.

文摘A structural displacement field reconstruction method is proposed to aim at the problems of deformation mon-itoring and displacement field reconstruction of flexible plate-like structures in the aerospace field.This method combines the deep neural network model of the cross-layer connection structure with the fiber grating sensor network.This paper first introduces the principle of strain detection of fiber grating sensor,studies the mapping relationship between strain and displacement,and proposes a strain-displacement conversion model based on an improved neural network.Then the intelligent structure deformation monitoring system is built.By controlling the stepping distance of the motor to produce different deformations of the plate structure,the strain information and real displacement information are obtained based on the high-density fiber grating sensor network and the dial indicator array.Finally,based on the deformation prediction model obtained by training,the displacement field reconstruction of the structure under different deformation states is realized.Experimental results show that the mean absolute error of the deformation of the measuring points obtained by this method is less than 0.032 mm.This method is feasible in theory and practice and can be applied to the deformation monitoring of aerospace vehicle structures.
