title: Neuro-Fuzzy modal control of smart laminated composite structures modeled via mixed theory and high-order shear deformation theory

description: Abstract The present study develops and applies a neuro-fuzzy modal vibration control of smart laminated composite structures with piezoelectric layers via Mixed theory. Differently from previous studies, the composite structures in this paper are modeled via the Mixed Theory using the High-order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT) theory. The Mixed Theory adopts a single layer when representing the mechanical displacement field, through HSDT theory, and multiple layers (Layerwise theory) for the electrical degrees of freedom. The Mixed Theory is computationally implemented in the Matlab® software using a plate-type element called Serendipity. Moreover, a neuro-fuzzy active vibration controller is implemented to attenuate the vibration of the smart composite structures. The numerical results validate the electric-mechanical coupling adopted, showing the importance of the mixed theory in the static and dynamic modeling of slender beams and plates with piezoelectric layers. Finally, the results of the robustness analysis indicate that the neuro-fuzzy controller has benefits compared with the linear quadratic regulator.

title: Strain-degradation analysis of tunnel structures based on twin-shear unified strength criterion

description: Abstract This paper focuses on the stability analysis of tunnel structures with a circular hollow section based on the with a strain-degradation model using unified strength theory. A simplified numerical approach is proposed for analyzing the elasto-plastic behavior of surrounding rocks. A constitutive equation is proposed based on the unified strength theory and the strain degradation behavior was taken into account as well with deviatoric plastic strain chosen as the degradation parameter. Meanwhile, the plastic potential function can be obtained with the associated flow rule, by which the surrounding rocks can be classified as plastic zone and elastic zone. The solution in plastic zones adopted the differential method subdividing surrounding rock into infinitesimal concentric annuli, in which the radial stresses decrease monotonically with a decrease in radial coordinate. The relationship of the increment of stresses and the increment of strains in adjacent annuli can be derived from equilibrium, constitutive and geometrical equations. The numerical solution of each annulus is calculated from the outmost annulus at the elastic-plastic interface. In addition, the impact of the intermediate principal stress factor and the critical degradation parameter on the solution, and the factors of influence on plastic radius are discussed.

title: Analysis of the Influence of Residual Stress on Fatigue Life of Welded Joints

description: Abstract This work presents a new computational approach to estimate the fatigue life in welded joints, taking into account three-dimensional, non-proportional, and out-of-phase stresses; the thermomechanical properties of steel; parameters of the welding process; and the effects of residual stresses. We use the mechanical equations of continuous and cumulative fatigue damage found from Multiaxial RainFlow, the Wang and Brown and critical plane methods, and the Findley criteria approach. The numerical finite element method, available with software, is used to simulate the formation of residual stress and quantify its influence by solving equations. Based on the analysis of numerical results, we were able to prevision the crack location and angles of propagation of a high cycle fatigue crack with totally random loads in a metallic structure. We conclude that the result of the computational method is valid and can be used to estimate and life in fatigue in welded joints.

title: Second-order inelastic analysis of shallow and non-shallow steel arches

description: Abstract This work presents a second-order inelastic analysis of steel arches. The analysis of shallow and non-shallow arches with several cross sections and boundary and loads conditions are discussed. The computational platform used is the homemade CS-ASA, which performs advanced nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of structures. The nonlinear geometric effects are considered using a co-rotational finite element formulation; the material inelasticity is simulated by coupling the Refined Plastic Hinge Method (RPHM) with the Strain Compatibility Method (SCM), and the static nonlinear solution is based on an incremental-iterative strategy including continuation techniques. In the simulated nonlinear steel arch models, special attention is given to the equilibrium paths, the influence of rise-to-span ratio, support and loading conditions and full yield curves among other factors. The numerical results obtained show good agreement with those from literature and highlight that the arch rise-to-span ratio has great influence on the structure resistance and that the shallow arches can lose stability through the snap-through phenomenon.

title: Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Battened Built-up Lightweight Concrete Encased Composite Columns subjected to Axial Cyclic loading

description: Abstract In the recent era, built-up columns have been continuously used by the engineers in the design and analysis of tall buildings and bridges. Vibration analysis of these types of columns is essential to understand the failure modes of such columns. In that aspect, this study aims to analyze a concrete-encased built-up column made by configuring cold-formed steel angle sections connected by means of battens encased by normal weight and lightweight concrete with and without the inclusion of basalt fibre. Eight columns with battens were simulated, and it is encased with four different types of concrete and subjected to axial cyclic loading. The experimental results were correlated with the numerical investigation performed using FEA. The results indicated that the type of concrete dramatically influences the behaviour of columns. Higher ultimate strength and ductility was observed for all specimens, which is due to lower shear capacity of the battens. It was observed that the intensity of the axial cyclic load has a significant effect on the ultimate strength and deflection of columns, but it is less influential on the yield strength. It was concluded the results of experimental and FEA shows good compatibility between each other and depicts an error of 7.48%.

title: Nonlinear structural behavior and vibration control of a double curved cable net under the dynamic excitations

description: Abstract The paper is regarding to the structural dynamics of a saddle shaped cable-net structure with two high points and two low points at the corners. The net cables are pre-stressed by stretching the four edge cables that are supported at the corner points. A series of parametric nonlinear dynamic analysis is utilized to evaluate the dynamic response of the system under the different structural masses and geometries, pretensions and alignments of cables and the amplitudes of dynamic excitation. An equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model is presented as a simplified method to estimate the dynamic response of the full finite element model. The simulation results show that the equivalent model can accurately estimate the displacement response of multi-degree-of-freedom model under dynamic excitation. Furthermore, a nonlinear active control algorithm is applied to decrease the structural response under the transient wind excitation and the results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.

title: Alternative active nonlinear total Lagrangian truss finite element applied to the analysis of cable nets and long span suspension bridges

description: Abstract An alternative geometrically nonlinear total Lagrangian finite element is presented and applied to solve cable, cable nets and a very long suspended bridge in both three and two-dimensional spaces from its setting-up through its response to earthquake. It includes dynamics, pseudo-dynamics regularization, elastic actuators and automatic stress calibration. Dynamics and pseudo-dynamics are used to perform transient structural analysis and the setting-up of very unstable structures. Elastic actuators allow pre-stressing structural members for the iterative structural design and cables natural length definition. Automatic stress calibration comprises continuous cables in complicated structures without sliding contact devices. The formulation is applied to model main cables of suspended bridges passing through saddle points. Inertial terms are introduced by an alternative mathematical way. Two simple examples are used to validate all aspects of the proposed formulation. Finally, a representative application is performed, i.e., the numerical design and analysis of a very long span suspension bridge by the proposed strategy.

title: Experimental and numerical analyses of a deep foundation containing a single defective pile

description: Abstract The methodologies for designing pile foundations can be complex since the simultaneous interactions among the block, piles and surrounding soil should be taken into account. Therefore, in addition to the discussions on construction, instrumentation, testing and simulation of a defective pile, this paper discusses the practical issues arising from the observed numerical using three-dimensional finite elements and experimental studies. The main issues discussed in this paper refer to as the decrease in load capacity of bored instrumented piles when subjected to a structural defect. It was observed in the results that given the presence of the defect, the failure load of the system has decreased from 190 kN to 110 kN, i.e. around 40% reduction of the intact reference value. Using the data obtained by numerical analysis, laboratory test, and field application, it was possible that the results were satisfactory and reasonable, enhancing our understanding of this complex foundation system’s behavior, especially in the presence of a defective pile.

title: XFEM MODELLING OF SINGLE-LAP WOVEN FABRIC KENAF COMPOSITES BOLTED JOINTS WITH TEMPERATURE ACTION

description: Abstract The current paper aimed to model failures and fractures in single-lap bolted joints of woven fabric kenaf fiber reinforced polymer (KFRP) composite plate to fail in net-tension. The approach was based on the assumptions that micro-damage events were densely concentrated ahead of the notch tip and crack growth were readily seen along net-tension plane in a self-similar fashion. A 3-D finite element modelling framework were developed to explicitly incorporate bolt clamp-up in a range of KFRP series following tested experimental datasets. Lay-up types, normalized W/d, temperature exposure with constant bolt torque of 5 Nm were considered. It was found that KFRP plates under elevated temperature were stronger than under room temperature due to matrix toughening. Traction-separation relationship was incorported within Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) framework to model damage within KFRP composite plate by using independent experimental datasets, here incorporates un-notched plate strength, σ o and fracture toughness, G c of all testing lay-ups. Constitutive model used is associated with stress concentration, therefore good agreement between predicted and experimental bearing stress at failure with net-tension failure mode is perhaps not suprising.

title: A buckling behavior of elliptic perforated steel CHS columns exposed to axial compression load

description: Abstract Maintenance work is very important for the continuation of the long service periods planned in engineering structures. Some damage to the steel elements, such as the growth of the holes in the structure, leads to reduced buckling strength and shortened service life. Moreover, the criterion of the hole is uncertain for steel structures. For this reason, it is very important to predict and evaluate the buckling strength of a damaged structure and to take necessary measures. Therefore, in this article, a series of systematic experimental studies are carried out to calculate the buckling strength of elliptical perforated steel columns. Deformation shapes and load-displacement graphs of the test columns are plotted. In addition, the behavior of the column under axial load is analyzed by constructing a finite element model. Numerical simulations are performed with Dynaform finite element package. The effect of the elliptical hole on the column buckling strength by changing the width, height and center is investigated numerically and experimentally. Prepared samples are subjected to axial loading test and compared with numerical results. In light of the data obtained from the numerical results, the effect of the width, height and center of a single elliptical hole on the buckling strength of the column is clearly demonstrated.
