Book The Static and Dynamic Analysis of Discretely Represented Moorings and Cables by Numerical Means

Download or read book The Static and Dynamic Analysis of Discretely Represented Moorings and Cables by Numerical Means written by Richard Frank Dominguez and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer oriented techniques and procedures are presented for the analysis of single and multiple cable systems. Application is made to a two-point mooring system influenced by surface and subsurface hydrodynamic loading. The effects of the various parameters are presented and the numerical method is compared to exact solutions obtained from a continuum consideration of a suspended cable. An extension of the static analysis technique to dynamic analysis, using matrix methods, makes it possible to obtain an eigenvalue solution. In reduced matrix form, the damped equations of motion are uncoupled by means of a linear transformation from the physical to a complex coordinate system. This permits evaluation of either characteristic or forced motion of cable systems.

Book Dynamic Analysis of Cable Stayed Structures

Download or read book Dynamic Analysis of Cable Stayed Structures written by Simon Mitton and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to give a clear and coherent understanding of the excitation mechanisms which excite cables in structures. A static and dynamic analysis is undertaken to investigate the behaviour of cables. A comprehensive theory is given for the free, linear vibrations of the suspended cable. Using this theory, a finite element model of several cable-stayed bridges are constructed with various cable configurations in a 2-D and 3-D environment. The effect of increasing the horizontal tension in the cables is analysed and the natural frequencies are compared. Design recommendations and mitigation methods are compared with international building codes. This book provides a extensive introduction into dynamics of cables and a must have guide for bridge engineers.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book A Mixed 3d Cable Element for the Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis of Cable Structures

Download or read book A Mixed 3d Cable Element for the Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis of Cable Structures written by Miquel Crusells Girona and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents the formulation and validation of a new 3d mixed cable element that is based on a two-field variational formulation and is suitable for the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of cable structures. The new cable element is derived in general curvilinear coordinates under finite deformations, and identifies conjugate strain and stress measures for the nonlinear catenary problem. The formulation uses the weak form of the strain-displacement relation and the principle of virtual work to propose two numerical implementations of the element, one with a continuous axial force distribution and one with a discontinuous one. This dissertation also proposes a new filtered energy-momentum conserving algorithm for obtaining the dynamic response of cable structures in time. This new algorithm exactly conserves the Hamiltonian structure of the two-field mixed catenary problem for any {non\-linear} elastic complementary energy, and provides a consistent time integration in the case of inelastic material response. A postprocessing Savitzky-Golay filter is included to address the high-frequency contributions that appear in cables with a large sag-to-span ratio, without jeopardizing the desired conserving properties. The new element and the consistent time integration scheme are first validated under nonlinear elastic material response with several benchmark problems from the literature. In these examples, the mixed cable element obtains very accurate results for coarse meshes, and displays especially accurate axial force distributions compared to other models. For cables with a small sag-to-span ratio, the energy-conserving scheme and the Newmark method yield nearly identical results, while in the case of cables with a large sag-to-span ratio, for which the Newmark time integrator diverges, the new scheme gives accurate results and exactly conserves the total energy of the system. The proposed formulations are also validated under viscoelastic material response. In the case of small viscoelastic strains, the new element behaves robustly and gives excellent results. A new finite viscoelastic material model is formulated for large viscoelastic strains, and results show that it reduces to the infinitesimal model when small deformations are considered. Simple benchmark problems involving the free vibration and the earthquake response of simply-supported cables demonstrate that small relaxation times can reproduce the internal physical mechanisms that dissipate the high-frequency waves in the axial force field, while long relaxation times account for the decay of the dynamic response. The study concludes with the structural analysis of three-dimensional cable nets using the proposed 3d mixed cable elements. First, numerical joints are introduced to accommodate the discontinuities in the axial force field that appear in physical cable joints. These complex structures show excellent results for displacements and axial forces. For available experimental results, the proposed formulations give the smallest relative error compared to other models in the literature.
