    An approach to optimal design of structures with non-linear response (1993)

    Notes: A commonly adopted procedure to solve a structural optimum design problem is to improve the design iteratively by solving a sequence of simpler problems, where each of these is obtained as an approximation of the original problem. Considering structures with linear response, this procedure works very well and can be implemented quite straightforwardly. However, considering structures with non-linear response, the situation is more sophisticated since structural stability properties have to be taken into account.The paper presents an approach to optimal design of statically loaded structures with non-linear response. It is proposed to replace the original problem with a sequence of similar problems from which corresponding approximate problems can easily be obtained. These similar problems additionally contain an estimation of the critical load constraint while other constraints are imposed at some properly chosen load level, which is lower or at most equal to the critical load level. By this approach, the structural stability requirements are taken into account in an effective manner. The efficiency is illustrated with several examples involving kinematic as well as material non-linear effects.

    Optimization of mechanical systems: On strategy of non-linear first-order approximation (1992)

    Notes: The paper presents an extended approach to non-linear first-order approximation of non-linear programming problems and it explains how to transform an approximate problem into a strictly convex one. The essence of the proposed approximation technique is to rewrite each given function hj as a composite gj o Ψj. The function Ψj has to be chosen - the paper explains how to do this - while gj is linear approximated with gj. The approximation of hj is then obtained as gj o Ψj.This approach enables one to obtain approximate functions with variable conservativeness, which implies an adjustable approximate problem. A solution procedure, which replaces the original problem with a sequence of approximate problems, can therefore adjust each succeeding approximate problem to improve the convergence properties.The theory is illustrated with a three parameters controlled approximation. This technique represents, together with an optimality criteria based solution procedure, a powerful and economic tool for solving nonlinear programming problems. The three parameters, which influence to a great extent the conservativeness of the approximate functions, are under full control of the optimizer. They are varied automatically during the process of optimization to speed-up the convergence or to prevent oscillations.The benefits gained from the proposed approach are demonstrated on several numerical examples involving structures and a dynamic multibody system.

    Notes: A plasticity theory for porous metals is proposed. A simple model of a porous materials is analysed by the finite element method. Small strain elastic-plastic analysis provides stress-strain curves, yield stressed and incremental plastic strain vectors for different void ratios. An assessment is made of an existing yield criterion for porous metals. A modified yield criterion and plastic potential function and, consequently, different plasticity equations are given. Reasonable agreement is obtained between the present numerical results and previous results in the literature.

    Comparison of several open boundary numerical treatments for laminar recirculating flows (1993)

    Notes: Several open boundary conditions (OBCs) are compared and evaluated in the framework of the SIMPLE algorithm using staggered and non-staggered grid systems. The benchmark laminar flow test cases used for the OBC evaluation are Poiseuille-Benard flow in a channel and stratified backward-facing step flow. The investigated OBCs are linear explicit step space extrapolation, Orlanski's monochromatic wave, and pressure extrapolation. Orlanski's and pressure extrapolation open boundary treatment for unsteady and steady flows, respectively, yield little reflection and has proved to be adequate for engineering calculations.

    A statistical study of fabric in a random assembly of spherical granules (1982)

    Notes: It is commonly accepted that the mechanical behaviour of granular masses is strongly affected by their microstructure, namely the relative arrangement of voids and particles, i.e. the granular fabric. Therefore, parameters which characterize the granular fabric are of paramount importance in a fundamental description of the overall macroscopic stresses and deformation measures. In this paper several measures of granular fabric are introduced for a random assembly of spherical granules, using a statistical approach. In particular, a second-order symmetric tensor, Fij, emerges from this consideration, which seems to be of fundamental importance for the description of fabric, and which is closely related to the distribution of the contact normals in the assembly. The relation between fabric measures presented here and those discussed by other investigators is also discussed.

    Notes: The notion of overall macroscopic stress in granular masses is examined from a fundamental point of view by a statistical consideration of the contact forces that are transmitted by the contacting granules at the microscale. This examination leads in a natural way to relations between the macroscopic stress and the resulting granular fabric. The overall stresses are expressed in terms of the contact forces in two different but complementary ways: (1) by a statistical averaging over the sample volume of contact forces and “branches” which are vectors connecting the centroids of two contacting granules; and (2) by defining the overall tractions transmitted across an interior imagined plane as the sum of the contact forces which represent the mechanical effect of granules on one side of a unit area of this plane, upon those on the other side. Conditions under which the two representations of overall stresses are equivalent, are examined in detail. In addition, explicit results are given, which, define stresses in terms of the fabric and other microstructural characteristics of the granular mass.

    Notes: A computational procedure for compressible axisymmetric boundary layers, on bodies of revolution, in transition from laminar to turbulent flow, is introduced. The procedure is an extension of a former method, due to Patankar and Spalding.The flow field is computed by solution of four simultaneous equations for the momentum, the thermal energy, the turbulence energy amplitude and the turbulent scale.The results show good agreement with existing theoretical and experimental data.

    Consistent vs. reduced integration penalty methods for incompressible media using several old and new elements (1982)

    Notes: The frequently used reduced integration method for solving incompressible flow problems ‘a la penalty’ is critically examined vis-a-vis the consistent penalty method. For the limited number of quadrilateral and hexahedral elements studied, it is shown that the former method is only equivalent to the latter in certain special cases. In the general case, the consistent penalty method is shown to be more accurate. Finally, we demonstrate significant advantages of a new element, employing biquadratic (2-D) or triquadratic (3-D) velocity and linear pressure over that using the same velocity but employing bilinear (2-D) or trilinear (3-D) pressure approximation.
