Abstract: Three-dimensional dual kriging theory, commonly applied in geostatistics, is used in a novel way for the interpolation and manipulation of 3D stress tensor fields. The application of this technique provides a designer with a way of visualizing the results and an appreciation of the errors in the finite element model. Applications of this technique are described using simple as well as complex structures.

Material parameters periodontal ligament and stress profiles within the periodontal ligament

Royal Dental College of Aarhus, Denmark

Am J Orthod Dentofac Orthop;99:427-40, 1991

Abstract:  Levels and profiles of initial stress in the periodontal ligament after application of various force systems were studied. Two finite-element models, based on sections of human autopsy material, were developed to simulate one full and one partial mandible. The validity of the finite-element model was improved by identiiication of material parameters; the mechanical properties of the tissue were described by means of strain-gauge measurements of initial tooth movements in human autopsy material. The multiple modeling technique, in which data from a coarse global model are transferred to a more detailed one, was used to identify bone structure and boundary conditions. Parameters known to influence the results were varied to establish the validity of the finite-element model. Iterative calculation methods were used to gain stable results. However, optimizing features of the bone ,structure and boundary conditions did not influence the results significantly. The elastic stiffness of the periodontal ligament was determined to 0.07 MPa and τ = 0.49 (τ  being the Poisson's ratio). Stress profiles were obtained for various force systems--as in tipping, translation, and root movement. As we expected, there was a marked variation in the stress distribution from cervix to apex when tipping forces were applied. Bodily movement of the tooth produced an almost uniform stress distribution; root movement produced stress patterns opposite to those observed during tipping; and masticatory forces alone produced stress patterns almost identical to those achieved by masticatory force in combination with orthodontic forces.

Abstract: The finite element analysis of large problems relies on the efficient use of supercomputers. Vectorization and parallelization therefore is an important issue in the future development of finite element programs. We report on the vectorization of ADINA [ADINA Manuals, ADINA R&D Inc.] for the Siemens/Fujitsu vector processors of the VP and VP-EX series. Due to the data structure of ADINA the observed performance gains are mainly from the solution phase of ADINA. Highly optimized finite element code on vector processors has to take into account the specific hardware capabilities. We discuss the data structure of the finite element kernel program VECFEM, which is tailored for the architecture of vector processors. Performance data of the original and the adapted ADINA and of the VECFEM program are presented.

Significance of mesh-fineness in accuracy of finite element analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower shells

Abstract: Increased dependence on finite element modelling of structures in practice has made awareness of error potential of these analyses essential. This concern is even more pertinent in case of shell structures, since finite element analysis results of these structures is more error-prone. In reported research, the effect of mesh-fineness of finite element models on accuracy of finite element analysis solutions is investigated for hyperbolic cooling tower shells. The sensitivity of the errors to geometry of the shell is also examined. Elastic material model and static gravity loading is used. The study findings indicate that under symmetric state of stress, inadequate mesh-fineness may cause significant error in the shell force estimate from finite element analysis. The accuracy of longitudinal shell force estimate is fairly insensitive to the geometry of the shell. However, even small changes in the shape may drastically affect the accuracy of meridional shell force estimates.

Conference: Proceedings of the 8th ADINA Conference, Jul 17-19 1991, Cambridge, MA, USA

Abstract: A three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) analysis is conducted to simulate dolos drop tests. The FEM analysis employs a nonlinear concrete material model and utilizes a contact surface at the base of the vertical fluke. The results of the analysis predict the dynamic states of stress in the dolos and the pattern of cracking in the unit.

Comparison of computer codes for seismic analysis of dams

Singhal, A.C. (Arizona State Univ) Source: Computers and Structures, v 38, n 1, 1991, p 107-112

ISSN: 0045-7949 CODEN: CMSTCJ

Abstract: An extensive set of computer studies has been made using the EAGD, SAP IV, and ADINA computer codes. Dam-reservoir interaction has been incorporated by two different methods: fluid element and discretized lumped water mass. Parametric studies have been made to investigate the effect of (a) water compressibility vs incompressibility, (b) flexible vs rigid foundation, (c) empty vs full reservoir, and (d) numerical technique on central processor execution time. It has been found that the alpha factor (reservoir absorption coefficient) used in the EAGD program has an influence on the individual modal response of the dam. However, the overall deflections and stresses are not very sensitive to the variation in the value of this alpha parameter. The deflections and stresses obtained from EAGD, which uses finite element simulation for the water reservoir, are compared with SAP IV and ADINA results with discretized lumped water masses. Seismic behavior of the Pine Flat Dam subjected to the Taft earthquake shows that the results of the compressible water model are almost the same as those of the incompressible water model. Lumped added water mass results are about twice as large as results obtained using the fluid element model. A summary of computer execution time is also provided for comparison of relative merits of various numerical techniques. It is noted that EAGD uses a Fast Fourier Transform algorithm whereas SAP IV and ADINA use time domain methods. Execution time for ADINA is three times longer than that for the SAP IV program.

Conference: Proceedings of the 8th ADINA Conference, Jul 17-19 1991, Cambridge, MA, USA

Abstract: The stress response of a titanium aluminide/silicon carbide-fiber-reinforced metal-matrix composite has been studied. The investigation was conducted using a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model of a unit cell of the composite. The model was generated with the ADINA-IN finite element program preprocessor. A strain-rate dependent unified state variable constitutive model was implemented into the ADINA finite element program to analyze the materials time-dependent inelastic response. The composite system was subjected to various time-dependent cooling profiles in an effort to reduce the residual stresses that initiate radial cracks in the matrix. The cracks originate at the fiber-matrix interface as the material is cooled from its consolidation temperature to room temperature.

Abstract: A program system for automated fracture mechanical analyses with three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models has been developed. The main application has been safety analyses of pressurized components of nuclear power stations such as pipes and pipe bends containing surface cracks. The system is being extended to surface cracks in reactor pressure vessel (RPV) nozzle area. A large matrix of varying surface crack sizes in a plate under tension has been analysed and the automatically generated mesh is shown to give good accuracy. Such tests cannot guarantee the same accuracy for general loading conditions and geometries. Methods are being developed for the accuracy assessment of the results and for directing the mesh refinement. Results of a test series with plane models are promising. In the mesh refinement element sub-division was used. The same accuracy assessment approach is applied also to 3D models.

Abstract: A comparison of three approaches to the solution of the dam-reservoir interaction problem is presented. A 400-ft high concrete gravity dam, its reservoir and the rigid foundation are subjected to seismic ground motion. The computer programs ADINA-5 and EAGD-84 produced analyses which compared closely. Westergaard's added mass theory in general produced conservative results for both horizontal ground motion and the combined horizontal and vertical ground motion. Westergaard's theory produced results which were not comparable for the vertical only ground motion.

Conference: Proceedings of the 8th ADINA Conference, Jul 17-19 1991, Cambridge, MA, USA

Abstract: The ADINA program has a creep material model based on strain hardening and effective stress approach. Taylor Woodrow had the opportunity to investigate aspects of concrete behaviour associated with creep and shrinkage particularly in early age concrete. The study has led to modifications to the creep model to address following aspects; linear dependency of stress, age and temperature dependency of properties, creep flow, delayed elasticity and transitional thermal creep. The proposed creep model is mainly based on CEB-FIP 1978 recommendations. The paper highlights the mechanism of creep in concrete and proposes the procedure to implement in the code. Comparisons with published work are presented.

Conference: Proceedings of the 8th ADINA Conference, Jul 17-19 1991, Cambridge, MA, USA

Abstract: Concrete airfield pavements subjected to the exhaust gas of the F/A-18 aircraft auxiliary power unit experience cracking and spalling. A two-step finite element simulation of the airfield pavement yields the temperature distribution and the consequent stress field. It is shown that normal weight concrete pavements will deteriorate. A parameter study is then carried out to assess the influence of each concrete property on the thermal stress field. From this study, the adequacy of any type of concrete can be determined. In particular, the properties of all-lightweight structural concrete are considered. It is shown that all-lightweight structural concrete may provide a satisfactory solution, even when the pavement is initially frozen.

Abstract: A method for redesigning a mechanical structure to improve dynamic performance of electromechanical systems is presented. The pole-zero locations and other system characteristics are represented in relation to the structure geometry by using a finite element method. The inverse problem to obtain the structure geometry that satisfies desired system characteristics is solved. Given a desired pole-zero plot and characteristics specifications, the CAD system can find the appropriate structure geometry. First, the sensitivities of these system characteristics to changes in the structure geometry are evaluated. The modification of the structure geometry in order to obtain desired characteristics while satisfying constraints is obtained by using the pseudoinverse of the sensitivity matrix, eg. the Jacobian matrix. An efficient method is developed to reduce the large geometric design parameter space by using the singular value decomposition of the Jacobian matrix. A method for evaluating design trade-offs among geometric design parameters and system characteristics and constraints is also developed by using the singular value decomposition. The method is implemented using ADINA as finite element modeller and solver and is applied to the design of a flexible robot arm.

Abstract: Recently the use of steel fibers has been increased in flexural members and columns of such concrete structures subjected to cyclic loadings as bridge decks, highway roads, runways of airport, and buildings. However, few experimental tests have been carried out under fatigue loading. In the present study, reinforced concrete beams with fiber volume fractions of 1 and 2 percent, with and without stirrups, were investigated. In fatigue tests, it was found that the failure of the beam is usually due to breaking of fibers rather than fiber pullout. A comparison of experiments and numerical analysis using a nonlinear finite element method program (ADINA) is also presented. (6 refs.)

Abstract: The computation process including ADINA for predicting crackpath and structure lifetime under mixed mode loading is presented. Using the results of a FEM analysis, the J-integral is computed. The separation into JI and JII leads, in the case of linear elastic material behaviour, to the stress intensity factors KI and K II .The crack deflection angle j0 is determined by the criterion of maximum stress in tangential direction. An assumed crack increment, Da, for each computing cycle delivers an estimation for the number of load cycles, DN, using a modified Paris law with a cyclic comparative stress intensity factor DKv. Results for a CTS-specimen made of PMMA are presented and compared with experimental results.
