This study focuses on the efficiency and applicability of dynamic relaxation methods in form-finding of membrane structures. Membrane structures have large deformations that require complex nonlinear analysis. The first step of analysis of these structures is the form-finding process including a geometrically nonlinear analysis. Several numerical methods for form-finding have been introduced such as the dynamic relaxation, force density method, particle spring systems and the updated reference strategy. In the present study, dynamic relaxation method (DRM) is investigated. The dynamic relaxation method is an iterative process that is used for the static equilibrium analysis of geometrically nonlinear problems. Five different examples are used in this paper. To achieve the grading of the different dynamic relaxation methods in form-finding of membrane structures, a performance index is introduced. The results indicate that viscous damping methods show better performance than kinetic damping in finding the shapes of membrane structures.

The present study is concerned with the application of dynamic relaxation method in the investigation of the large deflection behavior of spatial structures. The dynamic relaxation do not require the computation or formulation of any tangent stiffness matrix. The convergence to the solution is achieved by using only vectorial quantities and no stiffness matrix is required in its overall assembled form. In an effort to evaluate the merits of the methods, extensive numerical studies were carried out on a number of selected structural systems. The advantages of using dynamic relaxation methods, in tracing the post-buckling behavior of spatial structures, are demonstrated.

This paper addresses the modified Dynamic Relaxation algorithm, called mdDR by minimizing displacement error between two successive iterations. In the mdDR method, new relationships for fictitious mass and damping are presented. The results obtained from linear and nonlinear structural analysis, either by finite element or finite difference techniques; demonstrate the potential ability of the proposed scheme compared to the conventional DR algorithm. It is shown that the mdDR improves the convergence rate of Dynamic Relaxation method without any additional calculations, so that, the cost and computational time are decreased. Simplicity, high efficiency and automatic operations are the main merits of the proposed technique.

대공간 구조 시스템의 대변형 거동 산정법으로 최근 동적이완법의 적용에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 동적이완법에서는 접선 강성 매트릭스의 수식 계산이 필요하지 않고, 단지 벡터량을 이용함으로써 해로 수렴하며, 전체 계산 과정에서 강성 매트릭스는 필요하지 않다. 동적이완법의 이점을 평가하기 위해 많은 대공간 구조 시스템에 대해 적용하였고, 이는 대공간 구조 시스템의 후좌굴 거동을 추적하는데 있어서 동적이완법 사용의 타당성을 규명할 수 있다.

Numerical integration is an efficient approach for nonlinear dynamic analysis. In this paper, general category of the implicit integration errors will be discussed. In order to decrease the errors, Dynamic Relaxation method with modified time step (MFT) will be used. This procedure leads to an alternative algorithm which is very general and can be utilized with any implicit integration scheme. For numerical verification of the proposed technique, some single and multi degrees of freedom nonlinear dynamic systems will be analyzed. Moreover, results are compared with both exact and other available solutions. Suitable accuracy, high efficiency, simplicity, vector operations and automatic procedures are the main merits of the new algorithm in solving nonlinear dynamic problems.

This paper presents an estimation method for the static configuration of a steel lazy wave riser (SLWR) using the dynamic relaxation method applied to estimate the configuration of structures with strong geometric non-linearity. The lumped mass model is introduced to reflect the flexible structural characteristics of the riser. In the lumped mass model, the tensions, shear forces, buoyancy, self-weights, and seabed reaction forces at nodal points are considered in order to find the static configuration of the SLWR. The dynamic relaxation method using a viscous damping formulation is applied to the static configuration analysis. Fictitious masses are defined at nodal points using the sum of the largest direct stiffness values of nodal points to ensure the numerical stability. Various case studies were performed according to the bending stiffness and size of the buoyancy module using the dynamic relaxation method. OrcaFlex was employed to validate the accuracy of the developed numerical method.

The explicit nonlinear dynamic relaxation method (DRM) is applied to the nonlinear geodesic shape finding analysis by introducing fictional tensioned 'strings' along the desired seams with a three or four-node membrane element. A number of results from the numerical example for the nonlinear geodesic shape finding and patterning analysis are obtained by the proposed method to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the developed method. Therefore, the proposed geodesic shape finding algorithm may improve the applicability of a four-node membrane element to membrane structural engineering and design analysis simultaneously for the shape finding, stress, and patterning analysis.

본 논문에서는 순차적 학습 방법에서의 동적 모멘트를 제안한다. 동적 모멘트에서의 가변적인 모멘트를 이용하여 수렴 속도와 학습 성능을 향상시키며 회귀율에서도 이를 확인할 수 있다 제안된 학습 방법은 기존의 정적모멘트와는 달리 수렴 정도에 따라 현재의 학습에 과거의 학습률을 달리 반영하는 방법이다. 기존의 정적 상수로 정의된 모멘트가 전체 학습에 동등하게 영향을 주는 반면 제안된 동적모멘트를 이용한 학습 방법은 학습 수행에 따라 동적으로 모멘트를 변경함으로써 수렴 속도와 학습 성능을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있다. 이전의 분류문제와 회귀문제의 분리확인과는 달리 본 논문에서는 제안된 동적모멘트의 성능과 회귀율을 동시에 확인한다. 본 논문에서 사용한 회귀방법은 RMS 오류율을 사용하였으며 제안된 학습방법인 동적모멘트를 SVM(Support Vector Machine)의 순차 학습방법인 KA(Kernel Adatron)과 KR(Kernel Relaxation)에 적용하여 RMS 오류율을 확인하였다. 공정한 학습 성능 평가를 위해 신경망 분류기표준평가데이터인 SONAR 데이터를 이용하였으며 실험 결과 동적모멘트를 이용한 학습 성능과 수렴 속도 및 RMS 오류율이 정적모멘트를 이용한 학습방법보다 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

An implicit method of solving the six degree-of-freedom rigid body motion equations based on the second order Adams-Bashforth-Moulten method was utilised as an improvement over the leapfrog scheme by making modifications to the rigid body motion solver libraries directly. The implementation will depend on predictor-corrector steps still residing within the hybrid Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators - Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations (PIMPLE) outer corrector loops to ensure strong coupling between fluid and motion. Aitken's under-relaxation is also introduced in this study to optimise the convergence rate and stability of the coupled solver. The resulting coupled solver ran on a free floating object tutorial test case when converged matches the original solver. It further allows a varying 70%-80% reduction in simulation times compared using a fixed under-relaxation to achieve the required stability.
