This paper describe numerical experiments with solitary beams in a self focusing Kerr medium with fast response. Through formal analogies, it compare this results on the phase sensitivity of beam collision with known predictions about one dimensional soliton interaction. For incoherent oblique beam interaction, there occurs a non-periodic coupled-mode type transfer of energy, resulting in complete transmission each beam through the other one.

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be strengthened with externally bolted steel plates to the sides of beams. The effectiveness of this type of bolted side-plate (BSP) beam can however be affected by partial interaction between the steel plates and RC beams due to the mechanical slip of bolts. To avoid over-estimation of the flexural strength and ensure accurate prediction of the load-deformation response of the beams, the effect of partial interaction has to be properly considered. In this paper, a special non-linear macro-finite-element model that takes into account the effects of partial interaction is proposed. The RC beam and the steel plates are modelled as two different elements, interacting through discrete groups of bolts. A layered method is adopted for the formulation of the RC beam and steel plate elements, while a special non-linear model based on a kinematic hardening assumption for the bolts is used to simulate the bolt group effect. The computer program SiBAN was developed based on the proposed approach. Comparison with the available experimental results shows that SiBAN can accurately predict the partial interaction behaviour of the BSP beams. Further numerical simulations show that the interaction between the RC beam and the steel plates is greatly reduced by the formation of plastic hinges and should be considered in analyses of the strengthened beams.

본 논문에서는 볼트로 체결된 강재 조립 합성보의 휨거동에 대한 유한요소해석을 통하여 휨거동 특성을 분석하였다. 두개의 강재보가 볼트로 체결되어 횡하중을 받을 때 발생하는 볼트의 합성효과, 강판사이의 마찰특성을 고려하였다. 체결에 사용된 볼트의 갯수 및 마찰계수의 변화에 따른 변위, 휨응력 그리고 전단응력을 쉘 요소를 사용한 유한요소해석에 의해 계산하였다. 이런 결과들은 완전 비합성보, 부분 합성보와 완전 합성보의 해석치와 비교되었다. 해석결과 합성보의 거동은 강재의 마찰보다 볼트의 갯수로 표현되는 합성률에 크게 영향을 받았다. 합성률이 $50{\sim}60%$에 도달할 때 합성보의 거동은 완전 합성보와 유사함을 보였다.

In this paper a general approach for studying the motion of a cantilever beam interacting with a 2D fluid flow is presented. The fluid is solved by a general purpose commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package (FLUENT 6.2), while the structure is managed by means of a dedicated finite element method solver, coded in FLUENT as a user-defined function (UDF). A weak fluid structure interaction coupling scheme is adopted exchanging information at the end of each time step. An arbitrary cantilever beam can be introduced in the CFD mesh with its wetted boundaries specified; the cantilever can also interact with specified rigid and flexible walls through use of a non-linear contact algorithm. After a brief review of relevant scientific contributions, some test cases and application examples are presented.

Noise generated by the blunt trailing edge of lifting surfaces is investigated in this study using fluid structure interaction theory. First, through the eddy modeling, noise generation doe to the flow instability on the rigid trailing edge is surveyed. Then the behavior of elastic cantileverd beam is investigated. Parametric study based on various material properties is employed to analyze the motion of the beam. Moreover, each eigenmode approach of cantilevered beam is used to find when flow induced vibration is resonant. To analyze elastic behavior of cantilever beam efficiently, moving grid generation technique based on non-conservative form of Navier-Stokes equation is used. Equation of the motion associated with the cantilever beam is discretized by the Galerkin procedure with forced vibration. As a consequence, behavior of the elastic cantilevered beam is stable when the first mode natural frequency of the material is relatively higher than that of flow induced pressure fluctuation.

Resonant frequencies and the associated vibrational modes of multiwall carbon nanotubes are studied in this paper. The analysis is based on a multiple-elastic beam model, considering intertube radial displacements and the related internal degrees of freedom. Especially, van der Waals interaction is modified considering both all interaction between each layers in multi-wall carbon nanotubes and curvature effect. The results show that modified van der Waals interaction could significantly affect the natural frequencies of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. In particular, non-coaxial intertube resonance will be excited at the higher resonant frequencies of multiwall carbon nanotubes.

The study deals with physical modeling of space frame-pile foundation and soil system using finite element models. The superstructure frame is analyzed using complete three-dimensional finite element method where the component of the frame such as slab, beam and columns are descretized using 20 node isoparametric continuum elements. Initially, the frame is analyzed assuming the fixed column bases. Later the pile foundation is worked out separately wherein the simplified models of finite elements such as beam and plate element are used for pile and pile cap, respectively. The non-linear behaviour of soil mass is incorporated by idealizing the soil as non-linear springs using p-y curve along the lines similar to that by Georgiadis et al. (1992). For analysis of pile foundation, the non-linearity of soil via p-y curve approach is incorporated using the incremental approach. The interaction analysis is conducted for the parametric study. The non-linearity of soil is further incorporated using iterative approach, i.e., secant modulus approach, in the interaction analysis. The effect the various parameters of the pile foundation such as spacing in a group and configuration of the pile group is evaluated on the response of superstructure owing to non-linearity of the soil. The response included the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The non-linearity of soil increases the top displacement in the range of 7.8%-16.7%. However, its effect is found very marginal on the absolute maximum moment in columns. The hogging moment decreases by 0.005% while sagging moment increases by 0.02%.

This paper is intended to investigate interaction response of a train running over a suspension bridge undergoing support settlements. The suspension bridge is modeled as a single-span suspended beam with hinged ends and the train as successive moving oscillators with identical properties. To conduct this dynamic problem with non-homogeneous boundary conditions, this study first divides the total response of the suspended beam into two parts: the static and dynamic responses. Then, the coupled equations of motion for the suspended beam carrying multiple moving oscillators are transformed into a set of nonlinearly coupled generalized equations by Galerkin's method, and solved using the Newmark method with an incremental-iterative procedure including the three phases: predictor, corrector, and equilibrium-checking. Numerical investigations demonstrate that the present iterative technique is available in dealing with the dynamic interaction problem of vehicle/bridge coupling system and that the differential movements of bridge supports will significantly affect the dynamic response of the running vehicles but insignificant influence on the bridge response.

이 논문은 불규칙 가진력을 받는 회전-고정보의 비선형 응답특성을 나타낸다. 불규칙 가진력은 두 번째 고유모드의 절점과 최대변위점에 가했다. 비선형 편미분 방정식과 경계조건으로 표현되는 이 문제를 Galerkin의 방법을 이용하여 연립 비선형 상미분방정식으로 변환하였다. 이 상미분방정식으로부터 Fokker-Planck방정식과 모멘트 방정식을 얻은 후 Gaussian closure 방법 및 non-Gaussian closure 방법을 이용하여 3 모드 근사시 각각 27개 및 209개의 자율 상미분방정식을 구하였다. Gaussian closure 방법과 non-Gaussian closure 방법으로 2 모드 및 3 모드 근사해석을 수행하였고 해석적 결과들은 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교되었다. 해석결과 2 모드 근사해와 3 모드 근사해가 거의 일치하였고 2 모드 내부공진만 고려하여도 해석결과에 별 영향을 주지 않는다는 것을 알 수 있다.

The response statistics of a hinged-clamped beam under broad-band random excitation is investigated. The random excitation is applied at the nodal point of the second mode. By using Galerkin's method the governing equation is reduced to a system of nonautonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A method based upon the Markov vector approach is used to generate a general first-order differential equation in the dynamic moment of response coordinates. By means of the Gaussian and non-Gaussian closure methods the dynamic moment equations for the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations. The case of two mode interaction is considered in order to compare it with the case of three mode interaction. The analytical results for two and three mode interactions are also compared with results obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.
