Performance and implementation aspects of an isogeometric mortar-based contact algorithm
Kopačka, Ján ; Gabriel, Dušan ; Kolman, Radek ; Plešek, Jiří
The isogeometric NURBS based variant of symmetry preserving explicit FE contact-impact algorithm, has been proposed. The algorithm was studied by means of a numerical example, which involves 3d frictionless impact of two equally shaped cylinders. The attention was paid to performance and implementation aspects of the mortar-based contact algorithm.
Analysis of the vibrations attenuation of rotors supported by magnetorheological squeeze film dampers as a multiphysical finite element problem
Zapoměl, Jaroslav ; Ferfecki, P.
To achieve optimum performance of rotating machines the damping effect of the damping devices added to the rotor support elements must be controllable. This is enabled by application of squeeze film dampers lubricated by magnetorheological oils. This article deals with approaches, based on utilization of the finite element method, to analysis of mechanical vibrations of rotors effected by several mutually coupled multiphysical phenomena (electric, magnetic, hydraulic) occurring in the damping devices.

Numerical calibration of material parameters of selected directional distortional hardening models with combined approach using both distorted yield surfaces and stress-strain curves
Hrubý, Zbyněk ; Plešek, Jiří ; Parma, Slavomír ; Marek, René ; Feigenbaum, H. P. ; Dafalias, Y.F.
The plastic strain induced anisotropy is a well-known phenomenon in manufacturing and directional distortional hardening represents a very promising way to capture real plastic behavior of metals. Many papers were published in the past typically extending the von Mises yield criterion with directionally dependent internal variable and defining yield point at the basis of plastic strain offset. Material parameters of these models were typically calibrated at the basis of deformed yield surfaces only, which – as revealed – could lead to certain discrepancies in simple stress-strain response. Presented paper introduces a numerical calibration approach taking both distorted yield surfaces and stress-strain curves information into account. Besides the calibration procedures, innovative applications of experimental techniques such as the acoustic emission for an acquisition of yield inception and plastic straining, convexity of the models, or numerical implementation of these models are discussed.
Case study using the creep probabilistic exponential model and explicit integration method with time step control
Gabriel, Dušan ; Hrubý, Zbyněk ; Masák, Jan ; Plešek, Jiří ; Kopačka, Ján ; Pařík, Petr ; Straka, F. ; Albl, P.
The issues concerning accuracy and stability control of original explicit algorithm for integration of differential systems arising from viscoplastic or creep finite element analyses was explored. The attention was focused on the investigation of the numerical stability for complex creep probabilistic exponential model with damage.
Convergence study of isogeometic analysis in poisson problem
Cimrman, R. ; Kolman, Radek ; Vejchodský, Tomáš
In this contribution, we use isogeometric analysis for numerical solution of the the Poisson problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We analyze the influence of this continuity, together with the spline order and parameterization, on the convergence rates of numerical solutions to analytic ’exact’ solution.
Application of numerical inverse Laplace transform to elastodynamic problems
Adámek, V. ; Valeš, František ; Červ, Jan
Laplace transform represents one of the most used transforms in time domain. There exist two possible approaches to its inversion, analytical and numerical. The first method is based on the exact evaluation of the inverse integral. This is usually done by the help of Cauchy´s residue theorem. The substance of the second method lies in the numerical evaluation of the inverse integral. This numerical approach is faster than an analytical solution and it can be also applied to more complicated problems where e.g. the existence of branch points makes the inverse process, based on the analytic techniques, much more complicated.
New method of complex modulus estimation of prepressed rubber by the FE model parameter tuning – rubber-damped wheel application
Šulc, Petr ; Pešek, Luděk ; Bula, Vítězslav ; Cibulka, Jan ; Boháč, T. ; Tašek, H.
The main goal of the study was to develop a method for estimation of the frequency dependence of material constants of the pre-pressed hard synthetic rubbers. It was motivated the need to identify material constants, i.e. Young modulus and loss factor, of rubber segments pressed between the disk and the rim of a rubber-damped railway wheel. The rubber segments are pre-pressed about 20% strain level during the production of the wheel. Hard synthetic rubber materials exhibit complex thermalfrequency behavior with nonlinear dependence on static preload. The standard experimental procedures that evaluate the frequency dependence of the material are based on the vibrations of a cantilever beam that consists of a metal and a rubber layer. The new estimation method of the complex modulus of elasticity of rubber is based on the tuning of rubber constants of an FE wheel model according to the results of natural frequencies and mode shapes of the wheel ascertained from the experiment. Numerical FE model of the wheel consisted of the cyclic model of 1/24 sector of the wheel with an angle of 15° and containing one rubber segment and was created in ANSYS 14.5. Damping model of rubber is described by a special case of proportional damping. For calculating eigenvalues of the problem, the Lanczos method was used for the wheel as an undamped system and QR damped method for the damped system. The experimental modal analysis of the rubber-damped wheel pressed on the shaft took place at room temperature in the dynamic laboratory. Modal tests were performed in configuration with an exciter acting first in the axial direction and consequently in the radial direction of the wheel. Responses to the exactions were measured in three directions at 144 points. The identification of eigenvalues and mode shapes of the wheels was made separately for excitations both in radial and in axial direction.
Solution of the multi-dimensional Fokker-Planck by means of finite element method
Náprstek, Jiří ; Král, Radomil
As a demonstrative example, the two-degree-of-freedom system is investigated. A combination of Rayleigh\nor Van der Pol with Duffing types of differential equations are assumed characterized by the\nnonlinear behavior both in the stiffness and damping. This system is subjected to the additive and\nthe multiplicative Gaussian white noise which represents a part of non-linear aero-elastic effects in\nthe system.
