1. 1. A 3D Sliding Bearing Finite Element Based on The Bouc-Wen Hysteretic Model : Mathematical modelling and numerical implementation

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Sicong Wei; [2020]
   Keywords : high-speed railway; nonlinear dynamics; bridge bearings; friction; hysteresis; secondary development; damping;

   Abstract : Bridge bearing is an essential component with the function of connecting the superstructure and substructure of the bridge, transmitting load and providing movability to the superstructure. Under dynamic conditions, the internal friction of bridge bearing dissipates the vibration energy and therefore reduces the dynamic response of the bridge. READ MORE

3. 2. Spacecraft dynamic analysis and correlation with test results : Shock environment analysis of LISA Pathfinder at VESTA test bed

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

   Author : Beata Iwona Kunicka; [2017]
   Keywords : FEA FEM; finite element analysis; finite element method; mechanical analysis; structural analysis; dynamic analysis; computational dynamic analysis of structures; shock analysis; shock environment; shock test; shock test campaign; spacecraft dynamic analysis; MSC Nastran; MSC Patran; Dynaworks; Shock Response Spectrum; SRS; space engineering; space science and technology; mechanical engineering; structural engineering; analysis optimisation; analysis parametrisation; mechanical wave propagation; shock propagation; damping; hysteretic damping; viscous damping; structural damping;

   Abstract : The particular study case in this thesis is the shock test performed on the LISA Pathfinder satellite conducted in a laboratory environment on a dedicated test bed: Vega Shock Test Apparatus (VESTA). This test is considered fully representative to study shock levels produced by fairing jettisoning event at Vega Launcher Vehicle, which induces high shock loads towards the satellite. READ MORE

4. 3. Semi-Analytical Finite Element method for guided waves in civil engineering plate-like structures

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

   Author : Christian Nielsen; [2015]
   Keywords : seismics; structural health monitoring; lamb waves; SAFE; semi analytical finite element; wave guide finite element; non destructive testing; civil engineering; ultrasound; ultrasonography; comsol; wave guide; plate; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a technique called Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE). READ MORE
