Eiffel's Tower marks the birth of applied mechanics

Thanks William for your map --- that's a useful technological guide for my July visit to Paris with my students.

I just realized, last year there was this Expo Gustave Eiffel - Paris --- 'expo Gustave Eiffel,
le magicien du fer, se tient à l'Hôtel de Ville, Salle Saint Jean,
jusqu'au 29 août. I guess it is over, what a pity, were you there?  Probably this is because last year t was 120 years anniversary Tour Eiffel, 120 ANS, Gustave Eiffel, 1889 2009, Photo:
Francisco Munoz Espejo 2009

If you prefer a documentary in spanish, see here.  Or here with some nice music. But also here old movies.

There is even a full movie about the history of the tour eiffel..  See here for the first part, and follow the links for the other 5-6 parts.  It's in french...

I am happy to see that Sarkozy is revitalizing Paris with Grand Paris : Les 10 projets architecturaux (hope you don't mind some french..).  

But my students were stimulated by Zhigang's worry that I underestimate them, so they produced a ANSYS input file for the Tour today.  Have a try, we can later discuss optimality of the Tour with various strategies before I actually make the trip in July!

I am very interested about the study of the Eiffel Tower. In this Ansys input file I introduce the effect of the wind along the right profile of the Tour at a pressure of 300 kg/m2 and weight of the tower.

 I think this is a good starting point.  However

1) the pressure seems to be orthogonal to the elements, not constant horizontal direction

2) I would prefer to see the definition of the surfaces more "parametric" so that at later stage we can optimize, either in shape optimization (i.e. you change the coordinates of the nodes in the splines), or as a full topological optimization (see here, for example ).  See e.g. these examples

A 99 line
topology optimization code written in MATLAB®

The Matlab code presented in this page is intended for
engineering education. Students and newcomers to the field of topology
optimization can find the code here and download it. The code may be
used in courses in structural optimization where students may be
assigned to do extensions such as multiple load-cases, alternative
mesh-independency schemes, passive areas, etc..

The code is here top.m
(5K, Shift+click to save). This version of the code is optimized
with respect to speed compared to the original version and was released
on May 28th, 2002.

Save the program and start Matlab in the same directory. Run the
program by writing for example:

>> top(30,10,0.5,3.0,1.5)

in the Matlab prompt.

A description of the code can be found in the paper "A 99 line topology
optimization code written in MATLAB" (PDF) (160K) (Structural and
Multidisciplinary Optimization 21(2), 2001, pp. 120-127) by Ole Sigmund.

Thanks Canh V. Le,

   if you have seen our educational effort here before our trip to Paris, we want to play with Eiffel's tower design.  Do you think the 99 lines program or your LayOpt matlab code,can be adapted for our problem, or at least to something close to it?

Thanks in advance.

 Dear Mike,

I would recommend to use LayOut or DLO since it is in general and has been tested for large-scale performance at our group. The idea behind is that we generate nodes in working domain and make as many as possible connections which can be line (truss) elements (gridlike structures), of course the more elements are used the better solutions can be obtained. In order to reduce computational cost Matthew Gilbert and Andrew Tyas have proposed nodal adaptive to optimize the number of connections. This  procedue has also been extended to plastic limit analysis problems and implemented in a comercial software. Therefore, I believe that you can adapt this technique to your project.

Best,

Canh

I checked the link you provided but it seems to do limit analysis, not truss optimization.

I think in the classical book by Bendsoe, M.P., Sigmund, O. there is an example about Eiffel Tower, and indeed it does suggest we can both use a set of beams, or topological optimization of a continuum --- or a combination of the techniques. But I need to suggest my students something simple, like either in the software ANSYS, or a very well documented simple Matlab routine.

yes, the DLO is for limit analysis, but the procedure is identical to truss optimization. Have you checked this ?

Dear Cahn

  I am no expert in the field and about Eiffel's tower I only  have a master thesis from a student of Prof. Sacchi Landriani, whom I have been suggested to refer to from the President of the French Academy of Science, my friend Prof. Salencon of Ecole Polytechnique.  But that was not on optimal design.

Prof. Sacchi Landriani incidentally is the author of a nice paper

A
Recollection of Some Results and a Few Remarks on Structural
Optimisation

 Now, I checked briefly the paper you refer to.  It says:-

Abstract:
Computerized layout (or “topology”) optimization
was pioneered almost four decades back. However, despite dramatic
increases in available computer power and the application of
increasingly efficient optimization algorithms, even now only relatively
modest sized problems can be tackled using the traditional “ground
structure” approach. This is because of the need, in general, for the
latter to contain every conceivable member connecting together the nodes
in a problem. A simple, but effective solution method capable of
tackling problems with large numbers of potential members (e.g.
>100,000,000) is presented. Though the method draws on the linear
programming technique of “column generation”, since layout optimization
specific heuristics are employed it is presented as an iterative “member
adding” method. The method requires a ground structure with minimal
connectivity to be used in the first iteration; members are then added
as required in subsequent iterations until the (provably) optimal
solution is found.

Now, the method you suggest seems "the classical sliding block upper
bound method" ( as described by Drucker and Shield, discussed in
Calladine's book and used by, for example, Ian Collins), but using some
sort of
programming method.

 Applying programming methods to
optimal design has a long history. I remember Andrew Palmer working on
the optimal design of electricity pylons using dynamic programming as
they are near serial structures - some time in the
'60. Sounds a bit like the Eifel Tower problem. I'll see if I can find
the reference.

 I will also scan for you a figure on the book from our Danish friends.

In addition to this study, I have just realized a different type of model with link8 elements, according to a colleague engineer, who has, recently, implemented a reticular trusses work on Ansys, with elements likes link8. Also, I have to complete this study with a topological analysis.

There is now a problem, in terms of deformation curve, because the postprocessing send me a message with an error about DEGREE of FREEDOM SOLUTION that is "not available"!

According to my colleague there is a constraint problem, but the processor don't give me errors in the /prep7.

Dear Canh V.Le, can you explain me any limitations about this problem, if there are?

Thanks in advance.

I'm going to check for a middle sectional area, because the sistem's response was really unsatisfactory, in fact the gravity effect was excessive..

However, I'm going to post  you the new command list with some important corrections, so that you can check it.

I think the  wind forces are the most probably, checking some bibliographic informations, there are about 300 Kg/m2, for variable loads on the profile of the tower.

Thanks to the availability, I'll ask you later!! 

R.C.

Dear,

I have just made some corrections on my 2D model, on real costants values and density value of Skeletal elements.

Finally, I have had some results, particularly: maximum deflection (at node 1) = 0.497997 [m]

*if we consider that it's a 2D model, with application of "3D" wind effects on nodes,  the response is largely probable. In fact, some effective data of the tower (also wikipedia..), are in the order of 0.12 [m] for the maximum deflection atop, in case of variable conditions of wind.

Below there is the commands list and the graphical response.

Thanks for your cooperation.

R.Carrieri

Interesting Cauchy and Lame stayed on Paris outskirts  maybe for their undisturbed researches?...

Using an ANSYS model for same height and load bearing functionality (as a visitors' monument) with self weight,wind and earthquake resistance etc., can one optimize/redesign for another structural configuration using only a fraction of weight of steel originally used? What such lighter re-designs have been made so far?
