Postdoc (2 years) on Machine learning techniques for interpretation of vibrational data

Additive manufacturing of metal alloys yields great potential for the aerospace industry (and others) as it allows the generation of geometrically complex structures with high specific strength, low density and high corrosion resistance. For example, General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, Boeing incorporated more than 300 printed parts in their 777X airplane … For such critical applications, the structural quality of printed parts is of utmost importance. Small deviations in print conditions, e.g.

Seeking a Postdoc position on vibrations

Hi everyone,

I have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and seek a postdoc position on vibrations.

My research interests mainly include:

Fontanela instability in non-linear oscillators with cyclic symmetry

I wanted to bring attention to the very important Fontanela et al recent results in vibrations of cyclic structures like in turbine engines.

A ``small'' but interesting riddle from the theory of vibrations

A ``small'' but interesting riddle from the basic theory of vibrations. Haven't run into it in any physics/classical mechanics text/reference.

OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS IN BENDING : NEW TEST DATA

A paper by Kubelwa et al. (Statistical Modelling of Bending Stress in ACSR Overhead Transmission Line Conductors subjected to Aeolian Vibrations –I) reports data from vibration tests on 4 ACSR.  under  3 axial loads (20, 25 and 30% UTS). An 84.5 m conductor span is vibrated at various bending amplitudes and strain is measured near a clamped end (distance not given). Clamps are rigid square-faced bushings. Vibration amplitude is measured at 89 mm from bushing. Strain gages are glued on 3 adjacent top layer wires.

How to recover eigenvector components for specified displacements ?

I have a problem visualising specified displacements from a modal/buckling analysis. 

When solving the algebraic system of equations [K]{u}={f} resulting from FEA discretization, the vector {u} does not have components for the specified displacements, zero or not zero, because the corresponding degrees of freedon (dof) have been eliminated. To visualize all the displacements, even the ones that are specified, we recover them from the input data to create a longer vector {u|u*} where {u} are the active dof and {u*} are the specified dof, zero or not zero. 

Adina Vibrations

Hi,

I´m analizing the modes of a structure but I don´t know how to plot the different modes (I only see the first one). I´m using  Adina 8.7.3.

Thank you very much! 

gap of von mises stress between Ansys and Abqus

Hello ,

 I am doing the correlation between Ansys and Abaqud for a shroud of cooling module (solid 92-C3D10) .I find the coorelation is perfect in frequency , but when i do the powerspectral density analysis, i noticed a gap of 10-20% on the peak value of nodal von mises stress ,  i'd like to know the reason of the diffrence .

 

 

Thank You .


 

Free Vibrations of Nonuniform Timoshenko Beams II

This post contains the equations of nonuniform Timoshenko beam theory, a seconf order finite difference method for the solution of the free vibrations thereof and a Scilab computer program implementation. The implementation also allows for the calculation of static deflection for a user specified load distribution that can also contain point loads. A number of static and free vibration examples are given.

I hope this can be useful to students and others.

[LS-DYNA] Attenuating vibrations of shell element after an explosion

Free Tags: 

Hello!

The model I'm working on in LS-DYNA is a simple pyramid-shaped shell constrained along the bottom edges with all DOF taken. The material used is MAT_PIECEWISE_LINEAR_PLASTICITY. Above the model there's a LOAD_BLAST (Air burst) placed, which deforms the model after the explosion.
The issue is that the model seems to vibrate ininitely after the explosion, what can be seen on the attached images (first one shows the graph of "Rigid Body Displacement", second one shows close-up of the line within the yellow rectangle).
