TORSIONAL RESPONSE OF FIXED BASE CONNECTION UNDER COMBINED CYCLIC BENDING-TORSIONAL LOADING

Analysis of Thin-Walled Structures Using Torsional-Bending Elements

In this paper a new element for analysis of thin-walled structures is presented, and the effects of secondary shear stresses on longitudinal displacements are examined. Since the Interpolation Functions are based on non-uniform torsional differential equations, the analysis of stiffness matrix is facilitated. Therefore, its ability to produce accurate results with the least number of elements i...

اثر غلتش کشتی حفاری بر خستگی لوله حفاری در شرایط بارگذاری دامنه متغیر

During the offshore drilling operations by drillships or semisubmersible vessels the drillstring in its first drilljoint to the Kelly suffers bending due to float vessel roll or pitch. The cyclic bending stress at any point along the drillstring, is a function of the roll or pitch angle, Kelly position in bushing, and hookload. The cumulative fatigue damage of the drillpipe due to cyclic stress...

Bending Flutter and Torsional Flutter of Flexible Hydrofoil Struts

A large body of experimental and theoretical flutter results for hydrofoil struts were analyzed to determine significant characteristics. Flutter was found to occur in two different structural mode shapes, corresponding to a predominantly bending mode and a predominantly torsional mode, respectively. The flutter mode shape was related to the vibration mode shapes and the generalized mass ratio ...
