Abstract:

In this paper, modified solutions were compared through utilizing three different approximate methods for bar structures. The modifications considered various changes in the initial design. To authors' best of knowledge, the studies have carried out on this matter so far are not broad enough and have considerred the simeltaneous variations of size, geometry and topology on the bar structures. In this study, three well-known methods, including combined approximation, rational approximation and the approximate inversion of stiffness matrix methods are formulated. A large variety of problems will be performed with different characteristics to compare the ability of these approaches in determining the suitable approximate modified displacements. Cross sectional properties and nodal coordinates are considered as design variables. Displacement errors and computational efforts of the processes considered as comparison factors. It is shown that the approximate inversion of the stiffness matrix method cannot solve the problems, which requires the modification of structural geometry. Furthermore, the combined approximation and rational approximation methods have the ability of reaching displacements with suitable quality in the problems with a moderate size.

Approximate Dynamic Analysis of Structures for Earthquake Loading Using FWT

Approximate dynamic analysis of structures is achieved by fast wavelet transform (FWT). The loads are considered as time history earthquake loads. To reduce the computational work, FWT is used by which the number of points in the earthquake record are reduced. For this purpose, the theory of wavelets together with filter banks are used. The low and high pass filters are used for the decompositi...

Comparison of different numerical methods for calculating stress intensity factors in analysis of fractured structures

In this research, an efficient Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) along with the h–refinement adaptive process and post–processing error estimation analysis is presented for fracture analysis. The adaptive strategy is used to produce more accurate solution with the least computational cost. To investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the developed model, the GFVM is compared with two versio...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
