TY - JOUR A1 - Galffy, Mozes A1 - Wellmann Jelic, Andres A1 - Hartmann, Dietrich T1 - Lifetime-oriented modelling of vortex-induced across-wind vibrations on bridge tie rods N2 - The influence of vortex-induces vibrations on vertical tie rods has been proved as a determinant load factor in the lifetime-oriented dimensioning of arched steel bridges. Particularly, the welded connection plates between the suspenders and the arches often exhibit cracks induced primarily rods. In this context, the synchronization of the vortex-shedding to the rod motion in a critical wind velocity range, the so-called lock-in effect, is of essential interest.

A1 - Marinov, M. T1 - Towards Optimal Designing of thin elastic Plates with a specific free Oscillations Frequency N2 - Thin elastic plates are the basic constructional elements and are very often subjected to dynamic effects especially in the machine-building structures. Their saving design of resonance conditions of operation is an extremely complicated task which cannot be solved analytically. In the present report an efficient and sufficiently general method for optimal design of thin plates is worked out on the basis of energy resonance method of Wilder, the method of the finite elements for dynamic research and the methods of parameter optimization. By means of these methods various limitations and requirements put by the designer to the plates can be taken into account. A programme module for numerical investigation of the weight variation of the plate depending on the taken variable of the designed thickness at different supporting conditions is developed. The reasons for the considerable quantity and quality difference between the obtained optimal designs are also analysed.

Other examples include the dissipation of heat or sound as well as the simulation of traffic with macroscopic models. The contribution explains the analysis of the applicability of Voronoi-based finite volume methods for the approximation of solutions of transport problems. A special concern is the discretisation of the transport equation. Current limitations of the method as well as ideas for stabilisation are explained with examples.

Parallel finite element method based on domain decomposition method was employed for the numerical simulation of natural phenomena. The present method was applied to the simulation of flood flow and wind flow in urban area.

On the basis of a rigorous time-dependent analysis, structural behaviors of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures according to the changes in design variables such as the types of shoring systems, shore stiffness and shore spacing are analyzed and discussed. The time-dependent deformations of concrete such as creep and shrinkage and construction sequences of frame structures are also taken into account to minimize the structural instability and to reach to an improved design of shoring system because these effects may increase the axial forces delivered to the shores. In advance, the influence of the column shortening effect, generally mentioned in a tall building structure, is analyzed. From many parametric studies, it has been finally concluded that the most effective shoring system in RC frame structures is 2S1R (two shores and one reshore) regardless of the changes in design variables.

A simple numerical modeling technique is proposed for estimating the shear-lag phenomenon in tube structures with multiple internal tubes. The proposed method idealizes the framed-tube structures with multiple internal tubes as equivalent multiple tubes, each composed of four equivalent orthotropic plate panels. The numerical analysis is based on the minimum potential energy principle in conjunction with the variational approach. The shear-lag phenomenon of such structures is studied taking into account the additional bending moments in the tubes. A detailed work is carried out through the numerical analysis of the additional bending moment. The moment factor is further introduced to identify the shear lag phenomenon along with the additional moment.

T1 - Parallele Netzgenerierung N2 - Bei der Berechnung von statischen oder dynamischen Problemen mit Hilfe der Methode der Finiten Elemente ist eine Diskretisierung des zu berechnenden Gebietes notwendig. Bei einer sinnvollen Modellierung des Gebietes ist die Elementgröße meist nicht konstant, sondern ist an kritischen Stellen kleiner. Die Vorgaben hierfür können einerseits aus Erfahrungen des Anwenders, andererseits aus einer Fehlerabschätzung einer vorangegangenen FE-Berechnung resultieren [5]. Soll die FE-Berechnung auf einem Parallelrechner geschehen, ist eine Partitionierung des Gebietes, d.h. eine Zuordnung der Elemente zu den Prozessoren, notwendig. Bei dem hier beschriebenen Ansatz werden nun im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Verfahren erst die Eingangsdaten für den Netzgenerator umgewandelt und dann das Elementnetz direkt auf dem Parallelrecher gleichzeitig auf allen Prozessoren erzeugt. Eine Aufteilung der Elemente auf die Prozessoren entsteht als Nebenprodukt der Netzaufteilung. Die entstehenden Teilgebietsgrenzen werden geometrisch minimiert. Die Lastbalance der Netzaufteilung sowie der FE-Rechnung wird durch ein annähernd gleiche Anzahl der Elemente je Partition gewährleistet. Als Eingabedaten wird eine Beschreibung des Gebietes durch Polygonzüge, sowie einer Netzdichtefunktion, z.B. durch Punkte mit Angaben über die angestrebte Elementgröße, benötigt.
