Finite Element Method. Stability and eigenfrequenciesmarts 2017/LC

FEM calculation of critical loads and eigenfrequencys.

I these notes stability is flexural buckling of compressed structure elements.Instability as buckling of shells and lateral torsional buckling of beams and columns can be treated after the same principles, but this is not included in these notes.Regarding buckling of shells and lateral torsional buckling of beams and columns, it is usually necessary to make a full 3D model of the structure in shell elements. Finite Element theory is used as the basic theory of the topics.

1.0 FEM calculation of forces and deformations for beams.

1.1 Shape functions: Shape functions is the mathematical approximations which describe a deformation of a beam for different impacts. En horizontal beam has 4 degrees of freedom and therefore also 4 shape functions:

A vertical displacement in the left end of the beam.ϕ1 ((x))A torsion of the left end of the beam.ϕ2 ((x))A vertical displacement in the right end of the beam.ϕ3 ((x))A torsion of the right end of the beam.ϕ4 ((x))

Excluding normal forces and horizontal movements, as they are addressed under the topic bars

A shape function can assume all values between 0 or 1.When one shape function has the value 1, all the other shape functions has the value 0.If shape function has the value 1, the torsion angel is 1 in the left end. ϕ2 ((x))The shape functions , and will then take the value 0 ϕ1 ((x)) ϕ3 ((x)) ϕ4 ((x))

The approximations for the shape functions is shown below.

1.6 Distributed loads.

If the structure has a distributed load, the procedure for calculating forces and deformation will be a little more complicated. The distributed load has to be transformed to equivalent nodal forces in the nodes, before computing the deformations.When afterward computing the reactions, the virtual load must be taken out of the calculation to determine the reactions.

Figure 9

The shown distributed load can be written as: =p ((x)) ⋅p ―x

The equivalent nodal forces will be determined from the shape functions:

. In this example the equivalent nodal forces will affect only element 2.=EUi⌠⌡ d⋅ϕi p ((x)) x

2.0 FEM calculation for the critical load for a bar.

2.1 The geometric stiffness matrix derived using the direct method.A thin rod or bar has a relatively low stiffness against deformation perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. If the rod is applied to a normal force, the stiffness against lateral deflection will be changed. If the normal force is tension, the stiffness against shear strain perpendicular to the rods longitudinal direction will become larger. Conversely, a compressive axial force rod quickly render unstable. The geometricstiffness matrix that tells something about the influence of a normal force has on the deformations and stiffness perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The geometric stiffness matrix can be derived in 2 ways. A static view and a mathematical consideration. We start with the static view of a rod. Figure 1 shows a deformed rod supported by springs in all charniers and Figure 2 shows a section of the deformed bar here with a normal force.

2.3 Beams. The direct method.

For a beam the same method can be considered:

Figure 12

Again one can establish some equilibrium equations, however this becomes somewhat more complicated because of the now occurring moments and rotations. The system is statically indeterminate, and it's a little complicated to deduce the geometric stiffness matrix in this way. By using equilibrium equations one can with difficulty find all the terms in the geometric stiffness matrix that looks as shown below. Note that material values and cross sections values are not included in this term. On the other hand, a relationship between normal forces and geometry of the beam is expressed:

2.5 Principle of virtual work for flexural buckling of columns: =Ay Ai

FEM equation, which contain forces and reactions: . This equation is also used for finding shear =⋅Ќ ū Ūforces and moments. If these forces is multiplied with the corresponding deformations we have the internal work . Where is the virtual deformations.=Ai ⋅⋅Tūv Ќ ū. ūv

Performing buckling analysis, it is important to divide the structure parts in to smaller elements. Typically a column is divided in to 10 elements.The nodes in the elements will because of the normal force get a displacement perpendicular to the length of the column, as determined in the geometric stiffness matrix.The multiplication of forces in the nodes and the corresponding deformations will be the external work:

.=Ay ⋅⋅Tūv Ќσ ū

=Ai Ay ⇒ =⋅⋅Tūv Ќ ū ⋅⋅⋅λ Tūv Ќσ ū ⇒ =⋅⋅Tūv ⎛⎝ -Ќ ⋅λ Ќσ⎞⎠ ū 0

We are looking for a condition fore fulfilling the principle of virtual work.To find this condition we can regulate the normal force until .=Ay Ai

This can be done by multiplying a factor to the normal force and therefore to the external work.The result shall be valid for any virtual deformation, so can be divided out of the system:ūv

. is determined from the reduced modified system.=⋅⎛⎝ -Ќ ⋅λ Ќσ⎞⎠ ū 0 ūWe now have a reduced system of equations. Mathematically this is a linear eigenvalue problem, which according to Cramer's Rule can be solved from the equation: . =|| -Ќ ⋅λ Ќσ|| 0

This equation can be satisfied by u1 = u2 = 0, which is not the only workable solution.

If u1 = u2 is not supposed to be 0, it is necessary that the rows in the matrix: are -a1 ⋅λ b1 -a2 ⋅λ b2

-a4 ⋅λ b4⇒ =-⋅(( -a1 ⋅λ b1)) (( -a4 ⋅λ b4)) ⋅(( -a2 ⋅λ b2)) (( -a3 ⋅λ b3)) 0

current axial load, thus there is an equilibrium.The critical load, for example a search column with normal force N is therefore ·N.λ

2.8 Example with a column with support conditions as column 2.

2.8.1 Calculation is done with an L profile L 250·20 as a beam element.

The column is calculated in a FEM software. First as a beam analysis and next as a a shell model.

Beam calculation gives approximately the same result:

2.8.2 Calculation of the L profile L 250x20 as a shell model.

The first instability sits well with bar calculation. The next instabilities seems to vary somewhat from the beam calculation. This is because incomparable deformation shapes are compared. The beam calculationdoes not include deformations of the cross section itself, which is the model with shell elements takes in account.
