Abstract:
A methodology is developed to more accurately estimate the static response of bridges due to moving vehicles. The method can also be used to predict dynamic responses induced by moving vehicles using weigh-in-motion (WIM) techniques. Historically, WIM is a well-developed technology used in highway research, since it has the advantage of allowing for the stealthy automatic collection of weight data for heavy trucks. However, the lack of accuracy in determining the dynamic effect in bridges has limited the potential for its use in estimating the fatigue life of bridge structures and their components. The method developed herein amends the current WIM procedures by filtering the dynamic responses accurately using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Example applications of the proposed method are shown by using computer-generated data. The method is fast and improves the predicted truck weight up to 5% of the actual weight, as compared to errors up to 10% using the current WIM methods.Key words: weigh-in-motion, digital filters, FFT, bridge dynamics, in-service testing.

Abstract:
This work elucidates dynamic control equations of the anchoring system and the derivation of displacement equations and corresponding vibration modes. Furthermore, the anchoring system is found to be composed of three different vibration modes: (1) when ω < (k1/ρ1A1)1/2, the vibration mode of the anchoring section is an exponential function; (2) when ω = (k1/ρ1A1)1/2, the vibration mode of the anchoring section is a parabolic function; (3) when ω > (k1/ρ1A1)1/2, the vibration mode of the anchoring section is a trigonometric function, while all the free sections are trigonometric functions. With an increase of frequency, the amplitude of the bolt exhibits multipeak distribution characteristics and an intermittent amplification phenomenon. When the frequency reaches a certain value, the bolt of the free section exhibits only the amplified state. Under dynamic load, the amplitude of the bolt increases from end of bolt to the maximum in the root. On the other hand, when the frequency is low, the peak position of the roof bolt is stable, and the excitation wave component is the main influencing factor of the peak value of axial force at the root of the bolt, independent of frequency. When the frequency is relatively high, the peak value of the axial force is stable at the interface, and the higher the frequency, the greater the peak value of axial force. Axial force of the bolt has responded strongly to the frequency at the interface, and the farther away from the interface, the weaker the response.

Abstract:
Analysis of non-linear systems is an essential part of engineering structural dynamics. A number of methods have been developed in recent years. Classical Fourier-based methods have been extended to the use of phase plane, combined time-frequency, time-scale approaches and multidimensional spectra. This paper is an attempt to collate in one place some of the recent advances in wavelet analysis for the study of non-linear systems. This includes methods related to system identification based on wavelet ridges and skeletons, damping estimation procedures, wavelet-based frequency response functions, cross-wavelet analysis, self-similar signals, coherent structures and chaos.

Abstract:
Considering that Hilbert-Huang Transformation (HHT) can be used to analyze instantaneous frequency in structural dynamic analysis, this paper proposes the concept of HHT marginal spectrum based time frequency response function. It also defines “central frequency”, which is used to reflect the change of structural dynamic properties during earthquakes, and discloses time-varying development of seismic structural damage. Using a three-story shear frame model, which is subjected to the El Centro seismic wave, the HHT time frequency response analysis of its acceleration response has been made, results show that the adoption of central frequency can successfully indicate the damage inception instant and its development.

Abstract:
<span>The article substantiates the necessity of identifying the dynamics of asynchronous electric drives with frequency control. It is proposed to use nonlinear transfer functions and the formula of a family of frequency responses of an electric drive, depending on the frequency of the stator voltage and slip. Experiments and simulations confirming theoretical conclusions are presented. The frequency responses of the drive of the stand calculated by the proposed method allowed to explain those problems of frequency control that were not explained by traditional methods - analytical, vector diagrams, substitution schemes, etc. This same technique allowed us to formulate a structural correction of the asynchronous electric drives. In contrast to the previously published research materials of asynchronous electric drives, a detailed qualitative analysis of the obtained nonlinear frequency responses and the interrelation of these characteristics with experimental results is shown for the first time in the article.</span>

Abstract:
As the requirements for industrial operation and military work, the frequency characteristics should be changed artificially sometimes. Active control is a good choice, but the current active control mainly focuses on time domain for vibration control. In this paper, the structural active control on frequency domain is studied through theory and experiment. Firstly, multivariable wavelet finite element method with two kinds of variables (TWFEM) which is suitable for modeling of great and complex structures with high efficiency and precision is used to construct the mathematical model for the controlled structure and do static and dynamic analysis. Then the control algorithm based on neural network including two parts, identification implement and controller is constructed. The present study takes frequency response as control objective, and can not only do vibration control but also change the vibration frequency characteristics, providing a new perspective for active control.

Abstract:
With the increased size of the finite element model for improved accuracy, the modal frequency response analysis has been one of the common practices of evaluating the performance of vehicle dynamics. However, there is difficulty in predicting the vehicle dynamics response with non-proportional damping regarding performance. The fast frequency response analysis algorithm (FFRA) has been proved to be very effective for partially damped structural system in the modal frequency response analysis. In the fast frequency response analysis algorithm, performance depends mainly on the complex symmetric matrix eigenvalue problem. Therefore, an efficient complex symmetric matrix eigenvalue problem solver is developed in this article. This approach also uses parallel processing in a shared memory machine for more efficient analysis. Numerical examples show that the new complex symmetric matrix eigensolver provides good accuracy and high performance. Then, the fast frequency response analysis algorithm is applied to a full scale vehicle system that includes only a few viscous damping finite elements. The fast frequency response analysis algorithm significantly improves the performance of the modal frequency response analysis compared to conventional method. In addition, parallel processing improves the efficiency of the overall simulation.

Abstract:
Wavelet analysis is applied to identify the time-variant dynamics of adaptive structures. The wavelet-based power spectrum of the structural response, wavelet-based frequency response function (FRF) and wavelet-based coherence are used to identify continuously and abruptly varying natural frequencies. A cantilever plate with surface-bonded macro fibre composite—which alters the structural stiffness—is used to demonstrate the application of the methods. The results show that the wavelet-based input–output characteristics—i.e. the FRF and coherence—can identify correctly the dynamics of the analysed time-variant system and reveal the varying natural frequency. The wavelet-based coherence can be used not only for the assessment of the quality of the wavelet-based FRF but also for the identification. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Redundancy rules: the continuous wavelet transform comes of age’.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate means of efficiently assessing the effects of distributed structural modification on the dynamic properties of a complex structure. The helicopter structure is normally designed to avoid resonance at the main rotor rotational frequency. However, very often military helicopters have to be modified (such as to carry a different weapon system or an additional fuel tank) to fulfill operational requirements. Any modification to a helicopter structure has the potential of changing its resonance frequencies and mode shapes. The dynamic properties of the modified structure can be determined by experimental testing or numerical simulation, both of which are complex, expensive and time-consuming. Assuming that the original dynamic characteristics are already established and that the modification is a relatively simple attachment such as beam or plate modification, the modified dynamic properties may be determined numerically without solving the equations of motion of the full-modified structure. The frequency response functions (FRFs) of the modified structure can be computed by coupling the original FRFs and a delta dynamic stiffness matrix for the modification introduced. The validity of this approach is investigated by applying it to several cases, 1) 1D structure with structural modification but no change in the number of degree of freedom (DOFs). A simply supported beam with double thickness in the middle section is treated as an example for this case; 2) 1D structure with additional DOFs. A cantilever beam to which a smaller beam is attached is treated as an example for this case, 3) 2D structure with a reduction in DOFs. A four-edge-clamped plate with a cut-out in the centre is treated as an example for this case; and 4) 3D structure with additional DOFs. A box frame with a plate attached to it as structural modification with additional DOFs and combination of different structures. The original FRFs were obtained numerically and experimentally except for the first case. The delta dynamic stiffness matrix was determined numerically by modelling the part of the modified structure including the modifying structure and part of the original structure at the same location. The FRFs of the modified structure were then computed. Good agreement is obtained by comparing the results to the FRFs of the modified structure determined experimentally as well as by numerical modelling of the complete modified structure.

Abstract:
Floors have traditionally been designed only for strength and deflection serviceability. As technological advances have been made in medical, scientific and micro-electronics manufacturing, many types of equipment have become sensitive to vibration of the supporting floor. Thus, vibration serviceability has become a routinely evaluated limit state for floors supporting sensitive equipment. Equipment vibration tolerance limits are sometimes expressed as waveform peak acceleration, and are more often expressed as narrowband spectral acceleration, or one-third octave spectral velocity. Current floor vibration prediction methods, such as those found in the American Institute of Steel Construction Design Guide 11, Floor Vibrations Due to Human Activity, the British Steel Construction Institute P354, Design of Floors for Vibration: a New Approach and the British Concrete Centre CCIP-016 A Design Guide for Footfall Induced Vibration of Structures, have limitations. It has been observed that non-structural components such as light-weight partitions could significantly change floor dynamic properties. Current prediction methods do not provide a fundamental frequency manual prediction method nor finite element modeling guidance for floors with non-structural components. Current prediction methods only predict waveform peak acceleration and do not provide predictions for frequency domain response including narrowband spectral acceleration or one-third octave spectral velocity. Also, current methods are not calibrated to provide a specific level of conservatism. This research project provides (1) a fundamental frequency manual prediction method for floors with lightweight partitions; (2) an improved finite element modeling procedure for floors with light-weight partitions; (3) a procedure to predict the vibration response in narrow-band spectrum and one-third octave band spectrum which can be directly compared with vibration tolerance limits; and (4) a simplified experimental procedure to estimate the floor natural frequencies. An experimental program including four steel-framed building floors and a concrete was completed. Modal tests were performed on two of the steel-framed buildings and the concrete building using an electrodynamic shaker. Experimental modal analysis techniques were used to estimate the modal properties: natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping ratios. Responses to walking excitation were measured several times in each tested bay for individuals walking at different walking speeds. During each test, the walker crossed the middle of the bay using a metronome to help maintain the intended cadence. The proposed method was used to predict the modal properties and responses to walking. The measurements are used to assess the precision of the proposed methods and to calibrate the prediction methods to provide a specific probability that the actual response will exceed the predicted response. Comparison of measurements and predictions shows the proposed methods are sufficiently accurate for design usage.

Abstract:
Higher speeds and higher capacity will cause the Swedish rail network to be exposed to disturbing dynamic effects. Higher speeds cause higher vertical acceleration levels of the bridge deck. In this thesis, a numerical analysis of a three span end-frame bridge subjected to train induced vibrations is performed. The aim is to identify which structural components and boundary conditions that affect the dynamic behavior of the bridge. Furthermore, the influence of soil structure interaction (SSI) will be investigated as it may have contribution to the stiffness and damping of the structural system.  In order to capture the dynamic response of the bridge, an analysis in the frequency domain was preformed where frequency response functions (FRF) and acceleration envelopes were obtained. For this purpose, a detailed FE-model in 3D was created. Three different cases were studied, model subjected to ballast, model subjected to soil and model subjected to both ballast and soil in coherence. A high speed load model (HSLM) was used to create simulation of train passages at different speeds and applied to all cases so that the bridge deck accelerations could be studied. A simplified 2D-model with impedance functions representing the soil-structure interaction was created to validate the results from the detailed 3D-model and for practical design purposes.  The result of this numerical analysis showed that the vertical accelerations were within acceptable levels of the maximum allowed limits given in governing publications. Considering the surrounding soil, the results revealed an increase of the dynamic response in the midspan at resonant frequency. However, it was identified that this behavior is not explained by the influence of soil structure interaction but rather the change in boundary conditions of the end-shields. The same dynamic behavior was identified for the simplified 2D-model, with a slight underestimation of the vertical accelerations at resonance.

The automotive sector is continuously evolving and the companies are well aware of therising demands from customers with regard to driving comfort and experience. Trucks carryingheavy loads are often equipped with on-built bodywork, for example a box for pallets and goods, agarbage collector device or a supporting frame for carrying timber. SCANIA bodybuilding centredevelops guidelines for selecting different types of bodywork, i.e. the type of supporting frame,design and number of attachment brackets, attachment points. The purpose of this master thesisis to develop a better understanding of how the supporting frame and its attachments in a truckinfluence the chassis frame dynamics and to propose improvements to these guidelines.Major parameters influencing the chassis dynamics were identified and described from theoutset. Physical vibration testing of the chassis-subframe assembly was carried out at roadsimulator. The frequency response functions from the measurements were used to determinethe modal parameters. Several tests were performed by altering the parameters and recordingthe measurements. The results from the test cases were used to study and analyse the eigenfrequencies, mode shapes and damping in the system. Also, a new method to build a dynamicfinite element (FE) model of chassis and subframe is presented in this study. Modal analysisof the chassis-subframe assembly was done to study the eigen frequencies and mode shapes byFEM. The proposed method of coupling the chassis and the subframe is critically assessed bycorrelating the results from FE simulation with the experimental results. Based on the resultsfrom experiment and numerical simulation, new recommendations are proposed with regard tothe bodywork attachments’ configuration in the truck.

Abstract:
This thesis investigated the application of seismic analysis methods and the response of idealized shear frames subjected to seismic loading. To complete this research, a Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) for a project site in San Luis Obispo, CA, and five past earthquake records were considered. The DBE was produced per the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-10) and used for application of the Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure (ELFP) and Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA). When applying RSA, the modal peak responses were combined using the Absolute Sum (ABS), Square-Root-of-the-Sum-of-Squares (SRSS), and Complete Quadratic Combination (CQC) method. MATLAB scripts were developed to produce several displacement, velocity, and acceleration spectrums for each earthquake. Moreover, MATLAB scripts were written to yield both analytical and numerical solutions for each system through application of Linear Time History Analysis (THA). To obtain analytical solutions, two implicit forms of the Newmark-beta Method were employed: the Average Acceleration Method and the Linear Acceleration Method. To generate a comparison, the ELFP, RSA, and THA methods were applied to shear frames up to ten stories in height. The system parameters that impacted the accuracy of each method and the response of the systems were analyzed, including the effects of classical damping and nonclassical damping models. In addition to varying levels of Rayleigh damping, non-linear hysteric friction spring dampers (FSDs) were implemented into the systems. The design of the FSDs was based on target stiffness values, which were defined as portions of the system’s lateral stiffness. To perform the required Nonlinear Time History Analysis (NTHA), a SAP2000 model was developed. The efficiencies of the FSDs at each target stiffness, with and without the addition of low levels of viscous modal damping are analyzed. It was concluded that the ELFP should be supplemented by RSA when performing seismic response analysis. Regardless of system parameters, the ELFP yielded system responses 30% to 50% higher than RSA when combing responses with the SRSS or CQC method. When applying RSA, the ABS method produced inconsistent and inaccurate results, whereas the SRSS and CQC results were similar for regular, symmetric systems. Generally, the SRSS and CQC results were within 5% of the analytical solution yielded through THA. On the contrary, for irregular structures, the SRSS method significantly underestimated the response, and the CQC method was four to five times more accurate. Additionally, both the Average Acceleration Method and Linear Acceleration Method yielded numerical solutions with errors typically below 1% when compared with the analytical solution. When implemented into the systems, the FSDs proved to be most efficient when designed to have stiffnesses that were 50% of the lateral stiffness of each story. The addition of 1% modal damping to the FSDs resulted in quicker energy dissipation without significantly reducing the peak response of the system. At a stiffness of 50%, the FSDs reduced the displacement response by 40% to 60% when compared with 5% modal damping. Additionally, the FSDs at low stiffnesses exhibited the effects of negative lateral stiffness due to P-delta effects when the earthquake ground motions were too weak to induce sliding in the ring assemblies.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a response-only method in frequency domain for structural damage detection by using the derivative of natural frequency curve of beam-like structures with a traversing auxiliary mass. The approach just uses the response time history of beam-like structures and does not need the external source of force excitation. The natural frequencies of a damaged beam with a traversing auxiliary mass change due to change in flexibility and inertia of the beam as the auxiliary mass is traversed along the beam. Therefore the auxiliary mass can enhance the effects of the crack on the dynamics of the beam and, therefore, facilitating locating the damage in the beam. That is, the auxiliary mass can be used to probe the dynamic characteristic of the beam by traversing the mass from one end of the beam to the other. However, it is impossible to obtain accurate modal frequencies by the direct operation of the Fast Fourier Transform of the response data of the structure because the frequency spectrum can be only calculated from limited sampled time data which results in the well-known leakage effect. A spectrum correction method is employed to estimate high accurate frequencies of structures with a traversing auxiliary mass. In the present work, the modal responses of damaged simply supported beams with auxiliary mass are computed using the Finite Element Analysis. The graphical plots of the natural frequencies versus axial location of auxiliary mass are obtained. The derivatives of natural frequency curve can provide crack information for damage detection of beam-like structures. However, it is suggested that the derivative do not go beyond the third derivative of natural frequency curves to avoid the difference approximation error which will be magnified at higher derivative. The sensitivity of crack index for different noise, crack depth, auxiliary mass and damping ratio are also investigated. The simulated result demonstrated the efficiency and precision of the response-only frequency-domain method which can be recommended for the real application in structural damage detection.

Abstract This paper describes basic concepts and finite element method of dynamic stress response analysis. It provides basics of stress modal analysis and frequency response analysis. The paper defines concepts of normal mode stresses and complex stress frequency response functions for shell elements and shows that element stress responses in both time and frequency domains can be expressed as superposition of normal mode stresses. It demonstrates that element stress response solutions have the similar forms to those of node displacement responses and that normal mode stresses in stress analysis play the same role as mode shapes in normal vibration analysis.

Abstract:
In the last decade, there is a renewed interest in the integration of a sloshing tank into structural systems to decrease the vibrations of the structure. The purpose of this study is to try different numerical simulation programs for further use in studies in evaluation of the effectiveness of the sloshing tank absorbers for structural systems. The programs chosen for sloshing simulations are COMSOL Multiphysics®, ANSYS CFX and ANSYS-FLUENT. In the numerical simulations, the free surface shape during sloshing will be simulated under small and large amplitude sinusoidal displacements. The results obtained using different software will be compared with the results of the experiments reported in literature. Since the purpose is to use the sloshing forces on the container to decrease the structural response, the total force on the container walls is calculated and compared with the reported experimental results. The dynamics of a container coupled with the a structural model is simulated and forces applied on the container walls are analyzed in the frequency domain which is important in understanding the tuning of the vibration absorber. To the best of authors’ knowledge, in a fluid-structure coupled system the frequency domain analysis of the container wall forces at varying amplitudes of sinusoidal excitation is not presented in literature. The results showed even though higher harmonic forcing magnitudes increase with increasing base motion, the fundamental harmonic component does not change significantly.

Abstract:
In designing fixed offshore platforms located in regions of severe wave conditions, the potential resonant response of the hull structure due to wave loads must be checked. Since the natural frequency of vibration of the hull structure is typically much higher than the dominant design wave frequency, conventional wave load analysis based on linear wave theory does not show dynamic amplification. However, it is known that steep waves are nonlinear and may contain significant energy at higher harmonics of the fundamental frequency. When the forcing frequency of the higher-harmonic wave load is close to the natural frequency of the structural vibration, a resonance i.e. ringing will occur and the structural dynamic response will be significantly amplified. This paper describes an analysis procedure to estimate high-frequency dynamic load on a Gravity Based Structure (GBS) exposed to severe sea states using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and modal analysis. To fill the statistical gap between the extreme values from short-duration CFD-modal analysis and that from 3-hour design sea states, an approximation method has been developed to estimate the global dynamic load from the measured quasi-static load in earlier model test and to obtain a calibration factor for the CFD-modal analysis results.

Abstract:
Abstract In conventional vibration testing, measurement of frequency response function (FRF) has been limited to translational degrees of freedom (DOF). Rotational DOFs have not been treated in experimental analysis. However, the rotational DOF is indispensable in further analysis, such as substructure synthesis, prediction of structural dynamics modification, etc. Hence, measurement of FRFs on rotational DOF is essential for expanding applicability of experimental modal analysis. This paper proposes a new method for FRF estimation on rotational DOF of structures. The following is the estimation procedure: A rigid block is fixed on the measurement point of the structure; the block is excited by conventional impact hammer; the inner force and the response of the connection point including rotational DOFs are estimated; and lastly, the FRF including rotational DOF at the connection point of the structure is obtained. The feasibility of the method is investigated experimentally by applying it to a beam structure.

Abstract:
Modal analysis is a powerful tool to identify the dynamic characteristics of structures. Every structure vibrates with high amplitude of vibration at its resonant frequency. It is imperative to know the modal parameters — resonant frequency, mode shape and damping characteristics of the structure at its varying operating conditions for improving its strength and reliability at the design stage. The paper elucidates the behavior of a two storey metallic structure modeled to understand its dynamic characteristics of structure with the help of vibration dynamic signal analyzer, accelerometer, impact hammer and post-data analysis software. Single reference testing method has been used for the experimental analysis. Frequency response functions (FRFs) have been analysed with the help of modal analysis software. The theoretical modal analysis technique has also been investigated using finite element method (FEM). The results obtained from the theoretical and experimental analysis have been compared to draw the conclusion.

Abstract:
A finite element model of a structure can be updated as certain criteria based on experimental data are satisfied. The updated FE model is considered a better model for future studies in dynamic response prediction, structural modification, and damage identification. A finite element model updating technique incorporating the concept of response surface approximation (RSA) requires no sensitivity calculations and is much easier to implement with a general-purpose finite element code. The proposed updating method was incorporated with MSC. Nastran to solve the updating problem for an H-shaped frame structure. The updated results show that the predicted and experimental modes are correlated well with high MAC values and with a maximum frequency difference of 1.5%. Moreover, the updated parameters provide a physical insight to the modeling of bolted and welded joints of the H-frame structure.

Abstract:
This paper describes compensation for scaling and frequency distortion errors arising from non-ideal sensor placement on mechanical structures. The mathematical approach is based on receptance coupling techniques for assembly dynamics prediction and offers a hybrid method where measured and modeled component frequency response functions, or receptances, are analytically coupled using rigid, flexible, or flexible/damped compatibility conditions to predict the assembly response at any spatial location. This method offers an alternative to existing finite element analysis packages that can accurately describe natural frequencies and mode shapes, but are generally less successful at predicting properly-scaled assembly dynamic responses. The ability to accurately predict assembly dynamics allows sensor data recorded at one location on the structure to be compensted for the structural dynamics between the measurement point and actual location of interest. Additionally, knowledge of the response at any location on the structure enables mode shape prediction and, therefore, selection of high signal-to-noise ratio sensor locations.

Abstract:
Abstract The frequency domain of many problems in structural dynamics encompasses a wide range, covering nearly static behavior up to vibration flow characteristics similar to heat transfer. This work presents an uniform approach for low and high frequency vibration analysis, which is based on Finite Element modeling of the structure. Vibrations in the low frequency range are determined by an efficient superposition technique of complex modes, which accounts accurately for any linear damping effect. The modal method is extended to the high frequency domain by applying different levels of averaging to the response and eigenfrequencies and by the introduction of random properties of modeshapes. The high frequency domain is defined by the size of the Finite Elements, i.e. short wave lengths of high frequency modeshapes cannot be represented by the FE-model. The response computation of isolated structures is extended to substructures of complex systems by prescribing stochastic multi-support base excitation at the substructure boundaries. It may be noted, that the presented approach of stochastic high frequency dynamics contains, as special cases, the expressions of the structural response of Statistical Energy Analysis, Bolotin’s integral method and the results of Asymptotic Modal Analysis.

Abstract:
Abstract Excessive and unstable vibrations that are caused by the machining forces are among the most critical problems that limit the use of industrial robots instead of CNC machine tools. Reduction and control of robot’s vibrations during machining require accurate models of the robot’s vibration response to the dynamic forces exerted at the Tool Centre Point (TCP) where the cutting tool interacts with the workpiece material. The existing models of vibrations in robotic machining have been formed by assuming the linearity of the dynamic response at the TCP. In this paper, the accuracy of this assumption is investigated experimentally, and the results show that the dynamic response at the TCP is strongly nonlinear. An experimental procedure is presented to identify the nonlinearities by employing the first-order Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) measured using various input force excitations. Nonlinear Complex Mode Analysis is then used to extract the modal parameters of the system when its dynamics is linearized around a harmonic response with a constant amplitude. The extracted modal parameters strongly depend on the amplitude of the applied force and the resulting vibrations. This study highlights the need for considering the nonlinearities of the structural dynamics of industrial robots in modelling machining vibrations.
