Foreword.

The contents of this book can be divided into two parts. The first part contains

instructions for harmonic analysis, dynamic analysis of transients, spectral analysis. It

details the features of these programs, the possible options of their application, are

some examples. For example, in the chapters on harmonic analysis and the analysis

of transients considered three possible methods: full, truncated (reduced) using the

main degrees of freedom, and the method of superposition of modes. The advantages

and disadvantages of each of these methods.

The second part is devoted to some theoretical illustrations issues discussed in

the first part. For example, the theoretical basis of the method of superposition of

modes (in Russian literature it is called the method of expansion in their own forms).

Briefly reviewed random fluctuations. Briefly reviewed univariate and multivariate

analysis, as well as issues of cross-correlation spectral densities. Of course, this

review is in no way claim to be complete and only serves as the first part.

1. HARMONIC ANALYSIS

1.1. Introduction

Cyclic load will result in a harmonic response of mechanical systems.

Harmonic analysis is used to find the steady response of linear systems loaded with

Page 5: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

5

sinusoidal forces. The calculation is performed by finding the system response at

several frequencies and plot the frequency response. Maximum response found on the

schedule and will meet the maximum stresses in the structure. Harmonic analysis is

used for finding the maximum levels steady vibration. Transients are not evaluated in

this kind of analysis.

Harmonic analysis is a linear analysis. Some non-linearity, such as plasticity,

contact phenomena, or gaps will be ignored, even if they are defined in the system.

The harmonic analysis can be applied to prestressed designs, such as a violin string

(assuming that the voltage of the harmonic load substantially less than that of the

prestressing).

There are three methods of analysis: full, truncated and the method of

superposition of modes. (Fourth, relatively "expensive" - a method of transient

analysis for a harmonic load, represented as a function of time). Program ANSYS /

Linear Plus allows only the method of superposition of modes. Before learning how

to use these methods, consider the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

1.2 Complete Method

The complete method is the simplest of the three methods. It uses the full

system matrices to calculate the harmonic amplitudes of vibration. Matrices may be

symmetric or symmetric. Full advantage of the method are:

Easier to use because you do not have to worry about choosing the main

degrees of freedom, or their own forms;

It uses the full matrix, so that the approximation of the mass matrix is not

needed;

It allows you to use non symmetric matrices that are typical for some

applications, particularly for acoustic problems;

It calculates the displacements and stresses;

It supports all types of loads: forces at the nodes specified (non-zero)

displacement, load elements (temperature and pressure).

He makes good use of solid-state load.

Page 6: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

6

The disadvantage is that it does not allow for pre-loading. Another disadvantage of

this method is that it is relatively "expensive" compared with the other two methods.

1.3 Truncated method.

Truncated method allows you to reduce the size of the problem by using the

main degrees of freedom of the system matrices and acronyms. After calculating the

displacement degrees of freedom on the main solution can be extended to the

original, the full set of degrees of freedom. Advantages of this method:

It works faster and is less "expensive" than a complete method;

It takes into account the effect of the preload;

Disadvantages of this method:

In the first step we calculate only move along the main degrees of freedom.

The second step determines the complete displacement and stress;

Load elements (pressure, temperature) are not included;

All loads may be applied only to the principal degrees of freedom of the

user's choice. (This limits the use of solid-state load);

1.4 Superposition method mod.

The method of superposition of modes based on the summation of factors

eigenmodes of modal analysis. Its advantages are:

It is faster than the full and truncated methods for most tasks;

Load on the elements attached to the (previous) modal analysis can be

applied to harmonic analysis using the LVSCALE;

It allows you to "thicken" the decision to design ranges of natural

frequencies. This allows you to get a more accurate response curves;

Effects of preload can be addressed;

This method allows for the modal damping (as a function of frequency).

Disadvantages of the method:

Not specified zero displacement shall not apply;

Page 7: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

7

When the program is used to find the POWER DYNAMICS natural

frequencies (modal analysis) the initial conditions can not be pre-applied

loads.

All three methods have a common limitation:

All loads must be sinusoidal law changes over time;

All loads must have the same frequency;

Nonlinearity is not taken into account;

Transients are not calculated.

You can work around some of these restrictions using stationary dynamic

analysis with harmonic loads, represented as a function of time.

2. Solution of the problem of harmonic analysis.

First we give a detailed description of harmonic analysis using the full method,

and then give the difference for the truncated method and the method of superposition

of modes.

The procedure for solving the problem consists of three basic steps:

1. Construction of the model.

2. Application of loads and to obtain a decision.

3. Evaluation of the results.

Construction of the model. In this step you define the name of the task, then the task

header using the preprocessor define element type, real constants, material properties

and geometry of the model.

Note 1) When harmonic analysis takes into account only the linear behavior of the

model. Nonlinear elements are interpreted as linear. For example, if you switch

contact elements to the model, their rigidity are calculated at the initial stage, and

does not change thereafter.

Note 2) Must be carefully defined modulus EX (or stiffness in any other form), and

density (DENS) (or mass). Properties of the materials to be linear isotropic or

Page 8: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

8

orthotropic, temperature-dependent or constant. Nonlinear material properties are

ignored.

2.1. Application of loads and to obtain a decision.

In this step, you define the type of analysis and its options, a load is applied,

specify options load steps and initiate a solution.

The maximum response of the system will be at frequencies coinciding with its own

frequencies. Before the solution of the problem of harmonic analysis is useful to

determine the natural frequencies of modal analysis.

1. Enter into the solutions with the command / SOLU or in the interface: Main

Menu> Solution

2. Determine the type of analysis and its options (Table 2.1)

Option method of solution allows you to select one of the following methods:

Complete Method (Fool method);

Option output format (Solution Listing Format) allows you to define how the

harmonic movement will be printed (Jobname. OUT). You can choose to output the

real and imaginary parts, or amplitude and phase angle.

Option form of the mass matrix (LUMPM).

This option is used by default or consistent mass matrix approximation lumped

(in this case the mass matrix is diagonal). We recommend this option to accept the

default for most applications. For some problems, using "thin" system, such as thin

beams or very thin shell approximation of the mass matrix using lumped masses often

leads to better results. Mass matrix approximation using concentrated masses requires

less time and memory solutions.

After filling in all the fields of the dialog "box" options harmonic analysis,

click on the "OK" button and a dialog will appear the second "box", where you

choose the method of solutions.

Option "A method of solving" [EQSLV]. You can choose the frontal method

(default), the method of Jacobi joined gradients (JCG), The method of incomplete

Cholesky connected gradients (ICCG). Frontal method is recommended for most

problems in mechanics.

3. The application loads the model.

Harmonic analysis by definition implies that the applied loads vary

sinusoidally in time. For a complete description of harmonic loads using three

parameters: amplitude, phase angle, the frequency range (Figure 2.1).

Fig. 2.1.

Page 10: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

10

Amplitude - this is the maximum load value that can be selected by using the

commands shown in table 2.2.

Phase angle - is the measured time at which the load is delayed or ahead

relative to a given point in time. On the complex diagram (see Figure 2.1), this angle

is measured with respect to the real axis. The phase angle is only required if there are

multiple loads with different phases. For example, the unbalanced rotation of the

antenna shown in Fig. 2.2 would lead to vertical loads in four reference points with

different phase angles.

Fig.2.2

The phase angle can not be injected directly. For this it is necessary to

determine the real and imaginary component, and using the value VALUE1

VALUE2 in the appropriate command task load. Fig. 2.1 shows how to determine the

real and imaginary components.

Frequency range is a range of frequencies of the harmonic load. It is defined

later in the option of load steps with the command HARFRQ.

Note 1. Harmonic analysis of the reaction can not rely on the simultaneous

action of several forces having different frequency, for example from two machines

Page 11: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

11

with different angular velocities, operating simultaneously. Although you can use to

account for POST1 joint action of these forces.

Table 2.2 shows the load applicable for static analysis. The exception is the

inertial loads, which you can attach to a solid model (points, lines, surfaces), or finite-

element model (nodes and elements).

Key features include the following:

Number of harmonics solutions [NSUBST]

You can request a certain number of harmonics in the decision. Solution

(steps) will be placed within the selected frequency interval [HARFRQ]. For

example, if you select the 10 harmonics in the range of 30 to 40 Hz, the

program will calculate the responses to 31, 32, 33, ... 39 and 40 Hz. The

reaction was not calculated on the lower frequency band.

Stepwise or gradual loading [KBC].

Load can be stepwise or continuously. By default, it is smooth, this means that the

amplitude of the load is gradually increased with each step. Stepwise load [KBS, 1]

means that the amplitude of the load is kept constant for all steps in the frequency

range.

Frequency range forces [HARFRQ].

The frequency range must be specified in the number of cycles per unit time. Within

this range, you can then select the number of harmonics to be calculated.

Damping.

Page 14: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

14

Damping in the system must be carefully defined, otherwise can be infinite amplitude

at the resonance frequency. Frequency-dependent damping coefficients entered teams

ALPHAD (proportional to the mass matrix) and BETAD (Proportional to the

stiffness matrix),and frequency-independent damping coefficient by the command

DMPRAT.

RemarkIf damping is not defined in the direct method of harmonic analysis, the

program uses zero damping.

Options presentation of the results include the following:

Print Output [OUTPR] Use this option to include a variety of data results in the

output file (Jobname.OUT).

The database and the data in the result output file [OUTRES]. This option

controls the data in the output file (Jobname.RST).

Extrapolation of the results [ERESX]. Using this option allows you to view the

results on the elements of copying them to the nodes instead of extrapolating

(default).

5. Save a copy of the database in a file named. You can then re-ignite your model,

and introducing restarting ANSYS command RESUME.

Team SAVE. Interface: Utility Menu> File> Save as.

6. Running solutions. Team SOLVE. Interface Main Menu> Solution> Solve -

Current LS.

7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other additional loads and other frequency bands. If you

plan to pursue post-processing (POST26), the frequency ranges must not overlap

between load steps. Another method of increasing load steps is to maintain the

loading steps in the file, and then obtaining solutions using a macro.

8. Exit solutions.

2.2. View the results.

Harmonic analysis results are recorded in the results file Jobname.RST They

consist of the following data, each of which depends on the frequency for which the

solution was obtained:

Direct data.

Page 15: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

15

Move nodes (UX, UY, UZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ).

Derived data:

Voltage at the nodes and elements;

Deformation at the nodes and elements;

Forces in the elements;

Reaction sites, etc.

If you define the system damping, her reaction will not be in phase with the

acting forces. The results of calculations are complex numbers are stored as real and

imaginary parts. Complete results will be obtained if the system is applied to several

forces that differ in phases.

2.3. Postprocessors.

You can view the results using the postprocessor or POST26 or POST1.

Usually first used to identify POST26 frequency at which the maximum displacement

will (or voltage), choose the most interesting points of the model and then used to

study objects POST1 pattern in these critical regimes.

POST1 is used to display the results in model objects at certain

frequencies;

POST26 allows you to view the results in some points of the model in

some frequency bands.

Some typical operations postprocessors for harmonic analysis are given

below. It must be remembered that:

To view the results in POST1 and POST26 database must contain the

same storage model for which the solution is obtained;

Must be received by the resulting file (Jobname.RST).

Using POST26

The result is a table of POST26. Each variable has its own reference

number, the first number is reserved for frequency.

1. Define variables using these options:

3. Truncated method

Truncated method uses truncated matrix for the harmonic analysis. Solution of

the problem consists of the following steps:

1. Construction of the model;

2. Application of loads and getting truncated solutions;

3. View Results truncated solutions.

4. Expanding the solution

5. View Results expanded solutions.

The first step of course, is exactly the same as for the full model.

3.1. Application of loads and getting truncated solutions.

In the method we mean truncated principal degree of freedom.

1. Enter processor solutions.

Team / SOLU Interface: Main menu> Solution

2. Determine the type of analysis and options. Options truncated analysis are

the same as for the full method.

Select the method for solving a truncated;

You can include the effects of prestressing [PSTRES]. This requires the

element files from the previous static or transient dynamic analysis.

Page 24: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

3. Identify key degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom are the main

determinants or dynamic degrees of freedom that define the dynamic

behavior of the system. For dynamic analysis of a truncated main degrees of

freedom are selected based on the location on the system where you want to

apply force or zero displacement.

4. Apply the load on the model. The harmonic load may be the same as that

described for the full method, except for some features:

Allowed only application of forces and displacements. Load elements,

such as pressure, temperature, acceleration is not supported.

Forces and non-zero displacement must be attached only to the main

degrees of freedom.

5. Select option loads steps. They are the same as that for the full method,

except for commands OUTRES and ERESX. Team OUTPR controls the

printing resolution of the major nodal degrees of freedom. [OUTPR,

NSOL, ALL (or NONE)].

8. Repeat steps 4 through 7, with additional strength and frequency bands. If

you plan to use a temporary frequency postprocessor POST26, frequency

ranges must not overlap.

9. Close the menu SOLUTION.

3.2 View Results truncated solutions.

Results truncated harmonic analysis are recorded in a truncated file

movements Jobname. RFRQ. It consists of movements on the main degrees of

freedom, which have a harmonic character strength for each frequency for

which the solution was obtained. As a method for complete these movements

will be complex if it was determined damping, or if forces were applied in

more than one phase. You can see the movement on the main degrees of

Page 25: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

25

freedom as a function of frequency, using POST26. (POST1 can not be used

because the complete solution for all degrees of freedom is not received). The

procedure for using POST26 exactly the same as for the full method, except for

certain features.

Before defining variables for use POST26 team FILE to select the

data to be read from the file Jobname.RFRQ. For example, if

HARMONIC - name of the task team would be: FILE,

HARMONIC, RFRQ.

Taking into account only the data of the degrees of freedom of

nodes (corresponding to the main degrees of freedom), thus applies

only team NSOL to define variables.

3.3. Expanding the solution

Expansion of solutions designed to calculate the total displacements, stresses

and forces for all degrees of freedom. These calculations are carried out only for the

frequencies and phase angles that you chose. Before initiating extension, you should

review the truncated section using POST26 and identify critical frequencies and

phase angles.

Expanding the solution is not always required. For example, if you are

interested mainly movements in specific points of the structure, the truncated solution

can meet your needs. If you want to define the movement is not on the main degrees

of freedom, or you are interested in stress, you need to apply an extended solution.

It must be remembered that:

Files should be created RFRQ, TRI, EMAT and ESAV;

The database must contain the same model that produced a truncated

section.

You can view them using POST1. If you've spent expansion solutions at

several frequencies, you can use POST26 to plot stress as a function of frequency.

The procedure for using POST1 or POST26 the same as that described for the

full method, except for one feature: if you want the phase angle [HREXP, angle],

The only one solution is possible for each frequency.

4. The method of superposition of modes

The method of superposition of modes based on the summation of the

coefficients of the eigenmodes obtained in modal analysis to calculate the harmonic

response. The procedure of the method consists of the following steps:

1. Construction of the model;

2. Solution of the problem on their own frequencies and mode shapes (modal

analysis);

3. Preparation method of superposition of harmonic response modes;

4. Expansion of the solution;

5. View the results.

Some remarks on modal analysis

Use the following methods: subspace (subspace), block (Block Lanczos),

truncated (reduced) or Power Dynamic. (Other methods, such as damped

unbalanced and do not apply for the superposition of modes). If the method

of Power Dynamic modal analysis, it is possible to use non-zero loads or

displacements.

Modal analysis must contain as many modes as necessary to obtain a

harmonic reaction.

Page 29: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

29

When using the truncated method include those principal degrees of

freedom, to which were attached harmonic loads;

If you need a harmonically varying loads on the (pressure, temperature,

acceleration), you must select them in the modal analysis. Load ignored in

modal analysis, but a vector of loadings will be calculated and written to

file their own forms (Jobname. MODE). You can use a vector of loadings

in the harmonic solution.

Disclosure eigenmodes is not necessary for the method of superposition. (If

you want to see the mode shapes graphically, it needs their expansion);

These models, such as rotations of nodes should not change between modal

and harmonic analysis.

4.1. Solution of the problem of harmonic analysis method of the

superposition of modes.

In this step, the program uses the mode shapes obtained from modal analysis.

File eigenmodes (Jobname. MOD) should be created and the database must contain

the same model that was conducted modal analysis. If the modal analysis method was

used subspace method or block, and thus the mass matrix used by default, ie, the

diagonal mass matrix, can be obtained by a complete file (Jobname. FULL).

1. Enter into solutions.

/ SOLU or Main Menu> Solution

2. Determine the type of analysis and its options. This is the same as described

for the full method, except for some differences.

Select the method of superposition of modes [HROPT].

Select the mods that you want to use to solve [HROPT]. This determines

the accuracy of the harmonic solutions. Typically, the number of the modes

should be chosen so that their frequency response was 50% greater than the

frequency range of applied forces.

Usually the decision "thickens" design around the natural frequencies

[HROUT] To obtain a more accurate response curve.

Page 30: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

30

Usually at each frequency printed summary table of coefficients

contribution of each mode to the overall response of the system. [HROUT].

3. Attach the load to the model. Harmonic loading is the same, except for the

following features:

Only force, acceleration and load vector created in modal analysis are

correct. Use the command LVSCALE application load vector of modal

analysis.

If you are using modes obtained by truncated modal analysis, force must be

applied to the main degrees of freedom.

4. Select the option of load steps. This is the same as that described for the

truncated method, except that you can choose a modal damping [MDAMP].

Using the [NSUBST] You can choose a number of solutions on each side of

the resonance peak, if you select [HROUT]. The default is calculated 4

solutions, but you can choose another number from 2 to 10.

5. If you used the method of subspace or block method, you can use the nodal

components using the OUTRES, NSOL to limit the data movement in the

reduced displacement file Jobname. RFRQ. Solution of the extension will

give the correct results for those nodes and the elements in which all

element nodes are written to a file with the extension RFRQ.

reduced modes. Results consist of a harmonically varying displacements, stresses and

strains response for each frequency. You can view these results using POST26 or

POST1

5. Harmonic analysis of prestressed structures.

Harmonic analysis of prestressed structures calculates harmonic response

systems such as a violin string. This is only possible method for solving a truncated

or method of superposition of modes. It is assumed that the amplitude of the voltage

harmonic component is much smaller than the magnitude of the prestressing.

Procedure reduced solutions prestressed structures is the same as that for any

reduced test, except for the fact that you must first carry out static analysis.

1. Build the model and get the static calculation, taking into account the effect

of the preload. [PSTRES, ON].

2. Restart «SOLUTION» now reduced harmonic solution with the inclusion of

the effects of pre-load. [PSTRES, ON]. This should be prepared files

Jobname. EMAT and Jobname. ESAV of static analysis.

3. To account for the effect of preloading method of superposition of modes,

you must first perform a modal analysis based on prestressing. The results

of this analysis will be considered in the method of superposition of modes.

6. Transient analysis

6.1. Introduction.

Transient analysis (sometimes called an analysis time) is used to find the

dynamic response of the system under the action of some of the load-dependent time.

You can use this type of analysis to determine the time dependence of the

displacements, strains, stresses and forces in the system as a response to some

combination of static, transient and harmonic forces. Calculation of the time scale

means that the effects of inertia and damping are important. If these effects are not

taken into account, it is sufficient static analysis.

The basic equation of motion is

)(tFuKuCuM ,

Page 32: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

32

where M -Mass matrix, С -Damping matrix, K -Stiffness matrix (u ) Vector

accelerations of nodes u Vector velocity nodes u Vector displacement nodes.

)(tF Load vector.

At some given time t, this equation can be interpreted as a set of "static"

equilibrium equations considering inertia forces and damping forces. ANSYS uses

the Nyumarka procedure for time integration. Increment of time given time steps.

6.2. Preparing for dynamic transient analysis.

You will use the same set of commands for building models and generating

dynamic transient analysis that you use for other types of finite element analysis.

Dynamic transient analysis is more time consuming than static analysis, and requires

large computer resources and very large your "engineering" of resources (eg, time

spent). You can save some of these resources performing some preliminary work for

the understanding of the physical nature of the problem. For example, you can:

1. Initially, the simplest problem to solve. Model consisting of beams, weights

and springs can give a good approximation to the true solution with

minimal time. This simple model can fully satisfy you in solving the

problem of finding the dynamic response of the system.

2. If you turn the system nonlinearity, first try to understand how these effects

influence the system under static load. In some cases, they do not make

sense to include in a dynamic analysis.

3. Try to understand the dynamics of the system. It is useful to carry out a

modal analysis to determine the natural frequencies and vibration modes.

This will help you to understand the response of the system under the action

of loads. In addition, knowledge of the natural frequencies will help you

determine the right size of time steps.

4. For nonlinear problems using technology subsystems (Substructuring) linear

part of the model to reduce solution time.

6.3. Three methods of solution.

There are three methods of solving the problem of dynamic transient

analysis: full, reduced and the method of superposition of modes. Program

Page 33: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

33

ANSYS / LINEAR PLUS allows only the method of superposition of modes.

Before a detailed study of each of these methods consider the advantages and

disadvantages of each.

6.3.1. Full method.

Full method uses full system matrices for finding the dynamic response of the

system. He is the most powerful of the three methods because it takes into account all

types of nonlinearities (plasticity, large displacement, large deformations, etc.). If you

do not want to take into account the non-linearity, you should consider the

appropriateness of the other two methods as a complete method - the most

"expensive" of these three methods.

Advantages of the full method:

It is most simple, as it requires no major degrees of freedom of choice or

mode shapes.

It takes into account all types of nonlinearities.

It uses the full matrix so that the matrix mass of approximation is required.

All displacements and stresses are determined in one step.

It takes into account all types of loads: nodal forces are not zero

displacements (although this is not recommended), load elements (pressure

and temperature).

He makes good use of solid-state load.

The main drawback of the method is that it requires more memory and more time

solving.

6.3.2. Reduced method.

Reduced method condenses the size of the problem by using the main

degrees of freedom and the reduced matrices. After calculating the displacement

along the main degrees of freedom, ANSYS solution extends to the full set of degrees

of freedom. Benefits reduced method:

It works faster and is less "expensive" method.

Disadvantages reduced method:

Page 34: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

34

In the initial decision determined only move along the main degrees of

freedom. The second step, known as the expansion step is required for all

displacements, stresses, forces. Sometimes the expansion step is not

required.

Load elements (pressure, temperature) is not supported but allowed

acceleration.

All loads must be attached to the main degrees of freedom selected by the

user. This limits the use of solid loadings.

Time steps should be permanent, as the automatic determination of the steps

is not supported.

Allowed nonlinearity type contact conditions between nodes or gaps.

6.3.3. Superposition method mod.

In the method of superposition of modes summed coefficients of mode shapes

of modal analysis. This method is the only permissible method for the program

ANSYS / LINEAR PLUS. Its advantages are:

It works faster and is less "expensive" method and compared with the

reduced and full methods.

Load elements enclosed in modal analysis, can be applied by using the

LVSCALE.

This method supports the modal damping (damping ratio as a function of

the mode number).

Disadvantages of the method:

Time step size should be constant, as automatic selection step is not

supported.

Allowed nonlinearity type contact conditions between nodes or gaps.

It can not be used for a "floating" or not fixed system.

When you use the Power Dynamics, the initial conditions can not be pre-

applied loads or displacements.

Method does not support the use of non-zero displacement.

Page 35: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

6.4 Dynamic analysis of transient complete method.

The procedure for solving the problem of dynamic transient analysis full

method consists of three main steps:

1. Construction of the model;

2. Application loads and obtain a decision;

3. View the results.

Construction of the model. In this step you define the name of the task, then the

task header using the preprocessor define element type, real constants, material

properties and geometry of the model.

You can use both linear and nonlinear elements;

Modulus of elasticity or stiffness EX in any form and density (DENS) or

mass in some form must be specified. Material properties can be linear or

non-linear, isotropic, orthotropic, or temperature-dependent.

Some observations on the density of the partition.

Density partition should be fine enough to represent the highest form of the

desired fashion;

Regions model where you are interested in stress and strain must be broken

thinner than the regions where you are only interested in moving;

If you want to include non-linearity, the partition must be such as to

manifest the effect of these nonlinearities. For example, plasticity requires

reasonable density integration points (hence the thin partition) to surfaces

with high gradient of plastic deformation;

If you are interested in the effects of wave propagation, the partition should

be sufficient to represent the wave. Usually it takes about 20 elements per

wavelength along the direction of propagation.

Application of loads and to obtain a decision. In this step, you define the type of

analysis and its options, a load is applied, choose the option of load steps and initiate

the finite element solution.

3. Application of the load model.

Transient analysis to determine the uses of load, time-dependent. Choosing

such loads, you need to divide curves "load-time" at the appropriate time steps. Each

"corner" in the time curve could be one load step, as shown in Fig. 6.1.

The first time step is typically used to set the initial conditions. Then you must

determine the load and load steps option for subsequent time steps. For each time

step, you need to determine the amount of load and the value of time, to determine

the load options, such as the jump or smooth increase of load, the use of automatic

step selection, etc. Then you have to write each time step in the file and solve all the

time steps together.

Accounting for initial conditions.

First time step in the applied load is used to set the initial conditions, ie, at t =

0. Dynamic transient analysis requires two sets of initial conditions (since the

equations of motion are second-order equations): initial move 0u and the initial

velocity 0u . If they are not specified, they are considered to be zero. Initial

acceleration 0u always taken to be zero, but you can choose nonzero initial

acceleration of the relevant application acceleration on a small time interval.

Zero initial displacement and zero initial velocity - This is the default initial

conditions, ie if 000 uu you should not determine anything. You can attach the

load corresponding to the first "corner" curve "load-time" in the first time step.

Nonzero initial displacement and nonzero initial velocity you can enter these

initial conditions by using the IC or via:

Main Menu> Solution>-Loads Apply> Initial Condit `n> Define

Caution: You can not define the initial conditions are incompatible. For

example, you have identified an initial velocity in a single degree of freedom, and the

initial velocity in all other degrees of freedom equal to zero, which leads to conflict

of initial conditions. In most cases, the initial conditions are entered in all loose

degrees of freedom model. If these initial conditions are not the same for all degrees

of freedom, then you need to enter them as shown below. (See description of the

commands TIMIND andIC).

Page 39: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

39

Zero initial displacement and nonzero initial velocity Nonzero velocity

introduced application of small displacements within a small time interval for part of

the structure where the rate is to be determined. For example, if 25.00 u , You can

enter the movement for equal time interval 0.001 0.004, as shown below.

TININT, OFF | Effect integration time off

D, ALL, UY, 0.001 | Introduced small displacement (velocity is along the Y)

TIME, 0.004 | initial velocity = 0.001 / 0.004 = 0.25

LSWRITE | Write to the file load steps (Jobname.S01)

DDELE, ALL, UY | Destruction applied displacements

TININT,ON | The effect of the integration time is included

Nonzero initial displacement and nonzero initial velocity

This is the same case as shown above, except that instead of small

displacements introduced their real values. For example, if 0,10 u , 5,20 u You must

enter the displacement of 1.0 to 0.4 during the time interval.

TININT, OFF | Effect integration time off

D, ALL, UY, 1.0 | Introduced movement (velocity is along the Y)

TIME, 0.4 | initial velocity = 1.0 / 0.4 = 2.5

LSWRITE | Write to the file load steps (Jobname.S01)

DDELE, ALL, UY | Destruction applied displacements

TININT,ON | The effect of the integration time is included

Nonzero initial displacement and zero initial velocity

This requires two steps [NSUBST, 2] In increments of selected movements [KBS, 1].

Without predetermined displacement increment will vary directly with time, leading

to a non-zero initial velocity. The example below shows how to enter 0,10 u and

00 u .

3.1 Dynamic options include:

The effect of time integration [TIMINT]

The effect of time integration can be included to account for the effect of inertia and

damping (if we get off static solution). By default, the time integration effect is

enabled. This option is useful to start the transition from the initial static solution.

The first step is done with option turned off effect of time integration.

Transition parameters of integration [TINTP]

Transient integration parameters control the operation of the program integration by

Newmark. The default method of average acceleration. See section on the basics of

the theory.

Damping

Damping is present in some form in most systems and must be considered in solving

the problem. You can choose four forms of damping in the full dynamic analysis:

Alpha (damping is proportional to the mass) [ALPHAD];

Beta (damping proportional to stiffness) [BETAD];

Damping-dependent material properties [MP, DAMP];

Damping elements (for example, an element COMBIN7).

6.5 Main options.

Key features include the following:

Time [TIME]

This option specifies the time at the end of the load step.

Hopping or smoothly varying load [KBS].

This option indicates whether the load varies smoothly for step [KBC] Or abruptly

[KBC, 1]. The default is a smooth change in load for static analysis and stepwise for

the full dynamic analysis when SOLCONTROL option enabled.

Step time integration [DELTIM or NSUBST].

Integration step is the time increment of time by integrating the equations of motion.

You can directly [DELTIM], Or determined by the number of substeps [NSUBST].

Time step size determines the accuracy of the solution: the smaller the step size, the

Page 44: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

44

higher the accuracy. Recommendations on the choice of the time step size are given

later.

Automatic selection step [AUTOTS].

This option, known as the optimization of the time step in transient analysis,

increases or decreases the step size depending on the response of the system. For

most purposes, we recommend that you enable automatic selection of the upper and

lower limits of the step sizes. These limits are selected using commands DELTIM or

NSUBST. By default, this option is enabled, when the option SOLCONTROL.

6.6 Accounting options nonlinearities.

Accounting options nonlinearities are used only if the system includes nonlinearity

(plasticity, contact elements, creep, etc.). These include:

The maximum number of iterations [NEQIT];

Accuracy convergence [CNVTOL];

Option correction prediction [PRED];

Option research line [LNSRCH];

Criterion creep [CRPLIM];

Option closure solutions [NCNV].

More information on the use of these options, see "Guidelines for nonlinear

problems."

6.7. Options control the output.

Control options include the following output:

Output to a printer [OUTPR]

Using this option allows you to enable some of the results in the output file

(Jobname. OUT).

The database and output files, [OUTRES]

This option allows you to control the data in the resulting file (Jobname. RST)

Extrapolation of the results [ERESX].

Using this option allows you to view the results of the integration points of the

element by copying them to the nodes instead of extrapolation. (Default).

Attention: By default, only the last time step is written to the output file with the full

method of dynamic analysis. To record all the steps set FREQ field team OUTRES

increase memory resources, use the command /CONFIG, NRES.

Sometimes the proper use of commands OUTRES or OUTPR may lead to some

difficulties.

6.9 Reduced dynamic transient analysis

Reduced method, as its name implies, uses a reduced matrix to calculate the

dynamic response. It is possible to program ANSYS / Multiphysics, ANSYS /

Mechanical, ANSYS / Structural. You should consider the application of this method,

if you do not include the non-linearity (no more than a contact node to node) in the

problem.

Reduced dynamic analysis procedure consists of five basic steps:

1. Construction of the model;

2. Getting reduced solutions;

3. View the results of the reduced solution;

Page 52: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

52

4. Expanding the solution;

5. View Results expanded solutions.

The first step is the same as for the full method, except that it does not take into

account the nonlinearity (can be considered the only contact between the two nodes,

defined in terms of the form of the gap, instead of introducing the corresponding

element). Follow the steps detailed below.

Reduced solution is obtained in relation to major degrees of freedom. The

procedure for obtaining the following solutions:

1. Enter into the solutions with the command / SOLU or via interface:

Main Menu> Solution.

2. Determine the type of analysis and its options. This is the same as for the

full method, except for the following differences:

Select the method for solving the reduced [TRNOPT];

Nonlinearities accounting options are not possible [NLGEOM, SSTIF,

NROPT];

You can include the effects of prestressing [PSTRES]. This file requires elements

from the previous static or transient analysis;

Restart not possible [ANTYPE].

3. Identify key degrees of freedom. It should mainly characterize the dynamic

behavior of the system. Reduced for transient analysis, the main degrees of

freedom necessary to choose where you want to define the conditions of the

gap, to contribute or not zero displacements. You can print selected major

degrees of freedom, or to destroy them.

Terms gap

Terms gap can only be defined between the two main nodes or between the

main nodes and support as shown in the figure.

Terms gap similar to the element type is selected and the gap between the

surfaces between which is supposed to contact (impact) during the transition

process. ANSYS considers efforts in the gap, which develop when the gap is

closed using the equivalent nodal load vector. Some recommendations for

determining the conditions of the gap are given below.

Use sufficient conditions for obtaining a uniform distribution of contact

stress between the contacting surfaces.

Page 54: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

54

Determine reasonable contact stiffness. If the stiffness is too small contact

surfaces overlap too much. If the hardness is too high, a very small time

step is required for the time of impact. The main recommendations selection

stringency gap is one or two orders of magnitude higher than the rigidity of

the adjacent elements. Can determine the rigidity of adjacent elements using

the ratio AE / L, where A-effective contact area, E-modulus softest material

in the gap, L - depth of the first layer of elements in the gap.

5. Enter the initial conditions for the model. Following values are possible in

the reduced transient analysis:

Only possible movement, strength, and translational acceleration (such as

gravity). Load acceleration is not supported if the model contains some key

coordinates of the nodes with the rotation of the nodal coordinate systems.

Forces and non-zero displacement must be attached only to the main degrees of

freedom.

As mentioned for the full method, numerous steps load usually require the definition

of "load history" in transition analysis. The first step is used to establish initial

conditions. The second and subsequent load steps are used to enter values.

Set the initial conditions. Basic conditions may be set explicitly only for

displacements ( 0u ), The initial velocity and acceleration must be zero.

)0,0( 00 uu . Movement can not be eliminated in the subsequent steps load,

nevertheless, they can not be used for determining the initial velocity. In the

reduced transient analysis of static solution is always considered as a

preliminary ruling used to determine 0u .

Identify options load steps for the first step. The following options for the

first step (see Table. 6.5).

Damping is present in some form in most systems and must be considered in solving

the problem. You can choose four forms of damping in the reduced dynamic analysis:

Alpha (damping is proportional to the mass) [ALPHAD];

Beta (damping proportional to stiffness) [BETAD];

Damping-dependent material properties [MP, DAMP];

Damping element (e.g., element COMBIN7).

Main options

function of time. You can see the movement on the main degrees of freedom as a

function of time using the POST 26.

The procedure for using POST 26 is the same as described for the full method,

except for the following differences:

Before defining the variables in POST 26, use the command FILE

possible to view.

6.9.2 Expanding the solution.

Advanced solution starts after the reduced solution and expects to complete

displacement, voltage and power in all degrees of freedom. This solution will be

obtained for only one point in time that you choose. Before starting the extended

solutions you need to see the results of the reduced solutions using POST26 and

select a critical point in time.

Note. Preparation of extended solutions is not always required. For example, if

you mainly interested in moving to some points of your design, the reduced solution

can satisfy you. Of course, if you want to determine not move in the main degrees of

freedom, or you are interested in voltage and power, you should get an extended

solution.

Files with the extensions. RDSP,. EMAT,. ESAV,. DB and. TRI should be

obtained in the reduced solution.

6.10 Example transient analysis.

This example shows a transient analysis using the reduced method at a constant

force to the finite time of its rise. In this problem, a steel beam with a concentrated

mass is exposed to dynamic loading.

Steel beam length l supports a concentrated mass m. Acts on the beam dynamic

load F (t) c time ascending rt and a maximum value 1F . If the weight of the beam is

not taken into account to determine the time at which you want the maximum

displacement maxt and the maximum displacement value maxy . Still need to determine

the maximum stress in the beam.

The beam is used in this decision, and its area is taken as a unit. Full-time 0.1

allows weight to achieve maximum displacement. Home degree of freedom takes on

mass in the transverse direction. Static solution is obtained on the first load step. The

time of maximum response (0,092 s) was chosen to expand solutions.

6.11 The method of superposition of modes in transient analysis.

The method of superposition of modes based on the summation of the

coefficients of the modes obtained from modal analysis to calculate the dynamic

response. The procedure of the method consists of five basic steps:

1. Construction of the model;

2. Getting modal solutions (finding natural frequencies and forms);

3. Solution of transient analysis method of superposition of modes;

4. Expanding the solution;

5. View the results.

The first of these steps, exactly the same as for the full method.

6.11.1 Preparation of modal solutions.

You should keep in mind the following features:

Page 66: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

66

Methods of solving the problem may be the following: reduced, block, subspace,

or Power Dynamic (the other two methods and damped unbalanced do not apply

to the method of superposition of modes). You can use the Power Dynamic, only

if there is no initial static load (all loads are zero in the first step);

Disclose all the modes required for transient analysis;

Method for reduced disclosure events, including the main degrees of freedom of

the nodes in which the forces and conditions specified gap.

Enter fixing. These consolidation will be ignored if they are specified in the

transition analysis by superposition of modes instead of modal analysis.

If you must enter the load elements (pressure, temperature, acceleration, etc.) in a

transient dynamic analysis, you must determine their modal analysis. Load

ignored in modal analysis, but the load vector will be calculated and recorded in

the form file mode (Jobname. MODE). You can then use this load vector for the

transient analysis.

These models should not change between modal and transient analysis.

There is no need to disclose the method of superposition of fashion events. If you

want to view from the reduced form of fashion solutions, you have to open them.

6.11.2. The solution by superposition of modes.

In this step, the program uses the mode shapes obtained in the modal analysis. It must

be remembered that:

File mode shapes to be produced (Jobname. MODE).

The database must contain the same model for which the solution obtained modal

analysis.

1. Enter the command / SOLU or via interface: Main Menu> Solutions.

2. Determine the type of analysis and its options. This is the same as that described

for the full method, excluding the following features:

Select the method of superposition of modes [TRNOPT].

Determine the number of modes to be used in decision [TRNOPT]. This

determines the accuracy of the transient solutions. At a minimum, you must use all

the modes which, in your opinion, affect the dynamic response of the system. For

Page 67: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

67

example, if you turn to the consideration of the high frequencies, the number of

modes must be taken into account include high fashion. By default, all modes

obtained in the modal analysis.

Nonlinear options [NLGEOM, SSTIF, NROPT] Are not considered.

Restart not possible [ANTYPE].

3. Define the conditions of the gap if necessary. They can only be defined between

the two major nodes or between the master node and the "ground."

Team GP . Interface: Main Menu> Solutions> Dynamic Gap Cond> Define

4. Attach the load to the model. The following load method of superposition of

modes:

Only possible forces and translational acceleration vector loads generated in the

modal analysis. Not zero displacements are ignored. For an application, use the

command load vector LVSCALE (Main Menu> Solutions> Loads - Apply>

Load Vector> For Mode Super).

If the mode shapes obtained from the reduced modal analysis, force may be

applied only to the main degrees of freedom.

Multiple load steps usually require the definition of "loading history" in

transition analysis. The first step load is used to determine the initial conditions, and

the second and subsequent steps are used for the analysis of transients.

Set the initial conditions. The initial conditions, which can be accurately set this

initial move. Static solution using the method of superposition of modes is

always considered as the first solution at a given load. If modal analysis program

was used POWER DYNAMICS, any load or displacement is not taken into

account, ie, in this case only accepted zero initial conditions.

Load vector [LVSCALE]

This option allows you to apply the load vector, built in modal analysis. You can use

this application for the load vector on the load elements (pressure, temperature, etc.)

Damping.

Damping is present in some form in most systems and must be considered in solving

the problem. You can choose four forms of damping in the reduced dynamic analysis:

Alpha (damping is proportional to the mass) [ALPHAD];

Beta (damping proportional to stiffness) [BETAD];

Constant damping ratio [DMPRAT];

Damping-dependent material properties [MP, DAMP];

Modal damping [MDAMP];

Main options

Integration step [DELTIM]

Integration step is assumed constant. By default, the integration step is taken

equal to 1 / (20f), where f is the lowest frequency considered in the decision. Team

[DELTIM] Is seen only on the first load step, and is ignored in subsequent steps.

Options control the output.

7. If the method is a subspace or block method for modal analysis (MODOPT,

6.12 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures

Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures allows to calculate the dynamic

response of systems, for example, take into account the thermal expansion of the

residual thermal stresses. Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures depends on the

type of transition.

6.12.1 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures complete method.

You can include the effects of prestressing full dynamic analysis using the

application preloads static load step without removing them in the next steps. The

procedure consists of two main steps:

1. Build your model, enter the SOLUTION, and define the type of analysis

(Transient analysis) [ANTYPE, TRANS].

Attach all preloads;

Turn off the effects of time integration [TIMINT, OFF];

Turn on the strengthening effects [SSTIF, ON];

Set a time equal to the value of some small dummy [TIME];

Write down the first load step file Jobname. S01.

Page 71: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

71

If preloading effects develop as a result of the nonlinear behavior of structures

(as in the case of residual thermal stresses in the casting), it may take several steps to

determine the load prior static. In the case of geometric nonlinearity (large

displacement effect) you can take into account the effect of prestressing team

[NLGEOM, ON].

2. For all subsequent load steps include effects of integration [TIMINT, ON]

and spend a full dynamic analysis, as described above. Writing down all the

steps to load the file [LSWRITE] you can initiate a solution with multiple

load steps.

6.12.2 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures reduced method.

Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures reduced method requires that you

first loaded up your model in a separate static analysis. It is assumed that the voltage-

dependent time (transient) will be substantially less than the voltage on the preload. If

it is not, then you need to use the full dynamic analysis.

1. Build the model and get the static solution to the effects of

prestressing [PSTRES, ON].

2. Reenter SOLUTION now the solution of the reduced transient

analysis when the accounting effect of prestressing [PSTRES, ON].

The files Jobname. DB, Jobname. EMAT and Jobname. ESAV must

be obtained.

6.12.3 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures using superposition modes.

When taking into account the effect of pre-stress in the method of

superposition of modes, you must first carry out a modal analysis from the

prestressing. If the modal analysis results given prestressing retrieved, transient

analysis is performed as described above.

7. Other features transient analysis.

7.1. Some guidance on the choice of the integration step.

Page 72: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

72

As described above, the accuracy of solution transients depends integration

step: a step smaller, the more accurate solutions. Too big step integration will make a

mistake in the reaction of the higher modes. Too small step integration bude lead to

too much computation time, and need a great memory. To calculate the optimal time

step, we present five recommendations:

1. Determine the frequency response. The time step should be substantially

less than the resulting motion of the system. Since the dynamic response of

the system can be represented by a combination of modes, the time step

should allow to analyze the highest fashion of this combination. For the

integration procedure for Nyumarku found that an acceptable time step

should be a fraction of the twentieth period of higher frequency.

The step size = 1/20fMAX.

Requires a smaller time step, if the result of the calculations necessary to

determine the acceleration.

The figure shows the dependence of the oscillation period increase depending

on the time step for the one-mass system. The graph shows that when the step size

1/20 of an increase in the period of the oscillation period is less than 1%.

2. Determine the curve of load versus time. The time step must be small

enough to pass a function of load. The trend seen in the reaction with

respect to some lag applied forces, especially after a sudden change in load,

as shown in the figure. Sudden change of load requires small time steps. In

this case it is recommended to take the time step is smaller than 1/180f.

Page 73: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

73

Ris7.1

3. Determine the frequency of contact. In problems with contact elements

(impact) the time step should be considerably shorter than the interaction

between the two contacting surfaces. In other words, will attend apparent

losses of energy shot is perfectly elastic. Step integration may be

determined from the frequency of contact.

Integration step = 1/Nfc,

Where mkf c 21

Here k gap stiffness, m the effective mass in the gap, N-number of points per

cycle. To minimize energy losses usually take N = 30. Make sure to take a

greater value if you want to find the acceleration. For the reduced method and

the method of superposition of modes N must be at least not less than 7.

You can use more than 30 steps per cycle during impact when the contact

between the contact and the mass much less than the total time and the transient

weight so that the effect of energy loss in the entire system can be small.

4. Determine the wave propagation. If you are interested in the effects of wave

propagation, the time step should be less time meme propagation through

the element.

5. Determine nonlinearity. For most nonlinear problems, the required time

step depends strongly on the type of nonlinearity. For example, the system

tends to increase the rigidity under load (e.g., a large problem when the

displacement of the flexural model to the membrane). This should be an

assessment of the highest frequency of the system.

After evaluating the time step using these recommendations, use the minimum

value for the calculation. Using the automatic time step will allow you to

entrust the problem of choosing the step program.

7.2 Automatic time step.

Automatic selection of the time step allows you to change the integration step,

based on the frequency response and nonlinear effects. The main benefit of this

program is that the total number of integration steps can be reduced. If present in the

Page 74: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

74

problem of non-linearity, the use of automatic step has additional advantages. You

can activate the automatic selection of the step team AUTOTS.

Although the obvious advantage of the automatic step selection for all types of

analysis, there may be situations in which you may not be benefits from the use of

automated steps.

Tasks having only a localized dynamic behavior (such as turbine blades and hub

assembly), where part of the system containing the low-frequency energy, the

high frequency area may prevail.

Problems with permanent-magnet (for example, seismic load), wherein the time

step has a tendency to change continuously, as excited by different frequencies.

Problems with kinematic excitation (as solid), where the contribution of the

oscillations as a rigid body can dominate.

7.3 Damping.

Damping present in most systems must be within the dynamic analysis. In

ANSYS are used five types of damping:

Alpha and beta damping (Rayleigh damping);

Damping, depending on the material properties;

Constant damping ratio;

Modal damping;

Damping elements.

When using ANSYS / Linear Plus is possible to use only a constant

damping ratio and modal damping. You can select more than one form of damping in

the model. The program will generate damping matrix [C], as the sum of the selected

forms of damping.

Table 7.1 lists the types of damping applicable to various kinds of

analysis.

and must satisfy the relation:

22 iii

In many practical cases, alpha damping (or mass damping) can be ignored (=

0). In these cases, you can identify of known values i and i as

ii 2 .

To determine the coefficients and at a given damping it is usually

assumed that the amount and members of approximately constant in the

frequency range. (Fig. 7.2). Thus, for a given and the frequency range of 1 to 2 -

Coefficients and can be determined from the system of two equations.

Alpha damping may lead to erroneous results if a large mass was artificially

introduced into the model. One common example is when a large mass of artificially

introduced into the base model to be able to input range acceleration. (You can use a

large range of mass to convert accelerations range forces). Damping coefficient

alpha, which is multiplied by the mass matrix will produce artificially inflated

damping force in such systems, which leads to errors in the input spectrum and

determining the reaction system.

Beta damping and damping material may lead to distorted results in the

nonlinear analysis. These damping coefficients are multiplied by the stiffness matrix,

which is constantly changing in nonlinear problems. The resulting change in damping

can sometimes be the opposite to the actual change in damping, which may distort the

physical nature of the problem. For example, it is known from experience that in

physical systems, which are softened during the plastic deformation, respectively,

typically in the development of improved damping plastic flow. The model ANSYS,

having beta damping will decrease damping the development of plastic deformation.

Damping-dependent material properties allows you to define as beta damping

properties of the material [MP, DAMP]. It should be noted that the spectral analysis

is introduced into a damping ratio depending on the material properties Instead .

Another note that for items in which there are several materials, such as SOLID46,

SOLID65, SHELL91, SHELL99, can be determined for the entire element rather

than for each element in the material. In this case, determined from the material

properties of elements using the MAT.

Constant damping ratio - The easiest way to determine the damping system. It

represents the ratio of actual damping to the critical value and is entered as a decimal

fraction team DMPRAT. This is only possible in the spectral analysis, harmonic

analysis and the method of superposition of modes in transient analysis.

Modal damping gives you an opportunity to enter a different attitude damping

for different modes of vibration. This is only possible for the spectral analysis method

COMBIN7, COMBIN14, COMBIN37, COMBIN40 etc.

8. Spectral analysis.

Spectral analysis - a solution to the problem using the results of modal analysis

to calculate the displacements and stresses in the model. It is mainly used instead of

timing analysis to determine the response at random loads or loads, time-dependent,

such as an earthquake or wind loads, the load from the sea waves, the impact of a jet

engine, etc.

Spectrum is a graph of the spectral magnitude as a function of frequency,

which determines the intensity and spectral composition of the dynamic loads. There

are three types of spectral analysis:

Page 78: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

78

Response spectrum;

-The only response spectrum (SPRS)

Multiple-response spectrum (MPRS)

The method of dynamic design (DDAM)

Method of power spectral density (PSD).

8.1 Types of spectral analysis.

8.1.1 Response Spectrum.

Range of reaction is the reaction systems with one degree of freedom to the

load, depending on the time. This reaction graph as a function of frequency, where

the reaction may be adopted displacement, velocity, acceleration or force. Two types

of spectral analysis of the reaction: the only response spectrum and multiple-type

reactions.

When analyzing single response spectrum you choose one spectral curve (or

family of curves) in several points of the model, for example in the support.

When analyzing Multiple response spectrum you choose different spectral

curves at various points.

8.1.2 Method of dynamic design.

The method of dynamic design - a technique used to evaluate the impact

resistance of marine equipment. Technology is essentially a spectral analysis of the

reaction, where the spectrum is obtained from a series of empirical equations and

shock design tables, obtained from the American National Research Laboratory.

Report NRL-1396.

8.1.3 Spectral density method.

Power spectral density - this statistic, for which the limit is defined as the rms

value of the random variable. It is used in random vibration analysis, in which the

instantaneous value of the reaction can only be determined by probability distribution

functions, showing the probability of finding a random variable in a certain range.

Graph of the spectral density function can be built in to the frequency of

displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. Mathematically, the area under the

curve equal to the variance (or mean square).

8.2 The procedure for solving the problem of spectral analysis.

1. Construction of the model

2. Getting modal solutions

3. Preparation spectral solutions

4. Expansion modes

5. Combination of modes

6. View the results.

Modal solution must be obtained before the calculation of the spectrum,

mode shapes and frequencies are used in the spectral analysis. Producing

spectral solution before deployment modes, you can open only those modes

that are required for a final decision.

Construction of the model.

In this step, you define the name of the task, the task header, then using a

preprocessor define the element type, real constants, material properties and

geometry of the model.

Cover only the linear behavior in the spectral analysis. Nonlinear

elements (if they exist) are represented as linear. For example, if you turn the

contact elements and their rigidity are calculated initially, and is not changed.

Modulus of elasticity (or stiffness in some form) and the density (or

weight) must be carefully set. Material properties can be linear, isotropic or

orthotropic, or permanent depending on the temperature, but the nonlinear

properties are ignored.

Getting modal solutions.

Natural frequencies and mode shapes are required for obtaining a

spectral analysis.

Use the subspace block or reduced. Other methods are not suitable

for spectral analysis.

The number of received events should be sufficient to characterize

the response of the system in the required frequency range.

Page 80: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

If you are using an interface method, choose NO to the dialog menu

disclosure modes [MODOPT], So that the modes do not unfold in

time but may be disclosed separately in the respective step solutions.

In this case you should choose YES for the disclosure of all modes.

If you are using damping depending on the properties of materials,

you must select it in the modal analysis.

Need to consolidate the power of freedom, where you want to attach

the base of the input spectrum.

Preparation spectral solutions.

File mode shapes (Jobname.MODE) of modal analysis should be obtained, and the

database should contain data of this model.

Type of spectrum can be displacement, velocity, acceleration, force or spectral

density. All spectra except forces represent a seismic spectra and act on the supports.

Range of forces applied to the support units not using the commands F or FK and

direction labels FX, FY, FZ. Spectral Density [SVTYP, 4] is converted into the

internal displacement and the spectrum bandwidth is limited.

Direction of the impact.

Spectral curve [FREQ, SV].

Teams FREQ, SV used for determining the spectral curve. You can define a family

of spectral curves, each curve for various damping ratio. Use the STAT command to

print the current values of the curves. Another team ROCK allows you to determine

the spectrum span.

Damping (dynamic option).

If you have selected more than one form of damping, ANSYS will calculate

the effective damping ratio at each frequency. Spectral value of the effective

damping ratio is then calculated by interpolation on the spectral curve. If damping is

not specified, will be used spectral curve with the highest damping.

Output solutions includes a table of operating factors. Table contains the

coefficients of the effective factors modes (with respect to the lowest accepted by

damping) and the mass distribution for each mode. To get the maximum response of

each mode (modal response) must be multiplied by the modal form fashion factor.

You can do this by reduction coefficients mod team GET and using them as a scale

factor in the team SET.

8.8 How to parse multiple response spectrum.

The procedure to determine multiple response spectrum is the same as that for

random vibration with the following differences:

Select MPRS instead of as a type of PSD spectrum in the team [SPOPT];

Table spectral density versus frequency spectrum is represented as a table

of values as a function of frequency;

You can choose some degree of correlation between the spectra, or consider

them to be uncorrelated;

Determined only by the relative performance (relative to the base

excitation), the absolute values are not defined.

Supports all methods of combining modes except PSDCOM.

MCOM in the form of instructions postprocessor POST1. Provides

commands calculate the limiting reactions of the combination of maximum

modal responses. Limit reactions consist of limiting displacement limit

stresses, deformations and limit the forces of reaction.

Part 2. Fundamentals of the theory.

9. Modal Analysis

Modal analysis is used to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes

design. It is assumed that the free undamped oscillations occur:

}{0[K]{u}}'[M]{u' (9.1)

Note that the stiffness matrix [K] May include the effect of pre-loading.

For a linear system free vibrations are harmonic:

tcosω}{{u} ii (9.2)

where i}{ eigenvector iTh waveform;

iω iTh en circular frequency (radians per unit time);

t time.

Thus, the matrix equation (9.1) takes the following form:

{0}}[K]){[M]ω( 2 ii (9.3)

Page 99: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

99

This equation has a solution, apart from the trivial }0{}{ i only if the determinant

of the system [K])[M]ω( 2 i is zero, i.e.:

0[K][M]ω2 i (9.4)

The last equation is the task of the eigenvalues. Solution of equation (4), if n - order

of the matrix is the characteristic polynomial nSecond order, which has n roots:

21ω , 2

2ω ... 2nω Wherein n number of degrees of freedom. These roots are the

eigenvalues of the equation. Eigenvectors i}{ Is obtained by substituting zeros

received 2ωi in equation (3). Eigenvalue 2ωi determine the natural frequency of the

system 2ωi And eigenvector i}{ corresponding waveform (moving system).

Values of natural circular frequency )ω( and natural frequencies (f) are related

as follows:

ωf i

i (9.5)

where if iTh natural frequency (cycles per unit time).

Usually eigenvector i}{ called normalized if the following equation

(reflecting the orthogonality property forms of natural vibrations)

1}]{[}{ ii M (9.6)

that is

}I{}]{[}{ M

Page 100: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

100

In another case, the eigenvector i}{ normalized such that the largest of its

components is equal to one. Orthogonality condition waveforms can be explained as

the vanishing of the inertial forces iSecond waveform on the displacements kThe

second waveform.

When using the condensation frequency (reduction degree of freedom) n

eigenvectors can then be deployed on the stage of "extension" to the full set of

degrees of freedom modal design:

ii }ˆ]{[][}{ sm1

sss KK (9.7)

where i}{ s - Vector excluded (subsidiary) degrees of freedom i-Th mode (auxiliary

degrees of freedom are those degrees of freedom which will condense

to reduce the dimensionality of the system);

][],[ smss KK - Submatrix stiffness auxiliary degrees of freedom and

communications subsidiary of degrees of freedom of the

retained respectively;

i}ˆ{ - Held vector (basic) degrees of freedom i-Th mode.

10. Superposition method MOU

Superposition method uses data about the modes of natural frequencies and

mode shapes obtained through modal analysis, to assess the dynamic response of

structures from non-stationary or stationary harmonic disturbances.

The equations of motion can be expressed in the following form:

}F{}u]{K[}'u]{C[}''u]{M[ (10.1)

where [M] - mass matrix of the system;

[C] - damping matrix of the system;

[K] - stiffness matrix of the system;

Page 101: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

101

{U''} - vector of nodal accelerations;

{U '} - vector of nodal velocities;

{U} - vector of nodal displacements;

{F} - vector of the applied forces, variables over time, which can be painted

as:

{F} = {Fnd} + s {Fs} (10.2)

where {Fnd} - vector of time-varying nodal forces;

s - the scale factor load vector;

{Fs} - vector of loadings obtained by modal analysis (see below).

Load vector {Fs} is calculated in the analysis waveforms. It is formed in the

same way as the load vector substructure.

Next development like this in the book of Bath [2].

We define a set of modal coordinates yi such that

n

where }{ i - Waveform i-Th mode;

n - number of used modes (entered via commands TRNOPT or HROPT).

Note that equation (10.3) preclude the use of a non-zero input displacement after yi

not determine directly, but through {u}. The inverse relationship exists (Eq. (3.10))

for the case where all the offsets are known, but not when only a few are known.

Substituting equation (10.3) to (10.1), we obtain:

analyzed can in principal inexpensive coordinates using equation (10.21). In

harmonic analysis, the frequency can be scanned faster than the method of reduced

harmonic response. Yi values converted back to geometric displacement {u}

(response of the system to the load), using equation (10.3). That is, the individual

modal responses yi are superimposed on each other to get the actual response, hence

the name "the superposition of modes." If the modal analysis was performed using

the method of condensation (MODOPT, REDUC), The matrices and load vectors in

the above equations will contain the main (held) degrees of freedom (ie, {u}).

11. SPECTRAL ANALYSIS

Two types of spectral analysis: deterministic method and the spectral response

of a non-deterministic method of random fluctuations. Allowed excitation in the

supports (e.g., seismic action) and agitation at points remote from the supports. There

are four types of spectral analysis:

Page 106: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

106

Univariate spectral analysis;

multivariate spectral analysis;

computational and experimental method of dynamic analysis;

method of power spectral density.

Univariate spectral analysis involves the use of one and the same spectral

curve (for example, changes in the force depending on time) for all the excited pixels.

Multivariate spectral analysis assumes the task in different points of excitation

spectral curves.

Computational and experimental method dynamic analysis is used to assess the

strength of the ship's equipment. The method consists in obtaining the system

response spectrum which is obtained based on empirical equations and tables based

on impact, presented in the report NRL-1369 Laboratory research Navy USA.

Method of power spectral density is a probabilistic approach to finding the

spectral response and is known as random vibration analysis.

11.1 Assumptions and Limitations

1. The design is linear.

2. For univariate spectral analysis and calculation and the experimental method of

dynamic analysis of the perturbation is given to the design spectrum with known

direction and frequency components influencing uniformly on all pivot points or

held by the specified (main) does not support the degree of freedom (when using

the frequency of condensation).

3. For multivariate spectral and power spectral density analyzes, the design may

resent different input spectra with their application to different reference points

Page 107: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

107

and the reference (free from bonds) nodes. You can define up to ten different input

spectra.

11.2 Description of the analysis

Spectral analysis is possible when choosing the type of analysis (ANTYPE,

SPECTR) and if the pre-modal analysis was performed. If necessary association

modes, the desired mode can be obtained by "extending" (recover), as described in

section 17.3 (when using frequency-condensation method).

Supports four options - univariate spectral analysis (SPOPT, SPRS),

computational and experimental method for dynamic analysis (SPOPT, DDAM), the

method of power spectral density (SPOPT, PSD) and multivariate spectral analysis

(SPOPT, MPRS). Each option is described in detail hereinafter.

11.3 Univariate spectral analysis (SPOPT, SPRS)

seismic) and in areas remote from the supports (power outrage). All the required data,

12. ANALYSIS OF RANDOM VIBRATIONS

The method allows applying multiple perturbations in the form of power

spectral density (PSD) to the inputs of the system (up to ten), which can be:

1. Fully correlated,

2. Uncorrelated, or

3. Partially correlated.

The procedure is based on statistical calculations of each modal response, and

then combining them (summation or combination). It is assumed that the excitation -

stationary random processes.

12.1 Description of the method

movement);

{F} - set the force perturbation (force value can be different from unity, taking

into account the scale of the coefficients of the deposit);

{0} - reaction force vector corresponding to the vector specified displacements

{ur}.

Unknown displacement can be subdivided into pseudo-static and dynamic

parts:

(12.2)

Pseudo-static displacement can be obtained from equation (12.1) except for the

first two terms in the left side of the equation and replacing the vector of unknown

displacements {uf} a vector of pseudo-static components of {us}

equation (12.3) and (12.2) into (12.1) and add a slight damping. The first row of the

matrix equation (12.1) can then be rewritten as follows:

(12.4)

The second term on the right side of the above equation is equivalent to the

forces due to kinematic perturbations.

Page 115: Solving problems in the dynamics with ANSYS.pdf

When using the method of superposition of modes of equation (10.3) can be written

again as:

Transfer functions for the type of system with one degree of freedom takes

different forms depending on the type of input PSD and the desired type of

response. Forms of transfer functions to move as output listed below for different

occasions.

General formulation described above provides simplified equations for some

situations that usually encountered in practice. To fully correlated power disturbances

and given identical displacements Subscripts l and m would exclude from the

equation (12.10) to (12.12). When there is only power disturbances last two terms in

equation (12.16) does not apply, and only the first term within the large parentheses

in equation (12.10) must be taken into account. For uncorrelated power and kinematic

perturbations, mutual PSDs (i.e. when l m) Are zero, and only the terms for which l

= m in equations (12.10) through (12.12) must be taken into account.

Equations (12.10) to (12.12) can be rewritten as:

For the special case in which all the cross terms are zero, the input spectra are

believed to uncorrelated. Note that the correlation between power and kinematic

perturbations are not allowed.

12.4 Correlation space

The degree of correlation between the excited nodes can be specified.

Depending on the distance between the excited nodes and values RMIN and RMAX,

the impact of the power spectral density can be set so that the excitation of the nodes

can be uncorrelated, partially correlated or fully correlated. If the distance between

the nodes of the excited - less than RMIN, these two nodes are correlated completely;

if the distance is greater than RMAX, then these two uncorrelated Node; if the

distance is between RMIN and RMAX, partially correlated excitation and based on

the actual distance between nodes. The figure below specifies how RMIN, RMAX

and correlation.

12.6 Method of multivariate spectral analysis (SPOPT, PSD)

Analysis of the spectral response supports multifactor kinematic and power

disturbance, allowing up to 10 different spectral tables that may be unrelated

(uncorrelated) among themselves.

Many components to perform multivariate analysis of the spectral response of

the system is discussed in the previous sections devoted to the method of random

vibration. Assuming that the contribution of the coefficients j can be calculated
