ABSTRACT Due to the widespread usage of specialized piezoelectric actuators in various applications, accurate simulations have become key components of modern design processes. Although simulation tools for piezoelectric devices are widely available, nonlinear effects, which occur when exciting near resonance at elevated amplitudes, are often neglected

An Extended Newmark-FDTD Method for Complex Dispersive Media [PDF]
Based on polarizability in the form of a complex quadratic rational function, a novel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach combined with the Newmark algorithm is presented for dealing with a complex dispersive medium. In this paper, the time-stepping equation of the polarization vector is derived by applying simultaneously the Newmark ...

Reconfigurable Computing in Neural Network‐Enhanced Finite Element Analysis in Structural Dynamics
ABSTRACT In the present study, artificial neural networks (ANNs) trigger a better physically plausible initial guess in the Newton–Raphson scheme of an implicit material integration scheme of rate‐dependent viscoplastic dynamic response of plate structures in an in‐house finite element (FE) solver.

ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

A Novel Non‐Torque Dynamic Load Decoupling Method for Large Wind Turbine Nacelle Test Bench
ABSTRACT Accurate reproduction of non‐torque dynamic loads is a key challenge for full‐scale wind turbine nacelle test benches, where the nacelle‐level drivetrain is validated under controlled multi‐degree‐of‐freedom mechanical loading. This study focuses on the shaft‐conjugate load application unit (LAU) adopted in the 25‐MW‐class full‐scale wind ...

Hybrid Coupling With Operator Inference and the Overlapping Schwarz Alternating Method
ABSTRACT This paper presents a hybrid approach for coupling subdomain‐local, nonintrusive Operator Inference (OpInf) reduced order models (ROMs) with each other and with subdomain‐local, high‐fidelity full order models (FOMs) using the overlapping Schwarz alternating method (O‐SAM).

A Sequential Quadratic Numerical Optimization Technique to Compute Critical Flutter Speeds
ABSTRACT A stable sequential quadratic numerical optimization technique is proposed to compute critical flutter speeds without resorting to complex algebra. The solution of the traditional eigenproblem stated in the frequency domain, and whose complex conjugate eigenvalues provide insights on the stability of the dynamic aeroelastic response, is ...

Numerical modelling of earthquake‐induced progressive rock slope damage in the paraglacial Serpentine valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska. Repeated seismicity generates rock mass damage that may have conditioned areas of the slope for failure during present‐day ice retreat.

ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel geometrically regularized gradient‐damage model for simulating dynamic mixed‐mode fracture in orthotropic materials with tension–compression asymmetry. In this model, a thermodynamic framework is formulated by incorporating damage dissipation into internal energy evolution, from which the constitutive relation and ...

Elastic Buckling Loads of Fixed Frames By The Newmark Method
A numerical method for the solution of the elastic stability of fixed frames is presented. The Newmark iterative procedure to perform elastic buckling analyses for isolated columns is extended for use in computing buckling loads and buckling modes in frames with fixed columns.
