Review of studies on geometrically nonlinear vibrations and dynamics of circular cylindrical shells and panels, with and without fluid-structure interaction

A generalized formulation of the Energy-Momentum Methodwill be developed within the framework of the GeneralizedMethodwhich allows at the same time guaranteed conservation or decay of total energy and controllable numerical dissipation of unwanted high frequency response. Furthermore, the latter algorithm will be extended by the consistently integrated constraints of energy and momentum conservation originally derived for the Constraint Energy-Momentum Algorithm. The goal of this general approach of implicit energyconserving and decaying time integration schemes is, to compare these algorithms on the basis of an equivalent notation by the means of an overall algorithmic design and hence to investigate their numerical properties. Numerical stability and controllable numerical dissipation of high frequencies will be studied in application to non-linear structural dynamics. Among the methods considered will be the Newmark Method, the classical -methods, the Energy-Momentum Methodwith and without numerical dissipation, the Constraint EnergyMomentum Algorithm and the Constraint Energy Method.

Generalized Energy–Momentum Method for non-linear adaptive shell dynamics

A rotationless formulation of multibody dynamics is presented, which is especially beneficial to the design of energy-momentum conserving integration schemes. The proposed approach facilitates the stable numerical integration of the differential algebraic equations governing the motion of both open-loop and closed-loop multibody systems. A coordinate augmentation technique for the incorporation of rotational degrees of freedom and associated torques is newly proposed. Subsequent to the discretization, size-reductions are performed to lower the computational costs and improve the numerical conditioning. In this connection, a new approach to the systematic design of discrete null space matrices for closed-loop systems is presented. Two numerical examples are given to evaluate the numerical properties of the proposed algorithms.

Energy-momentum conserving integration of multibody dynamics

Continuum and numerical formulations for non-linear dynamics of thin shells are presented in this work. An elastodynamic shell model is developed from the three-dimensional continuum by employing standard assumptions of the first-order shear-deformation theories. Motion of the shell-directior is described by a singularity-free formulation based on the rotation vector. Temporal discretization is performed by an implicit, one-step, second-order accurate, time-integration scheme. In this work, an energy and momentum conserving algorithm, which exactly preserves the fundamental constants of the shell motion and guaranties unconditional algorithmic stability, is used. It may be regarded as a modification of the standard mid-point rule. Spatial discretization is based on the four-noded isoparametric element. Particular attention is devoted to the consistent linearization of the weak form of the initial boundary value problem discretized in time and space, in order to achieve a quadratic rate of asymptotic convergence typical for the Newton-Raphson based solution procedures. An unconditionally stable time finite element formulation suitable for the long-term dynamic computations of flexible shell-like structures, which may be undergoing large displacements, large rotations and large motions is therefore obtained. A set of numerical examples is presented to illustrate the present approach and the performance of the isoparametric four-noded shell finite element in conjunction with the implicit energy and momentum conserving time-integration algorithm.
