TL;DR: A general step-by-step solution technique is presented for the evaluation of the dynamic response of structural systems with physical and geometrical nonlinearities and in the analysis of linear systems introduces a predictable amount of error for a specified time step.
Abstract: A general step-by-step solution technique is presented for the evaluation of the dynamic response of structural systems with physical and geometrical nonlinearities. The algorithm is stable for all time increments and in the analysis of linear systems introduces a predictable amount of error for a specified time step. Guidelines are given for the selection of the time step size for different types of dynamic loadings. The method can be applied to the static and dynamic analysis of both discrete structural systems and continuous solids idealized as an assemblage of finite elements. Results of several nonlinear analyses are presented and compared with results obtained by other methods and from experiments.
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamic analysis of elastic beams subjected to dynamic loads induced by the arbitrary movement of a spring-mass-damper system is presented, and the governing equations for the interaction between the beam and the moving dynamic system are derived, based on a finite element formulation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the analysis performed for the characterization of the dynamic structural behavior of the bell tower of "Nuestra Sra. de la Misericordia Church" (Valencia, Spain).
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-static structural optimization for elastic structures under dynamic loads is presented, where an equivalent static load (ESL) set is defined as a static load set, which generates the same displacement field as that from a dynamic load at a certain time.
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum dynamic loads on the teeth have been deduced from a back-to-back gear test rig, and it has been found that for all applied loads between zero and 1 1 1/4 times design load, the maximum load never exceeds twice the design load (the design load is the load which gives a constant transmission error at low speed).
Abstract: In an earlier paper by one of the authors (9) a theoretical analysis suggested that, at certain speeds, large vibrations can occur in a pair of spur gears, without any manufacturing errors and without any external excitation, provided the damping is less than about 0·07 of critical. In this paper a summary is given of an extension to this theoretical analysis, but the main part is concerned with experimental observations on a back-to-back gear test rig. From these observations the maximum dynamic loads on the teeth have been deduced. It has been found that for all applied loads between zero and 1 1/4 times design load, the maximum dynamic load never exceeds twice the design load (the design load is the load which gives a constant transmission error at low speed). It should be noted that if the design load (for which the profile modification is specified) is appreciably greater than the applied load, the dynamic increment may be very large. Excessive profile modification should therefore be avoided. As the...
