This paper investigates the dynamic behaviour of a shallow, viscoelastic, spherical shell under a harmonic excitation. The time evolutions of the response of the corresponding nonlinear dynamical system are described by the phase portraits and the bifurcation of the parameter dependent system is studied numerically so as to identify qualitative changes in the phase portrait. The viscoelastic shell, having more than one equilibrium configuration for some problem parameters, shows periodic and/or random-like chaotic oscillations under the given excitation according to the dimensions of the attracting set. The occurrence and nature of the chaotic attractors are verified by evaluating Lyapunov exponents.

Guided stochastic search technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses: A design-driven heuristic approach
Azad, S. Kazemzadeh; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01)
This study presents a design-driven heuristic approach named guided stochastic search (GSS) technique for discrete sizing optimization of steel trusses. The method works on the basis of guiding the optimization process using the well-known principle of virtual work as well as the information collected during the structural analysis and design stages. The performance of the proposed technique is investigated through a benchmark truss instance as well as four real-size trusses sized for minimum weight accordi...
ISOPARAMETRIC ELEMENTS WITH UNEQUALLY SPACED EDGE NODES
UTKU, M; CITIPITIOGLU, E; OZKAN, G (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
In the isoparametric finite element formulation, mapping of equally spaced nodes on the boundary of the master element to unequally spaced locations on the physical elements results in an unacceptable distortion. This type of distortion is defined as 'node mapping distortion' and a technique for its elimination is presented. Simple test cases demonstrate the utility of the new formulation.
MODELING OF CONTROL FORCES FOR KINEMATICAL CONSTRAINTS IN MULTIBODY SYSTEMS DYNAMICS - A NEW APPROACH
IDER, SK (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
Conventionally kinematical constrains in multibody systems are treated similar to geometrical constraints and are modeled by constraint reaction forces which are perpendicular to constraint surfaces. However, in reality, one may want to achieve the desired kinematical conditions by control forces having different directions in relation to the constraint surfaces. In this paper the conventional equations of motion for multibody systems, subject to kinematical constraints, are generalized by introducing gener...
VIBRATION OF MINDLIN PLATES SYMMETRICALLY COLUMN-SUPPORTED AT 4 POINTS
AKSU, G (Elsevier BV, 1993-09-17)
This paper deals with the free vibration characteristics of Mindlin plates that are symmetrically column-supported at four points. The finite difference technique, based on the energy approach, is used. The first lowest four natural frequency parameters are determined for various values of the finite area of the column supports. Detailed results are given for various values of relative thickness ratio and the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia are examined.
FINITE-ELEMENT BASED RECURSIVE FORMULATION FOR REAL-TIME DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF FLEXIBLE MULTIBODY SYSTEMS
IDER, SK (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01)
A finite-element matrix method of the dynamical equations for constrained flexible multibody systems undergoing large rotations is presented. The algorithmic procedure is based on recursive formulation where all the kinematical expressions as well as the final governing equations of motion are in a matrix form suited for real time computation. The advantages of the method stem from the partitioning of the hybrid coordinates used in the analysis and the identification of the matrices associated with the pa...
