To investigate the elastic buckling behavior of self-anchored suspension bridges subjected to proportionally increasing dead loads, a new stability procedure is proposed based on the deflection theory. For this purpose, a finite element buckling analysis is performed using the initial state solution based on the unstrained length method (ULM) (Ref. 1 ). The finite element solutions are compared with those by the deflection theory. It is shown that both the main girder and tower of the self-anchored suspension bridge are under compression, but their fundamental buckling modes are tower-dominant. Importantly, it is observed that local buckling within the main girder supported by hangers occurs without any geometric change of the main cable, in the higher buckling modes of the self-anchored suspension bridge.
기하학적 비선형성을 고려한 두 개의 비선형 프레임요소의 co-rotational 정식화 과정을 제시한다. 운동학적으로 엄밀한 첫 번째 프레임요소는 변형된 상태의 총 변형성분으로부터 부재력을 산정하며, 정확한 접선강성행렬을 적용한다. 아울러 total Lagrangian 및 updated Lagrangian 정식화에 따른 첫 번째 요소의 엄밀한 접선강성행렬이 동일하다는 것을 보인다. 이에 반하여 두 번째 프레임요소는 절점과 절점사이의 변형을 무시하고 직선으로 가정하여 근사적인 접선강성행렬을 산정하고, 반복계산 시 증분변위로 부터 증분부재력을 구하여 총부재력을 산정한다. 두 개의 수치예제를 통해 첫 번째 프레임 요소가 기하비선형 거동을 추적하는데 있어서 더 정확하고 성능이 우수하다는 것을 입증한다. 특히 케이블부재의 비선형해석 예제를 통하여 첫 번째 프레임 요소가 휨강성을 고려한 케이블요소로 사용할 수 있음을 보인다. Two nonlinear frame elements taking into account geometric nonlinearity is presented and compared based on the Lagrangian co-rotational formulation. The first frame element is believed to be geometrically-exact because not only tangent stiffness matrices is exactly evaluated including stiffness matrices due to initial deformation but also total member forces are directly determined from total deformations in the deformed state. Particularly two exact tangent stiffness matrices based on total Lagrangian and updated Lagrangian formulation, respectively, are verified to be identical. In the second frame element, the deformed curved shape is regarded as the polygon and current flexural deformations in iteration process are neglected in evaluating tangent stiffness matrices and total member forces. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and the good performance of the first frame element compared with the second element. Furthermore it is shown that the first frame element can be used in tracing nonlinear behaviors of cable members.
For self-anchored suspension bridges having the fabrication camber subjected to live loads, a new deflection theory is formulated after an optimized initial state solution is found under dead loads. Its analytical solution for three-span continuous suspension bridges is consistently derived by considering tower effects compared with that derived by the conventional deflection theory for earth-anchored bridges. On the other hand, the unstrained length method (ULM), which keeps all element lengths constant in the nonlinear iteration process, is extended and applied to the nonlinear finite-element analysis of suspension bridges under live loads. Finally, an earth-anchored and self-anchored bridge examples are analytically and numerically solved using the two methods. The numerical results are compared to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of both the proposed deflection theory and the ULM.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact that change in speed and modeling methods has on maglevs' runnability. The study constructed equations of motion on 4-DOF, 6DOF, and 10-DOF vehicles respectively and carried out numerical analysis, applying 4th Runge Kutta method, in order to run six different model maglev as changing the vehicles speed on the same bridge that had 2000 to 1 deflection. The analysis revealed that maglev's runnability improved as speed was lower and the specific model had higher number of bogey and EMS.
자기부상열차가 중 저속 및 초고속 주행 시 차량의 주행특성 및 교량의 동적 응답 결과를 제시하고자 한다. 수직 자유도 및 회전 자유도를 포함한 10자유도 자기부상열차에 대한 운동방정식을 유도하고, 모드 중첩법을 이용하여 교량의 운동방정식을 구성하였다. 또한 제어 방법으로 UTM01제어기법을 적용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석 예제로 노면조도, 가이드웨이의 처짐비, 차량 속도 등이 교량의 처짐과 차량의 부상공극 및 여러 가지 변수에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 부상공극은 조도의 조건에 따라 그 차이가 확연히 드러나고 또한 자기부상열차의 속도가 증가함에 따라 부상공극이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 자기부상열차가 중, 저속 주행 시에는 교량에 대한 영향이 미비하지만 초고속 주행 시 교량에 대한 동적확대계수가 큰 값을 보여주었다. The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamic characteristics of low, medium and high speed Maglev trains and guideways through dynamic interaction analysis. The coupled dynamic equations of motion for a vehicle of 10-dof and the associated guideway girders are developed by superposing vibration modes of the girder itself. The controller used in the UTM-01 Maglev vehicle is adopted to control the air gap between the bogie and guideway in this study. The effect of roughness, the guideway deflection-ratio and vehicle speed on the dynamic response of the maglev vehicle and guideway are then investigated using the 4th Runge-Kutta method. From the numerical simulation, it is found that the air gap increases with an increase of vehicle speed and the roughness condition. In particular, the dynamic magnification factor of the guideway girder is small at low and medium speeds, but the factor is noticeable at super-high speeds.
