One of the main obstacles in making stochastic simulation a standard design tool is its high computational cost. However, this problem can be significantly reduced by using efficient sampling techniques like optimal Latin hypercube (OLH) sampling. The paper advocates this kind of approach for scatter analysis of structural responses. After explaining the idea of the OLH sampling the principal component...
In this paper the constitutive model of thermoviscoelastic model is presented. To obtain the parameter sensitivity equations the direct differentiation method is applied. The paper also deals with the finite element for equilibrium and sensitivity analysis problems. Consistent tangent operator for the model is derived. To integrate the creep evolution equation the backward-Euler scheme is efficiently...
The paper discusses some methods of commonsense reasoning applicable to analysis of truss structures. The proposed method, based on qualitative representation of trusses, allows to reach conclusions in the case of highly incomplete knowledge about the system. Two cases are considered. First, when only the general geometry of the structure is known, without the quantitative knowledge of stiffness coefficients...
The problem of sensitivity of viscoelastic response with respect to material parameters is studied in the paper. The direct differentiation method is employed. The FEM-related implementation issues are discussed. A number of numerical examples illustrates the theory.
Recent advances in reliability methods, optimization as well as design sensitivity analysis have resulted in development of computational systems supporting RBDO processes for medium/large structures. For RBDO the efficiency problems are critical and in order to get the optimum design a number of fast approximate methods have been recently proposed. These methods, tested for rather small problems,...
The behaviour of planar Newtonian and Non-Newtonian polymeric jets is investigated in the context of injection mould filling. The incompressible Stokes flow model consistent with the application of injection mould filling is described together with the shear rate dependent fluid viscosity for a typical polymeric melt. The numerical procedure for the solution of the nonlinear system is briefly discussed...
