Static and Dynamic Reanalysis of Tapered BeamIJERA Editor
Beams are one of the common types of structural components and they are fundamentally categorized as
uniform and non-uniform beams. The non-uniform beams has the benefit of better distribution of strength and
mass than uniform beam. And non-uniform beams can meet exceptional functional needs in
aeronautics,robotics,architecture and other unconventional engineering applications. Designing of these
structures is necessary to resist dynamic forces such as earthquakes and wind.
The present paper focuses on static and dynamic reanalysis of a tapered cantilever beam structure using
multipolynomial regression method. The method deals with the characteristics of frequency of a vibrating
system and the procedures that are available for the modification of physical parameters of vibrating system.
The method is applied on a tapered cantilever beam for approximate structural static and dynamic reanalysis.
Results obtained from the assumed conditions of the problem indicate the high quality approximation of stresses
and natural frequencies using ANSYS and Regression method.
Alternative and Explicit Derivation of the Lattice Boltzmann Equation for the...ijceronline
A lattice Boltzmann equation for fully incompressible flows is derived through the utilization of appropriate ansatzes. The result is a singular equilibrium distribution function which clarifies the algorithm for general implementation, and ensures correct steady and unsteady behavior. Through the Chapman-Enskog expansion, the exact incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are recovered. With 2D and 3D canonical numerical simulations, the application, accuracy, and workable boundary conditions are shown. Several unique benefits over the standard equation and alternative forms presented in literature are found, including faster convergence rate and greater stability.
Advanced mathematical analysis of chassis integrated platform designed for un...Dr.Vikas Deulgaonkar
The present work deals with advanced mathematical stress analysis of a platform integrated structure mounted on vehicle chassis designed for unconventional type of loading pattern. The perceptible loading cases in the present analysis comprise static load and its effect on the platform/structure by usage of simple shear force & bending moment diagrams. Deflection analysis using conventional Macaulay’s method invokes the structures suitability for the transportation. Present analysis accentuates on the design stage aspects of the platform as this research is a step in proposed doctoral study. A different type of combination of longitudinal and cross members in platform/frame design is formulated. Present design is anticipated after analysis of all possible combinations& orientations of longitudinal and cross members. Determination of section properties of longitudinal and cross members of the platform & deduction of elementary stress based on the unconventional load pattern are the fundamental steps in design and analysis of structure. Peculiarity of this analysis is the usage of combined section modulus of three members for computation of stress. Present research provides a tool that can be used prior to computer aided design and finite element analysis.
Nonlinear Viscoelastic Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates – A Multi Scale...rtme
Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of
polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a
laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is
obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cell method (SUCM) and
then in macromechanical level, Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) is used to analyse
laminated composite plate. Schapery's integral is used to model nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour of the
matrix. Prony series is considered to define the compliance of matrix. Micromechanical process includes
obtaining overall properties of the composite by SUCM. Both geometrical and material nonlinearity are
taken into account in order to multiscale analysis of laminated composite plate.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Matrix method of Structure Analysis
Introduction: Matrix algebra is a mathematical notation that simplifies the presentation and
solution of simultaneous equations. It may be used to obtain a concise statement of a structural
problem and to create a mathematical model of the structure. The solution of the problem by
matrix structural analysis techniques1,2,3,4 then proceeds in an entirely systematic manner. All
types of structures, whether statically determinate or indeterminate, may be analyzed by matrix
methods. In addition, matrix concepts and techniques, because of their systematic character,
form the basis of the computer analysis and design of structures5,6,7,8. Highly indeterminate
structures may be easily handled in this way and alternative loading conditions readily
investigated. There are two general approaches to the matrix analysis of structures: The stiffness
matrix method and the flexibility matrix method.
The stiffness method is also known as the displacement or equilibrium method. It obtains the
solution of a structure by determining the displacements at its joints. The number of
displacements involved equals the number of degrees of freedom of the structure. Thus, for a
pin-jointed frame with j joints the solution of 2j equations is required, and for a rigid frame,
allowing for axial effects, the solution of 3j equations is required. If axial effects in rigid frames
are ignored, the number of equations involved reduces to j plus the number of degrees of sway
freedom. Irrespective of the number involved, these equations may be formulated and solved
automatically by computer. The stiffness matrix method is the customary method utilized in
computer programs for the solution of building structures.
The flexibility method is also known as the force or compatibility method. It obtains the solution
of a structure by determining the redundant forces. Thus, the number of equations involved is
equal to the degree of indeterminacy of the structure. The redundant may be selected in an
arbitrary manner, and their choice is not an automatic procedure. The primary consideration in
the selection of the redundant is that the resulting equations are well conditioned. OR
FLEXIBILITY AND STIFFNESS METHODS: These are the two basic methods by which an
indeterminate skeletal structure is analyzed. In these methods flexibility and stiffness properties
of members are employed. These methods have been developed in conventional and matrix
forms. Here conventional methods are discussed.
Flexibility Method: The given indeterminate structure is first made statically determinate by
introducing suitable number of releases. The number of releases required is equal to statical
indeterminacy ∝s. Introduction of releases results in displacement discontinuities at these
releases under the externally applied loads. Pairs of unknown biactions (forces and moments) are
applied at these releases in order to restore the continuity or compatibility of structure. The
computation of these unknown biactions involves solution of linear simultaneous equations. The
number of these equations is equal to statical indeterminacy ∝s. After the unknown biactions are
computed all the internal forces can be computed in the entire structure using equations of
equilibrium and free bodies of members. The required displacements can also be computed using
methods of displacement computation.
In flexibility method since unknowns are forces at the releases the method is also called force
method. Since computation of displacement is also required at releases for imposing conditions
3. 3 | P a g e
of compatibility the method is also called compatibility method. In computation of displacements
use is made of flexibility properties, hence, the method is also called flexibility method.
Stiffness Method: The given indeterminate structure is first made kinematically determinate by
introducing constraints at the nodes. The required number of constraints is equal to degrees of
freedom at the nodes that is kinematic indeterminacy ∝ k. The kinematically determinate
structure comprises of fixed ended members, hence, all nodal displacements are zero. These
results in stress resultant discontinuities at these nodes under the action of applied loads or in
other words the clamped joints are not in equilibrium. In order to restore the equilibrium of
stress resultants at the nodes the nodes are imparted suitable unknown displacements. The
number of simultaneous equations representing joint equilibrium of forces is equal to kinematic
indeterminacy ∝ k. Solution of these equations gives unknown nodal displacements. Using
stiffness properties of members, the member end forces are computed and hence the internal
forces throughout the structure. Since nodal displacements are unknowns, the method is also
called displacement method. Since equilibrium conditions are applied at the joints the method is
also called equilibrium method. Since stiffness properties of members are used the method is
also called stiffness method. OR

FLEXIBILITY EQUATION
Consider a structure subjected to forces {F}1 = [F1 F2 …. Fn] where F1 is the force in direction i. Let
it have displacements {∆}T = [∆1 ∆2 …∆n]. Since 𝛿 𝑛 is the displacement in coordinate direction i
due to unit force in coordinate j, the displacements at i due to force F1 is 𝛿11 F1. Similarly, 𝛿12 F2 is
the displacement at i due to force F2. Thus, the total displacement is given by
7. 7 | P a g e
STIFFNESS EQUATION
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FLEXIBILITY AND STIFFNESS MATRICES
From Eq. 1.12, [k] {∆} = {F}. pre multiplying both sides with [k]-1, we get {∆} = [k]-1{F}
But from Eq. 1.1, we have: {𝛿} {F} = {∆}. Hence, {𝛿} {F} = [k]-1 {F} ⇒ {𝛿} = [k]-1 …..1.13
Thus, flexibility & stiffness matrices are inverse of each other.

Determine the deflection at ① and the reactions on the beam shown in Fig. 15–12a. EI is
constant.
12. 12 | P a g e
SOLUTION: Notation. The beam is divided into two elements and the nodes and members are
identified along with the directions from the near to far ends, Fig. 15–12b. The unknown
deflections are shown in Fig. 15–12c. In particular, notice that a rotational displacement D4 does
not occur because of the roller constraint.
Member Stiffness Matrices. Since EI is constant and the members are of equal length, the
member stiffness matrices are identical. Using the code numbers to identify each column and
row in accordance with Eq. 15–1 and Fig. 15–12b, we have
Displacements and Loads. Assembling the member stiffness matrices into the structure stiffness
matrix, and applying the structure stiffness matrix equation, we have
Q = KD
Solving for the displacements yields
Note that the signs of the results match the directions of the deflections shown in Fig. 15–12c.
Using these results, the reactions therefore are

SOLUTION: Notation. The beam has two elements and three nodes, which are identified in Fig.

the unconstrained degrees of freedom. The known load and displacement matrices are
Member Stiffness Matrices. Each of the two-member stiffness matrices is determined from Eq.
15–1. Note carefully how the code numbers for each column and row are established.
Displacements and Loads. We can now assemble these elements into
the structure stiffness matrix. For example, element K11 = 0 + 2 = 2, K55 = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3, etc. Thus,
Q = KD
14. 14 | P a g e
The matrices are partitioned as shown. Carrying out the multiplication for the first four rows, we
have
Using these results, and multiplying the last two rows, gives
Determine the structure stiffness matrix for the two-member truss shown in Fig. 14–7a. AE is
constant.
15. 15 | P a g e
SOLUTION: By inspection, ② will have two unknown displacement components, whereas joints
① and ③ are constrained from displacement. Consequently, the displacement components at
joint ② are code numbered first, followed by those at joints ③ and ①, Fig. 14–7b. The origin
of the global coordinate system can be located at any point. For convenience, we will choose
joint ② as shown. The members are identified arbitrarily and arrows are written along the two
members to identify the near and far ends of each member. The direction cosines and the
stiffness matrix for each member can now be determined.
Member 1. Since ② is the near end and ③ is the far end, then by Eqs. 14–5 and 14–6, we have
Using Eq. 14–16, dividing each element by we have
The calculations can be checked in part by noting that k1 is symmetric. Note that the rows and
columns in k1 are identified by the x, y degrees of freedom at the near end, followed by the far
end, that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively, for member 1, Fig. 14–7b.This is done in order to identify
the elements for later assembly into the K matrix.
Member 2. Since ② is the near end and ① is the far end, we have
Thus Eq. 14–16 with becomes
Here the rows and columns are identified as 1, 2, 5, 6, since these numbers represent,
respectively, the x, y degrees of freedom at the near and far ends of member 2.
Structure Stiffness Matrix. This matrix has an order of 6 x 6 since there are six designated
degrees of freedom for the truss, Fig. 14–7b. Corresponding elements of the above two matrices
are added algebraically to form the structure stiffness matrix. Perhaps the assembly process is
easier to see if the missing numerical columns and rows in k1 and k2 are expanded with zeros to
form two 6 x 6 matrices. Then K = k1 + k2
16. 16 | P a g e
If a computer is used for this operation, generally one starts with K having all zero elements; then
as the member global stiffness matrices are generated, they are placed directly into their
respective element positions in the K matrix, rather than developing the member stiffness
matrices, storing them, then assembling them.

Sol: The total number of reaction components is five, As the conditions of static equilibrium
