6 Types of Multibody Systems 1 Rigid multibody systems: an assemblage of rigid bodies in arbitrary motion with respect to each other. Many efficient formulations are available. Commercial packages available. 2 Linearly elastic multibody systems: elastic displacements and rotations remain very small at all times. Elasticity is treated by modal expansion. Commercial packages available (ADAMS, DADS). 3 Nonlinear multibody systems: displacements and rotations due to deformation are inherently nonlinear. Modal expansion is questionable. Finite element formulation seems appropriate. Commercial packages available (MECANO). Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 6 / 60

7 Classical Approach to Modeling 1 Derive the equations of motion of the system. Take advantage of topological features: equations are derived in a rotating system; Recursive formulations for tree topologies; Simplify the equations: ordering schemes are used to decrease the number of nonlinear terms. Obtain minimum set of equations (avoid constraints). 2 Perform modal reduction for the elastic components. 3 Solve the nonlinear modal equations Static or dynamic response. Stability and trim analysis. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 7 / 60

8 Shortcomings of the Approach 1 Topology of the system is hard wired into the solution process. 2 If specific design details are modified, the equations of motion must be re-derived. 3 Different codes are derived for different systems: Flexible Robots, Road vehicles, Rotorcraft, Wind-turbines, Space systems. 4 Modal reduction might not be accurate and reliable. 5 Software validation is a difficult issue. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 8 / 60

9 Shortcomings of the Approach The present approaches put severe limitations on the generality and flexibility of the resulting codes. Designers are ahead of the analysts. A more general and flexible paradigm for modeling of nonlinear multibody systems is needed. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 9 / 60

11 Finite Element Based Formulation Model configurations of arbitrary topology: Assemble basic components chosen from an extensive library of structural and constraint elements. Avoids modal expansion. This approach is that of the finite element method which has enjoyed, for this very reason, an explosive growth. This analysis concept leads to simulation software tools that are modular and expandable. Elements of the library can be validated independently.

33 Weakest Link Principle Assume that a comprehensive analysis tool comprises the following disciplines: dynamics, aerodynamics, structures,.... Assume that errors are incurred by each discipline E dyn = α d0 +α d1 O(ε)+α d2 O(ε 2 )+h.o.t. E aero = α a0 +α a1 O(ε)+α a2 O(ε 2 )+h.o.t. E elas = α e0 +α e1 O(ε)+α e2 O(ε 2 )+h.o.t., The error incurred by the comprehensive analysis is then E comp = (Σα 0s)+(Σα 1s)O(ε)+(Σα 2s)O(ε 2 )+h.o.t. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 33 / 60

34 Weakest Link Principle Consider the following hypothetical case E dyn = α d1 O(ε)+α d2 O(ε 2 )+h.o.t. E aero = E elas = α a2 O(ε 2 )+h.o.t. α e2 O(ε 2 )+h.o.t. The following error results for the comprehensive analysis Weakest Link Principle E comp = α d1 O(ε)+(Σα 2 s)o(ε2 )+h.o.t. The error incurred by a comprehensive analysis equals that incurred by the weakest link Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 34 / 60

35 How to Evaluate 3D stresses? Local Model σ 1 (x 1, x 2, x 3 ) = Eǫ(x 1, x 2, x 3 ) σ 1 (x 1, x 2, x 3 ) = x 3 M 2 /H 22 Global Model M 2 (x 1 ) = H 22 κ 2 (x 1 ) Bending stiffness H 22 = A Ex2 3 da Euler-Bernoulli governing equations H 22 ū 2 = p 2 (x 1 ) M 2 (x 1 ) = H 22 ū 2 (x 1) Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is based on kinematic assumptions: plane sections remain plane and normal to the deformed axis of the beam Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 35 / 60

36 How to Evaluate 3D stresses? 1 Perform a comprehensive analysis of the rotor 2 Identify critical areas: Maximum bending moment, shear force Trunnion, pin attachment area, etc. 3 Apply the load in a quasi-static manner on a 3D FE model (Ansys, Nastran) 4 Obtain the 3D, ply-by-ply, stress field in all components Apply failure criterion Perform fatigue analysis Study crack propagation, etc. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 36 / 60

37 Saint-Venant s principle Extremity solutions Central solutions The presence of central solutions and extremity solutions is a direct consequence of Saint-Venant s principle. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 37 / 60

38 Saint-Venant s principle = F_ c M_ c Propagating polynomial central solution + Exponentially decaying extremity solution Arbitrary stress distribution Sectional force & moment resultants Self-equilibrating stress distribution An arbitrary stress distribution applied over the cross-section can be decomposed unequivocally into 1 Six stress resultants excite the central solutions, polynomial solutions propagating over the beam s entire span. 2 Self-equilibrating stress distribution excite the extremity solutions, which are exponentially decaying solutions. Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 38 / 60

39 Shortcomings of the approach 1 How do we apply the loads to the FE model? Apply stress distribution is equipollent to the stress resultants computed by the comprehensive analysis Stress diffusion process? 2 Loads are applied in a quasi-static manner: local inertial force are neglected 3 Local aerodynamic forces are neglected 4 Although based on a rigorous 3D FEM, this approach is very primitive Neglects available data Raises many more issues than it solves Gives a false impression of accuracy Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 39 / 60

40 Shortcomings of the approach 1 A well designed blade should act as its own vibration absorber ( Conformable rotor ) 2 D Alembert s Principle: f inertial + f aero + f elastic = 0 3 Equilibrium requires all the loads to be applied on the model 4 Why neglect the local aerodynamic loads? They have been computed Their distribution is not uniform at all 5 Why neglect local inertial forces? They are easy to evaluate Their distribution is not uniform at all Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 40 / 60

Number of elements: 6,880 (length), 1,152 (cross-section), 60 (through the thickness), for a total of 475 million brick elements. Number of nodes: 12,760 (length), 2,304 (cross-section), 120 (through the thickness), for a total of 3.8 billion nodes. Number of dofs: 3.8 billion 3 = 11.5 billion dofs. 3 The UH-60 helicopter was designed using modal methods, i.e., about 20 modes per blade. 4 Computational saving due the dimensional reduction: / 20 = Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 44 / 60

46 Why Do We Neglect Local Loads? Cantilevered beam under uniform transverse pressure, σ a Mid-span maximum axial stress: σ 11max = 3/4σ a (L/h) 2 Mid-span maximum shear stress: τ 12max = 3/4σ a (L/h) Effect of local applied stress: σ 22max = σ a (σ 22max σ 11max ) Olivier Bauchau (UMD) Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis National Institute of Aerospace 46 / 60
