In this paper, a novel variational approach for the ALE formulation of flexible cables is developed for the first time. The fact that the mesh nodes in ALE formulations are not fixed at specific material points makes the classical variational schemes ineffective. Instead of directly adopting Hamilton's principle for non-material volume, D'Alembert's principle in the form of integrals is deduced equivalently. Moreover, isoparametric coordinates are introduced to resolve the spacetime coupling caused by the moving mesh. The virtual works are integrated within the spacetime domain, resulting in elegant and simplified derivations and concise equations for a variational integration scheme. Several benchmarks with either variable-length cables or variable grids are simulated and analyzed, verifying the effectiveness of the present variational integration approach for ALE cable elements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 115820"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If using the traditional ideal flexible cable assumption, the torsional deformation cannot be analyzed. Therefore, incorporating the main cable's torsional and flexural stiffnesses in shape-finding analysis remains highly challenging. This study develops an analytical method for determining the target configuration of the main cable by applying the multi-segment catenary method and the Cosserat rod model. The closed-form solution of the geometrically exact force-displacement-strain relationships is derived, comprehensively considering the tension, shear, bending, and torsion of the main cable, as well as the initial curvatures and axial strains in the reference configuration. Then a two-layer shape-finding framework is established, with the first layer being recursive calculations of the cable shape and the second layer being numerical calculations of the nonlinear governing equations using the Levenberg-Marquardt method. Furthermore, a novel method for calculating the pre-deflection angle of the cable clamp in the free cable state is presented for the first time. A classic cantilever model and a suspension bridge with the spatial main cable are studied to investigate the accuracy of the proposed algorithms. Numerical results indicate that when the spatial main cable is twisted, the bottom edge of the cable cross-section moves outward along the transverse direction of the bridge. The torsion of the main cable includes both elastic deformation and rigid body displacement caused by the bidirectional bending effect. At the mid-span, the torsional angle of the main cable cross-section is 10.088°, and the pre-deflection angle of the cable clamp at the mid-span should be set to 10.851° Moreover, the target configuration is highly sensitive to the flexural and torsional stiffnesses of the main cable while the effect of shear deformations on cable configurations can be ignored.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 115805"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the vanishing trace of the couple stress tensor as a premise, the deviatoric (or traceless) couple stress theory (DCST) is considered. Besides basic equations, the governing equation along with appropriate boundary conditions is given for a three-dimensional problem. Two special cases of plane problems and anti-plane problems are also provided. A simple shear problem is considered to show the advantage of the DCST. An elastic layer with a clamped surface under uniform shear loading on the other surface is solved. Exact solution of the in-plane and anti-plane shear problems of an elastic strip is determined and however, the former has no solution if classical elasticity is used. The results indicate that there exists a boundary layer near the clamped surface of the strip or a great stress gradient occurs near the clamped surface when the characteristic length is sufficiently small.
