This study proposes the super-element (SE) differential-quadrature discrete-time transfer matrix method (DQ-DT-TMM), a novel approach that eliminates the requirement for initial component accelerations and effectively handles beam and solid finite element (FE) models with high-dimensional degrees of freedom (DOFs) in rotor systems. The primary methodologies of this approach include: (1) For the beam substructure FE dynamic equation, the Craig–Bampton method is employed for the order reduction of internal coordinates, followed by the differential-quadrature method for temporal discretization. Using SE technology, the internal accelerations are condensed into the boundary accelerations, and the transfer equation and matrix for beam SEs are derived. (2) For the solid substructure FE dynamic equation formulated in the rotating reference frame, in addition to applying the procedures used for beam substructures, rigid multipoint constraints are introduced to condense the boundary coordinates for hybrid modeling with lumped parameter components. The transfer equation is subsequently formulated in the inertial reference frame, enabling the derivation of the transfer matrix for solid SEs. Comparative analysis with full-order FE models in commercial software demonstrates the advantages of the SE DQ-DT-TMM for linear rotor systems: (i) Accurately captures system dynamics using only a few primary modes. (ii) Achieves a 99.68% reduction in computational time for a beam model with 1120 elements and a 99.98% reduction for a solid model with 75 361 elements. (iii) Effectively recovers dynamic responses at any system node using recovery techniques. This research develops a computationally efficient framework for the transient analysis of large-scale rotor systems, effectively addressing the challenges associated with high-dimensional DOF models in conventional DT-TMMs.</p>","PeriodicalId":60486,"journal":{"name":"国际机械系统动力学学报(英文)","volume":"5 1","pages":"141-159"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/msd2.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents an efficient triangular inverse shell element for thin shell structures, developed using discrete Kirchhoff assumptions within the inverse finite element method (iFEM) framework. The proposed inverse formulation is efficient and requires fewer strain sensors to achieve accurate and reliable displacement field reconstruction than existing inverse elements based on the First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). These features are critical to iFEM-based SHM strategies for improving real-time efficiency while reducing project costs. The inverse element is rigorously validated using benchmark problems under in-plane, out-of-plane, and general loading conditions. Also, its performance is compared to an existing competitive inverse shell element based on FSDT. The inverse formulation is further evaluated for robust shape-sensing capability, considering a real-world structural configuration under a practicable sparse sensor arrangement.

A forward modeling approach applicable to complex systems has been developed and analyses of nonlinear dynamic characteristics under different working conditions are performed. First, by integrating with constitutive models in terms of individual elastic elements and the connective relationships within the structure, multidirectional constitutive models for isolation devices are established. Further, the decomposition of linear and nonlinear stiffness components in different directions is performed using the Taylor expansion method. Subsequently, the dynamic response under sinusoidal sweep frequency loading is obtained using the related stiffnesses in the dynamic model and adopting the extended harmonic balance method. The effects of stiffness, damping, and a nonlinear stiffness gradient on the DL-VIS response are thoroughly evaluated. Finally, the vibration isolation performance and nonlinear dynamics under different working conditions are examined, and the proposed dynamic model is experimentally validated. The results indicate that the response of DL-VIS varies significantly under different working conditions, particularly under overload conditions. The nonlinear characteristics lead to wide-band instability near the natural frequency and excellent vibration attenuation performance in multiple directions. The theoretical model agrees well with the experimental results in the nonresonant region and near the first resonant peak, which proves the prediction accuracy in the low-frequency range.
