Localized Discrete Modelling of Contact Interfaces to Predict the Dynamic Behaviour of Assembled Structures under Random Excitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Joints used to fasten different parts are the source of local non-linearity with predominance of contact damping in comparison to inherent material damping. The conventional numerical models can predict the dynamic behaviour to a good accuracy, but their implementation for the large system under real time dynamic excitations - like random vibration are encountered with problems of numerical convergence and high computational cost. This paper proposes an approach to model the contact interfaces using discrete elements, with a non-homogeneous definition for the equivalent contact stiffness and damping over the contact interface. The non-homogeneous definition captures the non-linear effects and the local linearisation provides the capability to perform the frequency domain analysis for non-deterministic excitations. The proposed model is validated with experimental results for a test structure excited with random white noise base excitation.
