    Numerical Procedure for Two Beam Elastic Impact Analysis

    [email protected]

    1. Introduction

    The procedure for numerical analysis of the elasticimpact of two beams, based on linear accelerationmethod, is presented. Motiation for this work is foundin the practical engineering problem of analysing impact

    response of the communication bridge between twooffshore platforms and protectie construction calledarrestor. It is common to nd two offshore facilities atone oil and gas exploitation place. The rst of them,which is usually xed, is used to maintain all technologyoperations needed for oil and gas exploitation. The secondone is used for crew accommodation. Efcient connectionof these facilities is achieed through a communicationbridge for crew and material transport, Figure 1. Thebridge interconnects xed and oating facilities. Thus,one support is xed and another one is moable. Whenfacilities mentioned are distant there is the possibility of

    the bridge pitching into the sea. So, the task of the arrestoris to restrain the bridge without plastic deformation. There

    are many types of arrestors and also a few calculationprocedures aailable, for example procedures based onenergy conseration principle [1], and some procedureswhich assume the plastic deformation of the arrestor. Theauthors prefer elastic calculation methodology, althoughit is rarely used, because when the arrestor is designed in

    that way, it can be used in similar situations.

    2. Numerical procedure

    Two elastic beams, i.e. upper and lower beam, areunder consideration, Figure 2. One end of the upperbeam is sliding supported, and the other one is hingejointed. If sliding support is moed off, the upper beamis pitching and strikes the free end of the second beam.Another end of the lower beam is xed. This is the startof dynamic interaction of beams, i.e. alteration of contact

    and non-contact stages. The basic equation of dynamicequilibrium yields [2]:

    Global stiffness and mass matrices for upper andlower beam are dened according to [2], and global

    damping matrices for upper and lower beam are denedaccording to [3]. Two types of nite elements are used;beam 4DOF nite element and bar 2DOF nite element.Beam elements are used for the upper and lower beamand the bar element is used for impact location modeling(contact element). The role of the contact element is thedescription of local behaior of both beams near theimpact place. Since the procedure intends to gie a globalresponse, the inuence of considered contact element onglobal deformations of the rest of the construction shouldbe minimized. It is achieed by a relatiely large stiffnessof contact element. This way, only the elastic deformationof contact element is allowed.

    During the pitching of the upper one, the consideredbeams are two independent bodies. Only during thecontact can these beams be treated as one structure. Itis also obious that the beams are not in contact frominstant impact time till instant resting time. Moreoer,

    the interaction of considered beams consists of a numberof contact and non-contact periods. In other words,we can say that the contact of beams can sustain onlycompressie but not a tensile force. This fact should betaken into account when dening the system of motionequations. Therefore, by means of Eq. (1) two systemswith two possible stages of beams interaction shouldbe dened, i.e. the rst one without the contact andthe second one with contact. The rst stage, where twoindependent bodies are inherent, is dened by:

    .

    (2)

    During contact, both beams behae as a uniquestructure, so the coupling should be introduced into asystem of equation (2). The coupling is achieed throughnew stiffness matrix, because inertial and damping forcestake effect on both beams independently. The new globalstiffness matrix is made by imposing the bar 2DOF

    nite element stiffness matrix into the old one. So, thefollowing matrix [2]:

    ,(3)

    is added up together with matching terms in the oldstiffness matrix. Now, the global stiffness matrix can beshown in the following form:

    .

    (5)

    It is more suitable to replace Eq. (5) with the followingone:

    . (6)

    Thus, if the condition in Eq. (6) is satised, there iscontact between the beams. Otherwise the beams are in anon-contact stage.

    2.1. Linear acceleration method

    Numerical integration of Eq. (1) is done by using thelinear acceleration method [3]. This method assumeslinear acceleration in specied time interal. Accelerationector is determined according to:

    ,(7)

    where:

    .(8)

    Integration matrix is dened by the followingformula:

    .

    (9)

    Auxiliary matrices are dened in the following form:

    (10)

    velocity and displacement ector at time instant ti+1

    .

    (11)

    The linear acceleration method shown here slightlydiffers from that gien in [3]. Although there thedisplacement is calculated rst, here it is necessaryto rst calculate the acceleration and then the elocityand displacement. Otherwise, numerical instability canoccur when ery low interal duration tis used, becauseof subtraction of ery close numbers. When the linearacceleration method is used in recommended form, it isnumerically stable.

    2.2. Load

    It is assumed that the external load is caused onlyby graitational force. Taking into account that cross-

    (4)

    Since contact and non-contact stages alternate, thecondition that indicates the starting and the ending of eachstage is the appearance and disappearance of compressie

    load in contact element. So the condition yields:

    section of beams is assumed to be uniform, the weightis uniformly distributed per length. Distributed load ofupper beam:

    (12)and for distributed load of the lower beam:

    . (13)

    2.3. Initial conditions

    It is assumed that in instant initial time the lower beamis in a horizontal and the upper beam is in an inclinedposition. The initial inclination angle is

    u0. This topology

    is used because it is easy to satisfy the compatibilityof beam deections, but some other topology is alsoallowed. During pitching, the upper beam rotates aroundthe joint as a rigid body. The equation of motion has thefollowing form:

    .(14)

    The beam mass moment of inertia is calculated by:

    (15)

    and the upper beam weight moment by:

    .

    (16)

    By substituting (15) and (16) into (14) and afterediting, the following expression is deried:

    .

    (17)

    By integrating Eq. (17) the upper beam angularelocity is deried:

    . (18)

    Integration of Eq. (18) gies the alue of the upperbeam inclining angle during pitching:

    . (19)

    The initial inclination angle is calculated by using thefollowing formula:

    . (20)

    Then, the time when the upper beam is in horizontalposition:

    (21)

    and taking Eq. (18) into account, the angular elocity in

    horizontal position:

    . (22)

    Initial conditions for the upper beam {u}

    0and {

    u}

    0

    are dened by using Eqs. (17), (20) and (22) and followthe next model:

    (23)

    where kiis the horizontal distance from a certain node toan upper beam joint.

    For satisfying the motion equation in the initial timeinstant, deection is calculated by using the followingformula:

    .(24)

    The initial elocity of the lower beam is zero so onecan write:

    . (25)

    Initial deection:

    , (26)

    where {Fl}

    0is the initial force ector of the lower beam.

    3. Energy conservation principle approach

    The impact force between to gien beams can becalculated by applying the energy conseration principle.In the instant initial time instant the upper beam has agraitational potential energy which is transformed intokinetic energy during the fall. After the impact, kineticenergy of the upper beam transforms into kinetic energyof the lower beam and the strain energy of the upperand the lower beam. The energy dissipation duringimpact, like friction or damping dissipation or plasticdeformations near the impact location, are not taken intoaccount. There are also two restrictions; it is assumedthat the stiffness of the upper beam is seeral timeshigher than the lower beam stiffness, so the upper beamstrain energy is negligible when compared to lower beamstrain energy. We also assume that there is zero elocityat maximum deection of the lower beam, so the kineticenergy of both beams equals zero. Taking into account

    the preiously mentioned simplication, we can presumethat graitation potential energy of the upper beamtransforms into the strain energy of the lower beam [1]

    4. Illustrative example

    The collision of the communication bridge betweentwo offshore platforms and the arrestor is analysed. It isassumed that in the initial instant the bridge is leaned onboth ends, Figure 1. When the platforms are distant, thebridge starts to pitch and strikes the arrestor. The bridgeis a braced construction, and is made of high-tensile steel,Figure 3. Properties of the bridge are the following [4]:

    The non-dimensional damping coefcient alue is

    taken to be i= 0,03.Arrestor end is on the position of node 8, and contact

    position on the bridge is presented by node 16. Deectionof these nodes is shown in Figure 6. Critical cross-sectionof the arrestor is at the clamp position, i.e. node 1, and thecritical cross-section of the bridge is in the contact node,Figure 7. Shear stress of the arrestor at clamp positionis presented in Figure 8 and the contact element stressis shown in Figure 9. Comparison of deried numericalresults to those obtained by energy conseration approachis shown in Table 1.

    The strain energy of the bridge [1] is calculated by thefollowing formula:

    (36)

    and when arrestor deection is maximum, it equalsEdef,b= 4,4 kJ. It is obious that the bridge strain energy makesonly 3,0 % of the arrestor strain energy. It is also wellknown that in steel constructions ibrations analysisdamping forces are negligible when compared to inertialand restoring forces. These constructions ibrate in phase,and when deection is maximal the ibration elocity isrelatiely small.

    The agreement of the results is acceptable in case ofdeection and stresses of the arrestor. Large discrepanciesare found in case of bending stress of the bridge. Bridgeshear stress is not calculated since shear stress forbraced construction is negligible. Calculation of naturalfrequencies and natural modes of uncoupled and coupledibrations has been done. Natural modes are shown inFigures 10 to 12. Natural frequencies and natural modesare presented in Tables 2 and 3.

    Figure 11.Natural modes of bridge

    Slika 11.Prirodni oblici ibriranja mosta

    It can be seen in Figure 6 that during the interaction ofthe bridge and the arrestor, from 0,77 s to 1,44 s, there is

    no contact. During that time the arrestor is ibrating freely,and from 0,77 s to 1,24 s makes one oscillation whichtakes 0,47 s. The duration of the mentioned oscillation isnearly a natural period of the arrestor for the rst naturalmode, Figure 10. Therefore, one can conclude that thearrestor is oscillating in rst mode in non contact-stage.A similar conclusion can be deried from looking intoFigures 7 and 8. Figure 7 shows that stress leel arieswith period 0,12 s to 0,14 s, irrespectie of contact or non-contact stage. This period is close to the second naturalperiod of the bridge, Figure 11, and the second naturalmode of coupled ibrations of bridge and arrestor, Figure

    12. One can conclude that in bridge ibrations the secondnatural mode is dominant.

    5. Conclusion

    The presented numerical procedure for the analysisof the elastic impact of two beams seems to be moresuitable for detailed structural analysis, since the energy

    appropriate in design phase. Comparison of the resultsshowed good agreement between deections and stressesat critical arrestor cross-section, but large discrepanciesoccurred in stress calculation at critical cross-sectionof bridge. There are two reasons why this is the case.

    The rst is that critical cross-section of the arrestor israther distant from contact location, where large localstresses and deformations are present. Consideringthe bridge, the situation is opposite, since the criticalcross-section is at contact location. It is well knownthat energy approach cannot capture local deformationsand stresses, and therefore it gies lower stress leel forthe arrestor and particularly for the bridge. The secondone is that energy approach does not distinguish naturalibration modes and their inuence on stress shape. Itshould be emphasized that higher ibration modes haea large inuence on stress leel for rigid structures, for

    example the bridge. That is the explanation why energyapproach gies signicantly lower stress leel for rigidstructures compared with numerical procedure. Thesetwo approaches, i.e. the numerical approach and theenergy approach support each other.

    Appendix a. Study of damping inuence on system

    dynamic response

    The inuence of damping on bridge and arrestordeformations and stresses is analysed. As mentionedbefore, damping matrices for bridge and arrestor arederied by taking critical damping for all ibration modesinto account. Non-dimensional damping coefcient forcalculation is taken to be

    i= 0,03. Recommended alue

    of this coefcient is between 0,02 and 0,05 for standardibration analyses. Haing in mind that the impact loadis present here, i.e. high elocity during the structuredeformation, it is necessary to conduct a more detailedanalysis of damping inuence on structural response.Therefore, the simplied model of bridge and arrestorhas been made, Figure A1. The calculation is executedseeral times with different alues of non-dimensionaldamping coefcient: 0; 0,01; 0,015; 0,02; 0,03 and0,04. Bridge and arrestor deections in correlation withdifferent alues of non-dimensional damping coefcientsare shown in Figures A2 to A7. One can conclude that thedamping coefcient does not hae signicant inuenceon bridge and arrestor deection. Damping coefcientinuence is signicant for bridge stresses, Figures A8 toA13. Time distribution of stress is similar for

    i= 0,0 and

    i= 0,1. Large discrepancies can be noticed at

    i= 0,0015.

    A further increase of the damping coefcient does notdecrease the stress leel, i.e. for

    i= 0,02,

    i= 0,03 and

    i

    = 0,04 the stress leel is approximately equal. The bridgestress leel is rather inuenced by local deformations, i.e.higher ibration modes. At i= 0,0 and i= 0,01 highermodes are still undamped and signicantly increasestress leels. Finally, one can conclude that the dampingdenition described in this chapter has a large inuenceon higher ibration modes, but its inuence on lowermodes is negligible.
