    OPTIMIZATION OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC BEAM

    STRUCTURES WITH HARDENING USING FINITE

    ELEMENT METHOD

    Elastic-plastic beam structures, subjected by distributed loads, optimizationproblems are considered in this paper. Mixed method is suggested to form static andgeometrical equations by setting the finite element interpolation functions of internalforces and displacements. That allows forming optimization problems with restrictedmiddle cross-sections of beams. General expressions of static and geometrical equationsare presented for a beam subjected by a distributed load. The optimization mathematicalmodels of elastic-plastic beam structures with linear hardening are formulated as

    quadratic programming problems. Results of numerical example are presented andbriefly discussed.

    Key words: elastic-plastic beam structures, optimization, linear hardening,quadratic programming, distributed loading.

    1. INTRODUCTION

    Systems subjected only by concentrated loads are considered in manyworks ([1-12]) intended for beam structures optimization. Optimizationalgorithms of beam systems subjected by a distributed load are still notsufficiently developed. Of course, a distributed load can be changed into asystem of some concentrated loads. However, in this case the size of the problemincreases considerably. Therefore, additional difficulties emerge, since successof a solution of a non-linear optimization problem also depends on the size ofthe problem. Trying to avoid these difficulties second order equilibrium finite

    where the directions of displacements kiu correspond to the directions of

    generalized forces kiP . Such a method of creation of element equations is called a static one.However, an alternative method of forming element equations is possible, whichwe call a mixed method.

    We will create an alternative mixed finite element by setting interpolationfunction of internal forces (2.1) and displacements interpolation function

    3. STATIC AND GEOMETRICAL EQUATIONS OF THE

    ELEMENT SUBJECTED BY DISTRIBUTED LOAD

    Often several elements of a beam system are subjected by uniformdistributed loads of intensity yp and sometimes xp , too. When formulating

    optimization problems a second order equilibrium element, one degree offreedom of which corresponds to integral displacement (Fig. 2), is usually usedto model such beams. Distribution of internal forces in such an element isdescribed by these interpolation functions [14]:

    In second and third chapters static and geometrical equations ofconsidered finite elements are presented in local coordinate xy system. However

    beam constructions with beam elements which local coordinate xy axis is notparallel to global all system coordinate ''yx axis are often occur in engineeringpractice. Static and geometrical equations of all construction are being createdwith reference to finite elements equations and are described by global forces Pand displacements u . Therefore the equations of all elements must be expressed

    by global forces and displacements.Relation between generalized forces of free oriented element (Fig. 5) in

    The equations of a whole construction are being formed from thecorresponding equations of the finite elements sk ,...,2,1 , conjugated to entirediscrete model.

    Strength conditions of the construction from linear hardening material aredescribed by inequality

    Construction discrete model, same as a finite element, static andgeometrical equations can be formulated in two ways directly formulatingstatic equations and indirectly geometrical equations or vice versa.

    Separate elements are being connected to the whole discrete model bydisplacement compatibility equations

    Unknowns of elastic-plastic constructions in analysis and optimizationproblems are frequently considered as the residual internal forces rS and

    displacements ru as opposed to the real ones. Since re uuu and elasticstrains meet with the equation

    0BuDS ee , (6.8)

    therefore, from the equation (6.6) can be derived geometrical equation, whichrelates residual strains and displacements of the construction

    The principle of virtual displacements will be used for static equationcreation. With reference to equality of virtual works

    There are static equations of discrete model. Statically possible residual internalforces rS have to meet with the equation

    Direct formulation of static equations. Static equations of discretemodel can be formulated directly, using finite elements static equations (2.2) anddisplacements compatibility equations (6.5).

    Static equations of all elements (2.2) compounds such a system of staticequations

    where kdiag AA - quasi-diagonal static equations matrix, diagonal blocksof which are matrices of separate blocks kA . These equations describe only

    forces equilibrium inside every element but do not describe forces equilibriumbetween elements. Discrete model static equations of every separate element andall system we derive with reference to the principal of virtual displacements.

    Virtual works of internal and external forces of construction are correlatedwith equation

    Considering to (6.13) we derive such discrete model static equation:

    where

    From equation (6.17) follows

    0AS r , (6.19)

    which meets with residual internal forces of the construction.Thus static and geometrical equations of a finite elements system can be

    formulated using one of above described methods. Equation systems created onthe ground of these methods are equivalent though expressions of these systemscan be different. Applying either method we will derive identical equationsystems only when the internal forces vectors kS and displacements vectors ku

    will be the same. Then we will derive TBA .

    7. MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF OPTIMIZATION

    PROBLEMS

    Optimization problem of constructions of elastic-plastic linear hardeningmaterial is being formulated as follows: for given construction design schemaand loading find the internal forces, displacements and optimal beam limitinternal forces satisfying given strength and stiffness conditions.

    Designing beam constructions usually the same cross-sections are selectedfor some beam groups. Lets say that the limit internal forces of such beamgroups are described by the optimized parameters vector 0M . Relation between

    vectors 0S and 0M is described by the equation

    00 GMS , (7.1)

    where G - construction configuration matrix. Stiffness conditions are describedby displacement restrictions

    uLu , (7.2)

    and optimal criterion is minimal value of function

    00 MS T

    f , (7.3)

    here - weight coefficient vector which members are proportional to the totallength of the same cross-section beams; u - maximal values of restricteddisplacements.

    Restraints system of the considered optimization problem is made fromthree condition groups: equations (static and geometrical) that describeconstruction stress-strain state and strength and stiffness restrictions. Thus,considering to above used notation, construction optimization is expressed bysuch a model: find

    0min MT , (7.4)

    Unknowns in this problem are vectors of residual internal forces rS and

    displacements ru as well as limit internal forces and plastic multipliers vectors

    0M and . This is the problem of nonlinear and non-convex programming. Asshown in [14], for the ideal plastic case such a problem can be recomposed intoequivalent quadratic programming problem, which for the positively definitequadratic matrix has only one solution. Applying the technique proposed in [14]we derive such a model: find

    Optimization of this beam is performed for two cases: beam material is ideal elastic-plastic ( 0 );

    beam material is elastic plastic with linear hardening ( 8101,6 ). Iterative solving of the mathematical model (7.6 - 7.7) was used for this

    problem. Cross-section inertia moments and relative plastic zones lengths wasfreely chosen in the first iteration. Obtained results (Table 1) shows, that thedisplacements their limit meanings reached in the first and second spans for bothcases. Objective function (OF) meaning in the second case is smaller by 11,3,and this shows the expediency of hardening evaluation aiming to use lessmaterial resources.

    9. CONCLUSIONS

    1. Optimization algorithms of beam structures subjected by distributed loadsare improved in this paper. Mixed method is suggested to form static andgeometrical equations by setting the finite element interpolation functions ofinternal forces and displacements.

    2. General expressions of static, geometrical equations and strength conditionsof a beam element subjected by a distributed load are formed using mixedmethod. That allows forming optimization problems with restricted middlecross-sections of the beams. Formulating the equations by static method

    there is no such a possibility.3. Formed general finite element equations allow to unify the equationsformation of all construction. It is shown, that using static and mixedmethods we can form a lot of alternative equations systems for the oneconstruction. These equations systems are equivalent but their numericalexpressions will be equal only when internal forces vectors kS and

    displacements vectors ku will be the same for the both methods.4. The optimization mathematical model with non-linear conditions are

    modified to quadratic programming problem and applied for optimization ofstructures with linear hardening and subjected by distributed loads.
