Application of the theory of naturally curved and twisted bars to designing Gorlov's helical turbine 1. System of governing equations
1998
The method of designing a new type of turbine used in flows of various kinds is discussed. Static, kinematic, and constitutive equations for transversely isotropic naturally curved and twisted bars are given, and the hypotheses used are discussed. The statement of the problem is linear and corresponds to small displacements. A method for solving the statically indeterminate problem is proposed. The objectives of numerical calculations, which will comprise the content of the second part of the investigation, are formulated.
Probabilistic analysis of truss structures with uncertain parameters (virtual distortion method approach)
2004
A new approach for probabilistic characterization of linear elastic redundant trusses with uncertainty on the various members subjected to deterministic loads acting on the nodes of the structure is presented. The method is based on the simple observation that variations of structural parameters are equivalent to superimposed strains on a reference structure depending on the axial forces on the elastic modulus of the original structure as well as on the uncertainty (virtual distortion method approach). Superposition principle may be applied to separate contribution to mechanical response due to external loads and parameter variations. Statically determinate trusses dealt with the proposed m…
