A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Using Plate Elements for Modeling Fillets in Design, Optimization, and Dynamic Analysis FEMCI Workshop, May 2003 Dr. Andrew M. Brown ED21/Structural Dynamics & Loads Group NASA Marshall Space Flight Center

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Motivation Many structures best modeled with plate elements –More accurate for “plate-like” structures –Significantly less computationally intensive – still important for optimization, dynamic analysis, small business Presence of fillets, however, requires solid modelling –Automeshing thin-walled structures with solids problematic –Manually meshing fillets with solids not trivial Can ignore fillet frequently, but not always –Significantly underpredict stiffness for thin- walled structures

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Solution & Methodology Goal: Generate simplified technique for modeling fillets for use in design, dynamic analysis. Literature search performed on analytical methods for natural frequencies of plates with variable cross section. Evaluated several options –NASTRAN “GENEL” explicit element –“stepped-up thickness” method  Element 2 (“plate”): Thickness t, Length L Element 1 (bridge): Thickness t b, Length L b Element 3 (bridge): Thickness t b, Length L b “wall” thickness t wall “Colinear” non-filleted section Node 1 Node 2 Node 3 Node 4 Decided on “Bridge Element” method.

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Theoretical Development - Bridge First recognize that “wide-beam” theory allow use of beam equations for plate deflection under plane strain: Generate Stiffness matrix partition for node 4 of bridge configuration: Equation for rotation at node 4 in form of coefficients of load P and moment M in terms of unknowns t b and E b:

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Theoretical Development – plane fillet For actual fillet, express rotation at tangent point as Where Applying boundary condition, obtain nonlinear expression for rotation at tangent:

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Equations for E b and t b Equate the coefficients of P & M in each expression for  f Solve for t b /t and E b /E using Mathematica ™ 4.1

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Results Surface fit for each generated to fit data for easy implementation: where x=r/t and y=t wall /t Matrix of exact results also generated for E b /E= f(r/t,t w /t), t b /t= f(r/t,t w /t). For accurate dynamic analysis, pseudo density of bridges also calculated:

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Validation – Sub-Component Level “Wide-beam” and plane-strain assumptions validated with f.e. models. Fillet tangent rotation equation using beam theory compared with f.e.; 7.8% error

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Validation – Structural Level Representative thin-walled structure fabricated, modeled, modal tested. Dense solid model, plate model with “bridge” fillets, plate model ignoring fillets altogether.

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Excellent Correlation, 90% DOF Reduction Mode shapes consistent Error of “bridge” plate model same as solid model Error of plate model ignoring fillets substantial. Solid model - 257,600 dofs Plate “bridge” model 22,325 dofs

A. Brown MSFC/ED21 Conclusions & Future Work Methodology developed that uses plate instead of solid elements for modeling structures with 90º fillets Technique uses plate “bridges” with pseudo Young’s Modulus, thickness, density. Verified on typical filleted structure –accuracy better than or equal to a high-fidelity solid model –90% reduction in dof’s. Application of method for parametric design studies, optimization, dynamic analysis, preliminary stress analysis Future work: extend theory to fillet angles other than 90°, multi-faceted intersections.
