    Notes: Summary This paper focuses on the stochastic dynamic response of structures modeled by finite elements with a relatively large number of degrees of freedom. FE models with nonlinearities and uncertain (stochastic) system properties are discussed. It is shown that component mode synthesis can be used most advantageously to solve the issue of computational efficiency and feasibility. The stochastic response due to stochastic loading of large FE models with nonlinear elements is determined by statistical equivalent linearization (EQL). The developed component-mode synthesis allows to determine the complex modal properties of arbitrary large linearized finite element models. Nonsymmetric structural matrices, as a result of the EQL, and filters for modeling of filtered white noise can be treated by the suggested approach. Since the efficiency of the procedure is nearly independent of the number of degrees-of-freedom (DOF) involved, statistical equivalent linearization becomes applicable for arbitrary detailed FE models. Furthermore, the dynamic response of FE models with uncertain or stochastic system properties is discussed. In this case, Monte Carlo simulation is suggested as the most appropriate approach for FE models. The paper focuses on the random eigenvalue problem for large FE systems as the computationally most demanding part of the dynamic analysis. Component-mode synthesis is used to provide in an efficient manner all the eigenvalue solutions of the FE system needed by the Monte Carlo simulation.

    Notes: Abstract It is well known that the microstructure of metal-matrix composite materials is significantly different from that of the unreinforced matrix. Heat treatments which optimized strength values in the matrix therefore, no longer do so in the composite. It is thus beneficial to find these variations in the heat treatment process, and to pinpoint the microstructural mechanisms responsible. It is known that, in addition to a higher dislocation density, the composite also has a very fine grain size and many whisker interfacial nucleation sites. This study has found that the time required for solutionizing appears to be much shorter in the composite primarily due to the very small grain size. It was also observed that artificial ageing was not very effective in the composite since the precipitates nucleated and grew on the whisker interfaces, therefore, only natural ageing was necessary to achieve peak tensile and yield strengths.

    Notes: Abstract An interesting cubic-shaped precipitate was observed in the matrix of a squeeze-cast Al-4.3 wt % Cu-2.0 wt % Mg/SiC composite which was heat-treated to a T7 condition. Although this phase had been observed by a few investigators in the past, it had never been examined in detail until now. This cubic phase generally had an edge length ranging from 30 to 50 nm and existed in volume fractions as high as 3.8%. Theoretical strengthening models predicted this phase to have good potential for precipitate strengthening. In addition, the cubic phase exhibited a low rate of coarsening at temperatures as high as 250 °C; apparently due to its low interfacial energy. Consequently, this cubic precipitate shows potential for increasing the useful temperature range of aluminium alloys and composites and could be of great importance to the aerospace and automotive industries.

    Notes: Abstract An Al-4.3 wt% Cu-2.0 wt% Mg alloy reinforced with 20 vol% reinforcing fibres was examined after a T7 heat treatment. The expected precipitate phase was equilibrium S′ (Al2CuMg), which was confirmed to form in the monolithic alloy. However when this Al-Cu-Mg alloy was squeeze-cast into a fibre preform and given an identical T7 heat treatment a number of other phases also nucleated; these included θ′ (Al2Cu), β′ (Mg2Si) and the cubic σ phase (Al5Cu6Mg2). These additional phases were determined to nucleate and grow rapidly during the water-quench following solution treatment. The existence of excess Si (approximately 0.5 wt%) in the matrix was determined to be responsible for nucleation of these additional phases. This extra Si entered the composite matrix during squeeze-casting through breakdown of an SiO2 layer which existed at the fibre interfaces. During quenching Si clusters rapidly form and provide nucleation sites for the σ and θ′ phases. The Si clusters apparently created a compressive strain in the matrix which attracted a high concentration of small Cu atoms to their interface. The σ phase nucleated in this high-Cu region since, on a localized scale, σ became the equilibrium phase. This type of nucleation process may also explain the enhanced precipitate nucleation which occasionally takes place in other alloy systems when trace amounts of certain elements are added.

    Notes: In this paper an adaptive parallel multigrid method and an application example for the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are described. The strategy of the adaptivity in the sense of local grid refinement in the multigrid context is the multilevel adaptive technique (MLAT) suggested by Brandt. The parallelization of this method on scalable parallel systems is based on the portable communication library CLIC and the message-passing standards: PARMACS, PVM and MPI. The specific problem considered in this work is a two-dimensional hole pressure problem in which a Poiseuille channel flow is disturbed by a cavity on one side of the channel. Near geometric singularities a very fine grid is needed for obtaining an accurate solution of the pressure value. Two important issues of the efficiency of adaptive parallel multigrid algorithms, namely the data redistribution strategy and the refinement criterion, are discussed here. For approximate dynamic load balancing, new data in the adaptive steps are redistributed into distributed memories in different processors of the parallel system by block remapping. Among several refinement criteria tested in this work, the most suitable one for the specific problem is that based on finite-element residuals from the point of view of self-adaptivity and computational efficiency, since it is a kind of error indicator and can stop refinement algorithms in a natural way for a given tolerance. Comparisons between different global grids without and with local refinement have shown the advantages of the self-adaptive technique, as this can save computer memory and speed up the computing time several times without impairing the numerical accuracy. © 1997 By John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Abstract The increasing use of nonselective mechanical harvesters of fruit requires sorting the fruit on firmness. A model and computer program were developed based upon Hertzian impact theory which can predict the impact force function for a spherical fruit hitting a simply supported beam. The model was exercised to observe the effects of beam dimensions and fruit characteristics, including firmness, on the force function. Experimental work showed that measurements from a strain gage on the impacted beam can be used to determine the force function. The measured force function approximated the function predicted by the impact theory model. This work indicated that by the proper design of a sensing beam, fruit firmness may be sensed.
