Análise estática e dinâmica de pórticos espaciais com incerteza no carregamento utilizando o método de elementos finitos

Abstract

In this thesis, static and dynamic analysis of elastic space frames with regime uncertainty in loading using the finite element method (FEM) are described. A structural approach to the dynamic problem of forced vibrations will be made within the linear elastic regime with viscous damping. The structure is approached with thin beam theory which the couplings are considered normal forces due to twisting and bending about the model thin Bernoulli-Euler beam. The strong formulation of the dynamic problem of the beam with axial load is obtained from the equilibrium equations of Euler-Lagrange equations arising from the variational principle of Hamilton and the strong formulation of the dynamic problem of the long shaft under torsion is determined using the model of twist of Saint-Venan. To determine the weak formulation for three-dimensional beam element applies the Galerkin method of weighted residues. Is also described in this study, the analysis of structural reliability considering the uncertainty in loading and some mechanical properties of materials using the Monte Carlo method (MMC). Neumann series will be used as an alternative to reduce the processing time of the dynamic problem. The simultaneous analysis of several variables is addressed using multivariate statistics. Some results of numerical examples are presented in order to validate the methods contained in this work compared with the results obtained from structural analysis of commercial software.
