Foreword.
The contents of this book can be divided into two parts. The first part contains
instructions for harmonic analysis, dynamic analysis of transients, spectral analysis. It
details the features of these programs, the possible options of their application, are
some examples. For example, in the chapters on harmonic analysis and the analysis
of transients considered three possible methods: full, truncated (reduced) using the
main degrees of freedom, and the method of superposition of modes. The advantages
and disadvantages of each of these methods.
The second part is devoted to some theoretical illustrations issues discussed in
the first part. For example, the theoretical basis of the method of superposition of
modes (in Russian literature it is called the method of expansion in their own forms).
Briefly reviewed random fluctuations. Briefly reviewed univariate and multivariate
analysis, as well as issues of cross-correlation spectral densities. Of course, this
review is in no way claim to be complete and only serves as the first part.
1. HARMONIC ANALYSIS
1.1. Introduction
Cyclic load will result in a harmonic response of mechanical systems.
Harmonic analysis is used to find the steady response of linear systems loaded with
4
sinusoidal forces. The calculation is performed by finding the system response at

several frequencies and plot the frequency response. Maximum response found on the
schedule and will meet the maximum stresses in the structure. Harmonic analysis is
used for finding the maximum levels steady vibration. Transients are not evaluated in
this kind of analysis.
Harmonic analysis is a linear analysis. Some non-linearity, such as plasticity,
contact phenomena, or gaps will be ignored, even if they are defined in the system.
The harmonic analysis can be applied to prestressed designs, such as a violin string
(assuming that the voltage of the harmonic load substantially less than that of the
prestressing).
There are three methods of analysis: full, truncated and the method of
superposition of modes. (Fourth, relatively "expensive" - a method of transient
analysis for a harmonic load, represented as a function of time). Program ANSYS /
Linear Plus allows only the method of superposition of modes. Before learning how
to use these methods, consider the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
1.2 Complete Method
The complete method is the simplest of the three methods. It uses the full
system matrices to calculate the harmonic amplitudes of vibration. Matrices may be
symmetric or symmetric. Full advantage of the method are:
Easier to use because you do not have to worry about choosing the main
degrees of freedom, or their own forms;
It uses the full matrix, so that the approximation of the mass matrix is not
needed;
It allows you to use non symmetric matrices that are typical for some
applications, particularly for acoustic problems;
It calculates the displacements and stresses;
It supports all types of loads: forces at the nodes specified (non-zero)

displacement, load elements (temperature and pressure).
He makes good use of solid-state load.
The disadvantage is that it does not allow for pre-loading. Another disadvantage of
this method is that it is relatively "expensive" compared with the other two methods.
1.3 Truncated method.
Truncated method allows you to reduce the size of the problem by using the
main degrees of freedom of the system matrices and acronyms. After calculating the
displacement degrees of freedom on the main solution can be extended to the
original, the full set of degrees of freedom. Advantages of this method:
It works faster and is less "expensive" than a complete method;
It takes into account the effect of the preload;
Disadvantages of this method:
In the first step we calculate only move along the main degrees of freedom.
The second step determines the complete displacement and stress;
Load elements (pressure, temperature) are not included;
All loads may be applied only to the principal degrees of freedom of the
user's choice. (This limits the use of solid-state load);
1.4 Superposition method mod.
The method of superposition of modes based on the summation of factors
eigenmodes of modal analysis. Its advantages are:
It is faster than the full and truncated methods for most tasks;
Load on the elements attached to the (previous) modal analysis can be
applied to harmonic analysis using the LVSCALE;
It allows you to "thicken" the decision to design ranges of natural
frequencies. This allows you to get a more accurate response curves;
Effects of preload can be addressed;
This method allows for the modal damping (as a function of frequency).
Disadvantages of the method:
Not specified zero displacement shall not apply;
When the program is used to find the POWER DYNAMICS natural

frequencies (modal analysis) the initial conditions can not be pre-applied
loads.
All three methods have a common limitation:
All loads must be sinusoidal law changes over time;
All loads must have the same frequency;
Nonlinearity is not taken into account;
Transients are not calculated.
You can work around some of these restrictions using stationary dynamic
analysis with harmonic loads, represented as a function of time.
2. Solution of the problem of harmonic analysis.

First we give a detailed description of harmonic analysis using the full method,
and then give the difference for the truncated method and the method of superposition
of modes.
The procedure for solving the problem consists of three basic steps:
1. Construction of the model.
2. Application of loads and to obtain a decision.
3. Evaluation of the results.
Construction of the model. In this step you define the name of the task, then the task
header using the preprocessor define element type, real constants, material properties
and geometry of the model.
Note 1) When harmonic analysis takes into account only the linear behavior of the
model. Nonlinear elements are interpreted as linear. For example, if you switch
contact elements to the model, their rigidity are calculated at the initial stage, and
does not change thereafter.
Note 2) Must be carefully defined modulus EX (or stiffness in any other form), and
density (DENS) (or mass). Properties of the materials to be linear isotropic or
7
orthotropic, temperature-dependent or constant. Nonlinear material properties are

ignored.
2.1. Application of loads and to obtain a decision.
In this step, you define the type of analysis and its options, a load is applied,
specify options load steps and initiate a solution.
The maximum response of the system will be at frequencies coinciding with its own
frequencies. Before the solution of the problem of harmonic analysis is useful to
determine the natural frequencies of modal analysis.
1. Enter into the solutions with the command / SOLU or in the interface: Main

Each of these options is discussed below.
Option New Analysis used if you need to attach the new harmonic force.
Option Harmonic Response determines the type of analysis-harmonic analysis.
Option method of solution allows you to select one of the following methods:
Complete Method (Fool method);
Truncated method (Reduced method);
The method of superposition of modes (Mode superposition method).

Option output format (Solution Listing Format) allows you to define how the
harmonic movement will be printed (Jobname. OUT). You can choose to output the
real and imaginary parts, or amplitude and phase angle.
Option form of the mass matrix (LUMPM).
This option is used by default or consistent mass matrix approximation lumped
(in this case the mass matrix is diagonal). We recommend this option to accept the
default for most applications. For some problems, using "thin" system, such as thin
beams or very thin shell approximation of the mass matrix using lumped masses often
leads to better results. Mass matrix approximation using concentrated masses requires
less time and memory solutions.
After filling in all the fields of the dialog "box" options harmonic analysis,
click on the "OK" button and a dialog will appear the second "box", where you
choose the method of solutions.
Option "A method of solving" [EQSLV]. You can choose the frontal method
(default), the method of Jacobi joined gradients (JCG), The method of incomplete
Cholesky connected gradients (ICCG). Frontal method is recommended for most
problems in mechanics.
3. The application loads the model.
Harmonic analysis by definition implies that the applied loads vary
sinusoidally in time. For a complete description of harmonic loads using three
parameters: amplitude, phase angle, the frequency range (Figure 2.1).
Fig. 2.1.
9
Amplitude - this is the maximum load value that can be selected by using the
commands shown in table 2.2.
Phase angle - is the measured time at which the load is delayed or ahead
relative to a given point in time. On the complex diagram (see Figure 2.1), this angle
is measured with respect to the real axis. The phase angle is only required if there are
multiple loads with different phases. For example, the unbalanced rotation of the
antenna shown in Fig. 2.2 would lead to vertical loads in four reference points with
different phase angles.
Fig.2.2
The phase angle can not be injected directly. For this it is necessary to
determine the real and imaginary component, and using the value VALUE1
VALUE2 in the appropriate command task load. Fig. 2.1 shows how to determine the
real and imaginary components.
Frequency range is a range of frequencies of the harmonic load. It is defined
later in the option of load steps with the command HARFRQ.
Note 1. Harmonic analysis of the reaction can not rely on the simultaneous
action of several forces having different frequency, for example from two machines
10
with different angular velocities, operating simultaneously. Although you can use to
account for POST1 joint action of these forces.
Table 2.2 shows the load applicable for static analysis. The exception is the
inertial loads, which you can attach to a solid model (points, lines, surfaces), or finiteelement model (nodes and elements).

Key features include the following:

Number of harmonics solutions [NSUBST]
You can request a certain number of harmonics in the decision. Solution
(steps) will be placed within the selected frequency interval [HARFRQ]. For
example, if you select the 10 harmonics in the range of 30 to 40 Hz, the
program will calculate the responses to 31, 32, 33, ... 39 and 40 Hz. The
reaction was not calculated on the lower frequency band.
Stepwise or gradual loading [KBC].
Load can be stepwise or continuously. By default, it is smooth, this means that the
amplitude of the load is gradually increased with each step. Stepwise load [KBS, 1]
means that the amplitude of the load is kept constant for all steps in the frequency
range.
Frequency range forces [HARFRQ].
The frequency range must be specified in the number of cycles per unit time. Within
this range, you can then select the number of harmonics to be calculated.
Damping.
13
Damping in the system must be carefully defined, otherwise can be infinite amplitude
at the resonance frequency. Frequency-dependent damping coefficients entered teams
ALPHAD (proportional to the mass matrix) and BETAD (Proportional to the
stiffness matrix),and frequency-independent damping coefficient by the command
DMPRAT.
RemarkIf damping is not defined in the direct method of harmonic analysis, the
program uses zero damping.
Options presentation of the results include the following:
Print Output [OUTPR] Use this option to include a variety of data results in the
output file (Jobname.OUT).
The database and the data in the result output file [OUTRES]. This option
controls the data in the output file (Jobname.RST).
Extrapolation of the results [ERESX]. Using this option allows you to view the
results on the elements of copying them to the nodes instead of extrapolating
(default).
5. Save a copy of the database in a file named. You can then re-ignite your model,
and introducing restarting ANSYS command RESUME.
Team SAVE. Interface: Utility Menu> File> Save as.
6. Running solutions. Team SOLVE. Interface Main Menu> Solution> Solve Current LS.
7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other additional loads and other frequency bands. If you
plan to pursue post-processing (POST26), the frequency ranges must not overlap
between load steps. Another method of increasing load steps is to maintain the
loading steps in the file, and then obtaining solutions using a macro.
8. Exit solutions.
2.2. View the results.
Harmonic analysis results are recorded in the results file Jobname.RST
They
consist of the following data, each of which depends on the frequency for which the
solution was obtained:
Direct data.
14
Move nodes (UX, UY, UZ, ROTX, ROTY, ROTZ).

Derived data:
Voltage at the nodes and elements;
Deformation at the nodes and elements;
Forces in the elements;
Reaction sites, etc.
If you define the system damping, her reaction will not be in phase with the
acting forces. The results of calculations are complex numbers are stored as real and
imaginary parts. Complete results will be obtained if the system is applied to several
forces that differ in phases.
2.3. Postprocessors.
You can view the results using the postprocessor or POST26 or POST1.
Usually first used to identify POST26 frequency at which the maximum displacement
will (or voltage), choose the most interesting points of the model and then used to
study objects POST1 pattern in these critical regimes.
POST1 is used to display the results in model objects at certain

frequencies;
POST26 allows you to view the results in some points of the model in
some frequency bands.
Some typical operations postprocessors for harmonic analysis are given
below. It must be remembered that:
To view the results in POST1 and POST26 database must contain the
same storage model for which the solution is obtained;
Must be received by the resulting file (Jobname.RST).
Using POST26
The result is a table of POST26. Each variable has its own reference
number, the first number is reserved for frequency.

3. Truncated method
Truncated method uses truncated matrix for the harmonic analysis. Solution of
the problem consists of the following steps:
1. Construction of the model;
2. Application of loads and getting truncated solutions;
3. View Results truncated solutions.
4. Expanding the solution
5. View Results expanded solutions.
The first step of course, is exactly the same as for the full model.
3.1.
Application of loads and getting truncated solutions.
In the method we mean truncated principal degree of freedom.

1. Enter processor solutions.
Team / SOLU Interface: Main menu> Solution
2. Determine the type of analysis and options. Options truncated analysis are
the same as for the full method.
Select the method for solving a truncated;
You can include the effects of prestressing [PSTRES]. This requires the
element files from the previous static or transient dynamic analysis.
23
3. Identify key degrees of freedom. Degrees of freedom are the main

determinants or dynamic degrees of freedom that define the dynamic
behavior of the system. For dynamic analysis of a truncated main degrees of
freedom are selected based on the location on the system where you want to
apply force or zero displacement.
4. Apply the load on the model. The harmonic load may be the same as that
described for the full method, except for some features:
Allowed only application of forces and displacements. Load elements,

such as pressure, temperature, acceleration is not supported.
Forces and non-zero displacement must be attached only to the main

degrees of freedom.
5. Select option loads steps. They are the same as that for the full method,
except for commands OUTRES and ERESX. Team OUTPR controls the
printing resolution of the major nodal degrees of freedom. [OUTPR,
NSOL, ALL (or NONE)].

8. Repeat steps 4 through 7, with additional strength and frequency bands. If
you plan to use a temporary frequency postprocessor POST26, frequency
ranges must not overlap.
9. Close the menu SOLUTION.
3.2 View Results truncated solutions.
Results truncated harmonic analysis are recorded in a truncated file
movements Jobname. RFRQ. It consists of movements on the main degrees of
freedom, which have a harmonic character strength for each frequency for
which the solution was obtained. As a method for complete these movements
will be complex if it was determined damping, or if forces were applied in
more than one phase. You can see the movement on the main degrees of
24
freedom as a function of frequency, using POST26. (POST1 can not be used

because the complete solution for all degrees of freedom is not received). The
procedure for using POST26 exactly the same as for the full method, except for
certain features.
Before defining variables for use POST26 team FILE to select the
data to be read from the file Jobname.RFRQ. For example, if
HARMONIC - name of the task team would be: FILE,
HARMONIC, RFRQ.
Taking into account only the data of the degrees of freedom of

nodes (corresponding to the main degrees of freedom), thus applies
only team NSOL to define variables.
3.3. Expanding the solution

Expansion of solutions designed to calculate the total displacements, stresses
and forces for all degrees of freedom. These calculations are carried out only for the
frequencies and phase angles that you chose. Before initiating extension, you should
review the truncated section using POST26 and identify critical frequencies and
phase angles.
Expanding the solution is not always required. For example, if you are
interested mainly movements in specific points of the structure, the truncated solution
can meet your needs. If you want to define the movement is not on the main degrees
of freedom, or you are interested in stress, you need to apply an extended solution.
It must be remembered that:
Files should be created RFRQ, TRI, EMAT and ESAV;
The database must contain the same model that produced a truncated
section.

The procedure for using POST1 or POST26 the same as that described for the
full method, except for one feature: if you want the phase angle [HREXP, angle],
The only one solution is possible for each frequency.
4. The method of superposition of modes

The method of superposition of modes based on the summation of the
coefficients of the eigenmodes obtained in modal analysis to calculate the harmonic
response. The procedure of the method consists of the following steps:
2. Solution of the problem on their own frequencies and mode shapes (modal
analysis);
3. Preparation method of superposition of harmonic response modes;
4. Expansion of the solution;
5. View the results.
Some remarks on modal analysis
Use the following methods: subspace (subspace), block (Block Lanczos),
truncated (reduced) or Power Dynamic. (Other methods, such as damped
unbalanced and do not apply for the superposition of modes). If the method
of Power Dynamic modal analysis, it is possible to use non-zero loads or
displacements.
Modal analysis must contain as many modes as necessary to obtain a
harmonic reaction.
28
When using the truncated method include those principal degrees of

freedom, to which were attached harmonic loads;
If you need a harmonically varying loads on the (pressure, temperature,
acceleration), you must select them in the modal analysis. Load ignored in
modal analysis, but a vector of loadings will be calculated and written to
file their own forms (Jobname. MODE). You can use a vector of loadings
in the harmonic solution.
Disclosure eigenmodes is not necessary for the method of superposition. (If
you want to see the mode shapes graphically, it needs their expansion);
These models, such as rotations of nodes should not change between modal
and harmonic analysis.
4.1.
Solution of the problem of harmonic analysis method of the

superposition of modes.
In this step, the program uses the mode shapes obtained from modal analysis.
File eigenmodes (Jobname. MOD) should be created and the database must contain
the same model that was conducted modal analysis. If the modal analysis method was
used subspace method or block, and thus the mass matrix used by default, ie, the
diagonal mass matrix, can be obtained by a complete file (Jobname. FULL).
1. Enter into solutions.

2. Determine the type of analysis and its options. This is the same as described
for the full method, except for some differences.
Select the method of superposition of modes [HROPT].
Select the mods that you want to use to solve [HROPT]. This determines
the accuracy of the harmonic solutions. Typically, the number of the modes
should be chosen so that their frequency response was 50% greater than the
frequency range of applied forces.
Usually the decision "thickens" design around the natural frequencies
[HROUT] To obtain a more accurate response curve.
29
Usually at each frequency printed summary table of coefficients

contribution of each mode to the overall response of the system. [HROUT].
3. Attach the load to the model. Harmonic loading is the same, except for the
following features:
Only force, acceleration and load vector created in modal analysis are
correct. Use the command LVSCALE application load vector of modal
analysis.
If you are using modes obtained by truncated modal analysis, force must be
applied to the main degrees of freedom.
4. Select the option of load steps. This is the same as that described for the
truncated method, except that you can choose a modal damping [MDAMP].
Using the [NSUBST] You can choose a number of solutions on each side of
the resonance peak, if you select [HROUT]. The default is calculated 4
solutions, but you can choose another number from 2 to 10.
5. If you used the method of subspace or block method, you can use the nodal
components using the OUTRES, NSOL to limit the data movement in the
reduced displacement file Jobname. RFRQ. Solution of the extension will
give the correct results for those nodes and the elements in which all
element nodes are written to a file with the extension RFRQ.
6. Save a copy of the database.
Utility Menu> File> Save as.
7. Run a task on a solution.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for additional loads and frequency ranges. If you
plan to use a temporary frequency postprocessor POST26, frequency ranges
must not overlap.
9. Exit solutions.
4.2.
Expanding the solution and view the results
Expansion procedure solutions are the same as that described for the truncated
method. File Jobname. TRI required only if you used the method of disclosure of the
30
reduced modes. Results consist of a harmonically varying displacements, stresses and

strains response for each frequency. You can view these results using POST26 or
POST1
5. Harmonic analysis of prestressed structures.
Harmonic analysis of prestressed structures calculates harmonic response
systems such as a violin string. This is only possible method for solving a truncated
or method of superposition of modes. It is assumed that the amplitude of the voltage
harmonic component is much smaller than the magnitude of the prestressing.
Procedure reduced solutions prestressed structures is the same as that for any
reduced test, except for the fact that you must first carry out static analysis.
1. Build the model and get the static calculation, taking into account the effect
of the preload. [PSTRES, ON].
2. Restart SOLUTION now reduced harmonic solution with the inclusion of
the effects of pre-load. [PSTRES, ON]. This should be prepared files
Jobname. EMAT and Jobname. ESAV of static analysis.
3. To account for the effect of preloading method of superposition of modes,
you must first perform a modal analysis based on prestressing. The results
of this analysis will be considered in the method of superposition of modes.
6. Transient analysis
6.1.
Introduction.
Transient analysis (sometimes called an analysis time) is used to find the
dynamic response of the system under the action of some of the load-dependent time.
You can use this type of analysis to determine the time dependence of the
displacements, strains, stresses and forces in the system as a response to some
combination of static, transient and harmonic forces. Calculation of the time scale
means that the effects of inertia and damping are important. If these effects are not
taken into account, it is sufficient static analysis.
The basic equation of motion is
M u Cu K u F (t ) ,
31
where M -Mass matrix, -Damping matrix, K -Stiffness matrix ( u ) Vector

accelerations of nodes u Vector velocity nodes u Vector displacement nodes.
F (t ) Load vector.
At some given time t, this equation can be interpreted as a set of "static"
equilibrium equations considering inertia forces and damping forces. ANSYS uses
the Nyumarka procedure for time integration. Increment of time given time steps.
6.2.
Preparing for dynamic transient analysis.

You will use the same set of commands for building models and generating
dynamic transient analysis that you use for other types of finite element analysis.
Dynamic transient analysis is more time consuming than static analysis, and requires
large computer resources and very large your "engineering" of resources (eg, time
spent). You can save some of these resources performing some preliminary work for
the understanding of the physical nature of the problem. For example, you can:
1. Initially, the simplest problem to solve. Model consisting of beams, weights
and springs can give a good approximation to the true solution with
minimal time. This simple model can fully satisfy you in solving the
problem of finding the dynamic response of the system.
2. If you turn the system nonlinearity, first try to understand how these effects
influence the system under static load. In some cases, they do not make
sense to include in a dynamic analysis.
3. Try to understand the dynamics of the system. It is useful to carry out a
modal analysis to determine the natural frequencies and vibration modes.
This will help you to understand the response of the system under the action
of loads. In addition, knowledge of the natural frequencies will help you
determine the right size of time steps.
4. For nonlinear problems using technology subsystems (Substructuring) linear
part of the model to reduce solution time.
6.3. Three methods of solution.
There are three methods of solving the problem of dynamic transient
analysis: full, reduced and the method of superposition of modes. Program
32
ANSYS / LINEAR PLUS allows only the method of superposition of modes.

Before a detailed study of each of these methods consider the advantages and
disadvantages of each.
6.3.1. Full method.
Full method uses full system matrices for finding the dynamic response of the
system. He is the most powerful of the three methods because it takes into account all
types of nonlinearities (plasticity, large displacement, large deformations, etc.). If you
do not want to take into account the non-linearity, you should consider the
appropriateness of the other two methods as a complete method - the most
"expensive" of these three methods.
Advantages of the full method:
It is most simple, as it requires no major degrees of freedom of choice or

mode shapes.
It takes into account all types of nonlinearities.
It uses the full matrix so that the matrix mass of approximation is required.
All displacements and stresses are determined in one step.
It takes into account all types of loads: nodal forces are not zero
displacements (although this is not recommended), load elements (pressure
and temperature).
He makes good use of solid-state load.
The main drawback of the method is that it requires more memory and more time
solving.
6.3.2. Reduced method.
Reduced method condenses the size of the problem by using the main
degrees of freedom and the reduced matrices. After calculating the displacement
along the main degrees of freedom, ANSYS solution extends to the full set of degrees
of freedom. Benefits reduced method:
It works faster and is less "expensive" method.
Disadvantages reduced method:
33
In the initial decision determined only move along the main degrees of
freedom. The second step, known as the expansion step is required for all
displacements, stresses, forces. Sometimes the expansion step is not
required.
Load elements (pressure, temperature) is not supported but allowed
acceleration.
All loads must be attached to the main degrees of freedom selected by the
user. This limits the use of solid loadings.
Time steps should be permanent, as the automatic determination of the steps
is not supported.
Allowed nonlinearity type contact conditions between nodes or gaps.
6.3.3. Superposition method mod.
In the method of superposition of modes summed coefficients of mode shapes
of modal analysis. This method is the only permissible method for the program
ANSYS / LINEAR PLUS. Its advantages are:
It works faster and is less "expensive" method and compared with the
reduced and full methods.
Load elements enclosed in modal analysis, can be applied by using the
LVSCALE.
This method supports the modal damping (damping ratio as a function of
the mode number).
Disadvantages of the method:
Time step size should be constant, as automatic selection step is not
supported.
Allowed nonlinearity type contact conditions between nodes or gaps.
It can not be used for a "floating" or not fixed system.
When you use the Power Dynamics, the initial conditions can not be preapplied loads or displacements.
Method does not support the use of non-zero displacement.
34
6.4 Dynamic analysis of transient complete method.

The procedure for solving the problem of dynamic transient analysis full
method consists of three main steps:
2. Application loads and obtain a decision;
Construction of the model. In this step you define the name of the task, then the
task header using the preprocessor define element type, real constants, material
properties and geometry of the model.
You can use both linear and nonlinear elements;
Modulus of elasticity or stiffness EX in any form and density (DENS) or
mass in some form must be specified. Material properties can be linear or
non-linear, isotropic, orthotropic, or temperature-dependent.
Some observations on the density of the partition.
Density partition should be fine enough to represent the highest form of the
desired fashion;
Regions model where you are interested in stress and strain must be broken
thinner than the regions where you are only interested in moving;
If you want to include non-linearity, the partition must be such as to
manifest the effect of these nonlinearities. For example, plasticity requires
reasonable density integration points (hence the thin partition) to surfaces
with high gradient of plastic deformation;
If you are interested in the effects of wave propagation, the partition should
be sufficient to represent the wave. Usually it takes about 20 elements per
wavelength along the direction of propagation.
Application of loads and to obtain a decision. In this step, you define the type of
analysis and its options, a load is applied, choose the option of load steps and initiate
the finite element solution.

3. Application of the load model.
Transient analysis to determine the uses of load, time-dependent. Choosing
such loads, you need to divide curves "load-time" at the appropriate time steps. Each
"corner" in the time curve could be one load step, as shown in Fig. 6.1.

37
The first time step is typically used to set the initial conditions. Then you must
determine the load and load steps option for subsequent time steps. For each time
step, you need to determine the amount of load and the value of time, to determine
the load options, such as the jump or smooth increase of load, the use of automatic
step selection, etc. Then you have to write each time step in the file and solve all the
time steps together.
Accounting for initial conditions.
First time step in the applied load is used to set the initial conditions, ie, at t =
0. Dynamic transient analysis requires two sets of initial conditions (since the
equations of motion are second-order equations): initial move u 0 and the initial
velocity u 0 . If they are not specified, they are considered to be zero. Initial
acceleration u0 always taken to be zero, but you can choose nonzero initial
acceleration of the relevant application acceleration on a small time interval.
Zero initial displacement and zero initial velocity - This is the default initial
conditions, ie if u 0 u 0 0 you should not determine anything. You can attach the
load corresponding to the first "corner" curve "load-time" in the first time step.
Nonzero initial displacement and nonzero initial velocity you can enter these
initial conditions by using the IC or via:
Main Menu> Solution>-Loads Apply> Initial Condit `n> Define
Caution: You can not define the initial conditions are incompatible. For
example, you have identified an initial velocity in a single degree of freedom, and the
initial velocity in all other degrees of freedom equal to zero, which leads to conflict
of initial conditions. In most cases, the initial conditions are entered in all loose
degrees of freedom model. If these initial conditions are not the same for all degrees
of freedom, then you need to enter them as shown below. (See description of the
commands TIMIND andIC).
38
Zero initial displacement and nonzero initial velocity Nonzero velocity

introduced application of small displacements within a small time interval for part of
the structure where the rate is to be determined. For example, if u 0 0.25 , You can
enter the movement for equal time interval 0.001 0.004, as shown below.
TININT, OFF | Effect integration time off
D, ALL, UY, 0.001 | Introduced small displacement (velocity is along the Y)
TIME, 0.004 | initial velocity = 0.001 / 0.004 = 0.25
LSWRITE | Write to the file load steps (Jobname.S01)
DDELE, ALL, UY | Destruction applied displacements
TININT,ON
| The effect of the integration time is included
Nonzero initial displacement and nonzero initial velocity

This is the same case as shown above, except that instead of small
displacements introduced their real values. For example, if u 0 1,0 , u 0 2,5 You must
enter the displacement of 1.0 to 0.4 during the time interval.
D, ALL, UY, 1.0 | Introduced movement (velocity is along the Y)
TIME, 0.4 | initial velocity = 1.0 / 0.4 = 2.5
DDELE, ALL, UY | Destruction applied displacements
TININT,ON
| The effect of the integration time is included
Nonzero initial displacement and zero initial velocity

This requires two steps [NSUBST, 2] In increments of selected movements [KBS, 1].
Without predetermined displacement increment will vary directly with time, leading
to a non-zero initial velocity. The example below shows how to enter u 0 1,0 and
u 0 0 .

3.1 Dynamic options include:

The effect of time integration [TIMINT]
The effect of time integration can be included to account for the effect of inertia and
damping (if we get off static solution). By default, the time integration effect is
enabled. This option is useful to start the transition from the initial static solution.
The first step is done with option turned off effect of time integration.
Transition parameters of integration [TINTP]
Transient integration parameters control the operation of the program integration by
Newmark. The default method of average acceleration. See section on the basics of
the theory.
Damping
Damping is present in some form in most systems and must be considered in solving
the problem. You can choose four forms of damping in the full dynamic analysis:
Alpha (damping is proportional to the mass) [ALPHAD];
Beta (damping proportional to stiffness) [BETAD];
Damping-dependent material properties [MP, DAMP];
Damping elements (for example, an element COMBIN7).
6.5Main options.
Key features include the following:
Time [TIME]
This option specifies the time at the end of the load step.
Hopping or smoothly varying load [KBS].
This option indicates whether the load varies smoothly for step [KBC] Or abruptly
[KBC, 1]. The default is a smooth change in load for static analysis and stepwise for
the full dynamic analysis when SOLCONTROL option enabled.
Step time integration [DELTIM or NSUBST].
Integration step is the time increment of time by integrating the equations of motion.
You can directly [DELTIM], Or determined by the number of substeps [NSUBST].
Time step size determines the accuracy of the solution: the smaller the step size, the
43
higher the accuracy. Recommendations on the choice of the time step size are given
later.
Automatic selection step [AUTOTS].
This option, known as the optimization of the time step in transient analysis,
increases or decreases the step size depending on the response of the system. For
most purposes, we recommend that you enable automatic selection of the upper and
lower limits of the step sizes. These limits are selected using commands DELTIM or
NSUBST. By default, this option is enabled, when the option SOLCONTROL.
6.6Accounting options nonlinearities.
Accounting options nonlinearities are used only if the system includes nonlinearity
(plasticity, contact elements, creep, etc.). These include:
The maximum number of iterations [NEQIT];
Accuracy convergence [CNVTOL];
Option correction prediction [PRED];
Option research line [LNSRCH];
Criterion creep [CRPLIM];
Option closure solutions [NCNV].
More information on the use of these options, see "Guidelines for nonlinear
problems."
6.7.
Options control the output.
Control options include the following output:

Output to a printer [OUTPR]
Using this option allows you to enable some of the results in the output file
(Jobname. OUT).
The database and output files, [OUTRES]
This option allows you to control the data in the resulting file (Jobname. RST)
Extrapolation of the results [ERESX].
Using this option allows you to view the results of the integration points of the
element by copying them to the nodes instead of extrapolation. (Default).
44
Attention: By default, only the last time step is written to the output file with the full
method of dynamic analysis. To record all the steps set FREQ field team OUTRES
position ALL. Maximum 1000 steps written to the output file by default. To
increase memory resources, use the command /CONFIG, NRES.
Sometimes the proper use of commands OUTRES or OUTPR may lead to some
difficulties.
Example load file is shown below.
TIME, ..... | Time end of the first load step
LOADS. .. | Meaning of load over time
KBC, | Continuous or intermittent load
LSWRITE | Write to the file load step
TIME, .... | Time end of the second load step
LOADS ... | load value at a time over
KBC, ... | Continuous or intermittent load
TIME, ..... | Time end of the third load step

6.9 Reduced dynamic transient analysis

Reduced method, as its name implies, uses a reduced matrix to calculate the
dynamic response. It is possible to program ANSYS / Multiphysics, ANSYS /
Mechanical, ANSYS / Structural. You should consider the application of this method,
if you do not include the non-linearity (no more than a contact node to node) in the
problem.
Reduced dynamic analysis procedure consists of five basic steps:
2. Getting reduced solutions;
3. View the results of the reduced solution;
51
4. Expanding the solution;

5. View Results expanded solutions.
The first step is the same as for the full method, except that it does not take into
account the nonlinearity (can be considered the only contact between the two nodes,
defined in terms of the form of the gap, instead of introducing the corresponding
element). Follow the steps detailed below.
Reduced solution is obtained in relation to major degrees of freedom. The
procedure for obtaining the following solutions:
1. Enter into the solutions with the command / SOLU or via interface:
Main Menu> Solution.
2. Determine the type of analysis and its options. This is the same as for the
full method, except for the following differences:
Select the method for solving the reduced [TRNOPT];
Nonlinearities accounting options are not possible [NLGEOM, SSTIF,

NROPT];
You can include the effects of prestressing [PSTRES]. This file requires elements
from the previous static or transient analysis;
Restart not possible [ANTYPE].
3. Identify key degrees of freedom. It should mainly characterize the dynamic
behavior of the system. Reduced for transient analysis, the main degrees of
freedom necessary to choose where you want to define the conditions of the
gap, to contribute or not zero displacements. You can print selected major
degrees of freedom, or to destroy them.

Terms gap
Terms gap can only be defined between the two main nodes or between the
main nodes and support as shown in the figure.
Terms gap similar to the element type is selected and the gap between the
surfaces between which is supposed to contact (impact) during the transition
process. ANSYS considers efforts in the gap, which develop when the gap is
closed using the equivalent nodal load vector. Some recommendations for
determining the conditions of the gap are given below.
Use sufficient conditions for obtaining a uniform distribution of contact
stress between the contacting surfaces.
53
Determine reasonable contact stiffness. If the stiffness is too small contact

surfaces overlap too much. If the hardness is too high, a very small time
step is required for the time of impact. The main recommendations selection
stringency gap is one or two orders of magnitude higher than the rigidity of
the adjacent elements. Can determine the rigidity of adjacent elements using
the ratio AE / L, where A-effective contact area, E-modulus softest material
in the gap, L - depth of the first layer of elements in the gap.
5. Enter the initial conditions for the model. Following values are possible in
the reduced transient analysis:
Only possible movement, strength, and translational acceleration (such as

gravity). Load acceleration is not supported if the model contains some key
coordinates of the nodes with the rotation of the nodal coordinate systems.
Forces and non-zero displacement must be attached only to the main degrees of
freedom.
As mentioned for the full method, numerous steps load usually require the definition
of "load history" in transition analysis. The first step is used to establish initial
conditions. The second and subsequent load steps are used to enter values.
Set the initial conditions. Basic conditions may be set explicitly only for
displacements ( u 0 ), The initial velocity and acceleration must be zero.
(u 0 0, u0 0) . Movement can not be eliminated in the subsequent steps load,
nevertheless, they can not be used for determining the initial velocity. In the
reduced transient analysis of static solution is always considered as a
preliminary ruling used to determine u 0 .
Identify options load steps for the first step. The following options for the
first step (see Table. 6.5).

function of time. You can see the movement on the main degrees of freedom as a
function of time using the POST 26.
The procedure for using POST 26 is the same as described for the full method,
except for the following differences:
Before defining the variables in POST 26, use the command FILE
(Main Menu> TimeHist Postpro> Setting> File) To select the data to be
read from a file Jobname. RDSP. For example, if the name of the task TRANS, it will be a full team FILE FILE, TRANS, RDSP.
Degrees of freedom only data nodes (main degrees of freedom) are

possible to view.
6.9.2 Expanding the solution.

Advanced solution starts after the reduced solution and expects to complete
displacement, voltage and power in all degrees of freedom. This solution will be
obtained for only one point in time that you choose. Before starting the extended
solutions you need to see the results of the reduced solutions using POST26 and
select a critical point in time.
Note. Preparation of extended solutions is not always required. For example, if
you mainly interested in moving to some points of your design, the reduced solution
can satisfy you. Of course, if you want to determine not move in the main degrees of
freedom, or you are interested in voltage and power, you should get an extended
solution.
Files with the extensions. RDSP,. EMAT,. ESAV,. DB and. TRI should be
obtained in the reduced solution.

6.10 Example transient analysis.
This example shows a transient analysis using the reduced method at a constant
force to the finite time of its rise. In this problem, a steel beam with a concentrated
mass is exposed to dynamic loading.
Steel beam length l supports a concentrated mass m. Acts on the beam dynamic
load F (t) c time ascending t r and a maximum value F1 . If the weight of the beam is
not taken into account to determine the time at which you want the maximum
displacement t max and the maximum displacement value y max . Still need to determine
the maximum stress in the beam.
The beam is used in this decision, and its area is taken as a unit. Full-time 0.1
allows weight to achieve maximum displacement. Home degree of freedom takes on
mass in the transverse direction. Static solution is obtained on the first load step. The
time of maximum response (0,092 s) was chosen to expand solutions.

6.11 The method of superposition of modes in transient analysis.

The method of superposition of modes based on the summation of the
coefficients of the modes obtained from modal analysis to calculate the dynamic
response. The procedure of the method consists of five basic steps:
2. Getting modal solutions (finding natural frequencies and forms);
3. Solution of transient analysis method of superposition of modes;
4. Expanding the solution;
The first of these steps, exactly the same as for the full method.
6.11.1 Preparation of modal solutions.

You should keep in mind the following features:
65
Methods of solving the problem may be the following: reduced, block, subspace,
or Power Dynamic (the other two methods and damped unbalanced do not apply
to the method of superposition of modes). You can use the Power Dynamic, only
if there is no initial static load (all loads are zero in the first step);
Disclose all the modes required for transient analysis;
Method for reduced disclosure events, including the main degrees of freedom of
the nodes in which the forces and conditions specified gap.
Enter fixing. These consolidation will be ignored if they are specified in the
transition analysis by superposition of modes instead of modal analysis.
If you must enter the load elements (pressure, temperature, acceleration, etc.) in a
transient dynamic analysis, you must determine their modal analysis. Load
ignored in modal analysis, but the load vector will be calculated and recorded in
the form file mode (Jobname. MODE). You can then use this load vector for the
transient analysis.
These models should not change between modal and transient analysis.
There is no need to disclose the method of superposition of fashion events. If you
want to view from the reduced form of fashion solutions, you have to open them.
6.11.2. The solution by superposition of modes.
In this step, the program uses the mode shapes obtained in the modal analysis. It must
be remembered that:
File mode shapes to be produced (Jobname. MODE).
The database must contain the same model for which the solution obtained modal
analysis.
1. Enter the command / SOLU or via interface: Main Menu> Solutions.
2. Determine the type of analysis and its options. This is the same as that described
for the full method, excluding the following features:
Select the method of superposition of modes [TRNOPT].
Determine the number of modes to be used in decision [TRNOPT]. This
determines the accuracy of the transient solutions. At a minimum, you must use all
the modes which, in your opinion, affect the dynamic response of the system. For
66
example, if you turn to the consideration of the high frequencies, the number of
modes must be taken into account include high fashion. By default, all modes
obtained in the modal analysis.
Nonlinear options [NLGEOM, SSTIF, NROPT] Are not considered.
Restart not possible [ANTYPE].
3. Define the conditions of the gap if necessary. They can only be defined between
the two major nodes or between the master node and the "ground."
Team GP . Interface: Main Menu> Solutions> Dynamic Gap Cond> Define
4. Attach the load to the model. The following load method of superposition of
modes:
Only possible forces and translational acceleration vector loads generated in the
modal analysis. Not zero displacements are ignored. For an application, use the
command load vector LVSCALE (Main Menu> Solutions> Loads - Apply>
Load Vector> For Mode Super).
If the mode shapes obtained from the reduced modal analysis, force may be
applied only to the main degrees of freedom.
Multiple load steps usually require the definition of "loading history" in
transition analysis. The first step load is used to determine the initial conditions, and
the second and subsequent steps are used for the analysis of transients.
Set the initial conditions. The initial conditions, which can be accurately set this
initial move. Static solution using the method of superposition of modes is
always considered as the first solution at a given load. If modal analysis program
was used POWER DYNAMICS, any load or displacement is not taken into
account, ie, in this case only accepted zero initial conditions.

6.12 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures
Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures allows to calculate the dynamic
response of systems, for example, take into account the thermal expansion of the
residual thermal stresses. Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures depends on the
type of transition.
6.12.1 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures complete method.
You can include the effects of prestressing full dynamic analysis using the
application preloads static load step without removing them in the next steps. The
procedure consists of two main steps:
1. Build your model, enter the SOLUTION, and define the type of analysis
(Transient analysis) [ANTYPE, TRANS].
Attach all preloads;
Turn off the effects of time integration [TIMINT, OFF];
Turn on the strengthening effects [SSTIF, ON];
Set a time equal to the value of some small dummy [TIME];
Write down the first load step file Jobname. S01.
70
If preloading effects develop as a result of the nonlinear behavior of structures

(as in the case of residual thermal stresses in the casting), it may take several steps to
determine the load prior static. In the case of geometric nonlinearity (large
displacement effect) you can take into account the effect of prestressing team
[NLGEOM, ON].
2. For all subsequent load steps include effects of integration [TIMINT, ON]
and spend a full dynamic analysis, as described above. Writing down all the
steps to load the file [LSWRITE] you can initiate a solution with multiple
load steps.
6.12.2 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures reduced method.
Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures reduced method requires that you
first loaded up your model in a separate static analysis. It is assumed that the voltagedependent time (transient) will be substantially less than the voltage on the preload. If
it is not, then you need to use the full dynamic analysis.
1. Build the model and get the static solution to the effects of
prestressing [PSTRES, ON].
2. Reenter SOLUTION now the solution of the reduced transient
analysis when the accounting effect of prestressing [PSTRES, ON].
The files Jobname. DB, Jobname. EMAT and Jobname. ESAV must
be obtained.
6.12.3 Dynamic analysis of prestressed structures using superposition modes.

When taking into account the effect of pre-stress in the method of
superposition of modes, you must first carry out a modal analysis from the
prestressing. If the modal analysis results given prestressing retrieved, transient
analysis is performed as described above.
7. Other features transient analysis.
7.1.
Some guidance on the choice of the integration step.

71
As described above, the accuracy of solution transients depends integration

step: a step smaller, the more accurate solutions. Too big step integration will make a
mistake in the reaction of the higher modes. Too small step integration bude lead to
too much computation time, and need a great memory. To calculate the optimal time
step, we present five recommendations:
1. Determine the frequency response. The time step should be substantially
less than the resulting motion of the system. Since the dynamic response of
the system can be represented by a combination of modes, the time step
should allow to analyze the highest fashion of this combination. For the
integration procedure for Nyumarku found that an acceptable time step
should be a fraction of the twentieth period of higher frequency.
The step size = 1/20fMAX.
Requires a smaller time step, if the result of the calculations necessary to
determine the acceleration.
The figure shows the dependence of the oscillation period increase depending
on the time step for the one-mass system. The graph shows that when the step size
1/20 of an increase in the period of the oscillation period is less than 1%.
2. Determine the curve of load versus time. The time step must be small
enough to pass a function of load. The trend seen in the reaction with
respect to some lag applied forces, especially after a sudden change in load,
as shown in the figure. Sudden change of load requires small time steps. In
this case it is recommended to take the time step is smaller than 1/180f.
72
Ris7.1
3. Determine the frequency of contact. In problems with contact elements
(impact) the time step should be considerably shorter than the interaction
between the two contacting surfaces. In other words, will attend apparent
losses of energy shot is perfectly elastic. Step integration may be
determined from the frequency of contact.
Integration step = 1/Nfc,
Where f c 1 2 k m
Here k gap stiffness, m the effective mass in the gap, N-number of points per
cycle. To minimize energy losses usually take N = 30. Make sure to take a
greater value if you want to find the acceleration. For the reduced method and
the method of superposition of modes N must be at least not less than 7.
You can use more than 30 steps per cycle during impact when the contact
between the contact and the mass much less than the total time and the transient
weight so that the effect of energy loss in the entire system can be small.
4. Determine the wave propagation. If you are interested in the effects of wave
propagation, the time step should be less time meme propagation through
the element.
5. Determine nonlinearity. For most nonlinear problems, the required time
step depends strongly on the type of nonlinearity. For example, the system
tends to increase the rigidity under load (e.g., a large problem when the
displacement of the flexural model to the membrane). This should be an
assessment of the highest frequency of the system.
After evaluating the time step using these recommendations, use the minimum
value for the calculation. Using the automatic time step will allow you to
entrust the problem of choosing the step program.
7.2 Automatic time step.
Automatic selection of the time step allows you to change the integration step,
based on the frequency response and nonlinear effects. The main benefit of this
program is that the total number of integration steps can be reduced. If present in the
73
problem of non-linearity, the use of automatic step has additional advantages. You
can activate the automatic selection of the step team AUTOTS.
Although the obvious advantage of the automatic step selection for all types of
analysis, there may be situations in which you may not be benefits from the use of
automated steps.
Tasks having only a localized dynamic behavior (such as turbine blades and hub
assembly), where part of the system containing the low-frequency energy, the
high frequency area may prevail.
Problems with permanent-magnet (for example, seismic load), wherein the time
step has a tendency to change continuously, as excited by different frequencies.
Problems with kinematic excitation (as solid), where the contribution of the
oscillations as a rigid body can dominate.
7.3 Damping.
Damping present in most systems must be within the dynamic analysis. In
ANSYS are used five types of damping:
Alpha and beta damping (Rayleigh damping);
Damping, depending on the material properties;
Constant damping ratio;
Modal damping;
Damping elements.
When using ANSYS / Linear Plus is possible to use only a constant
damping ratio and modal damping. You can select more than one form of damping in
the model. The program will generate damping matrix [C], as the sum of the selected
forms of damping.
Table 7.1 lists the types of damping applicable to various kinds of
analysis.

calculation of the coefficients of the modes.

4. If converted to modal damping opening modes
5. Effective damping ratio is determined for spectral analysis.
Alpha and beta damping matrix is used to determine the damping Rayleigh.
Cushioning Matrix matrix is determined using mass and stiffness matrices:
C M K
Teams and ALPHAD BETAD used to determine and as decimal numbers.
Values and Usually not known in advance, but they can be determined from the
modal damping ratios i . i -The ratio of actual damping to the critical damping of
75
the i-th individual fashion. If i - Own the angular frequency of the i-mode, the
and must satisfy the relation:
i 2 i i 2
In many practical cases, alpha damping (or mass damping) can be ignored (=
0). In these cases, you can identify of known values i and i as
2 i i .
To determine the coefficients and at a given damping it is usually

assumed that the amount
and members of approximately constant in the
frequency range. (Fig. 7.2). Thus, for a given and the frequency range of 1 to 2 Coefficients and can be determined from the system of two equations.
Figure 7.2
Alpha damping may lead to erroneous results if a large mass was artificially
introduced into the model. One common example is when a large mass of artificially
introduced into the base model to be able to input range acceleration. (You can use a
large range of mass to convert accelerations range forces). Damping coefficient
alpha, which is multiplied by the mass matrix will produce artificially inflated
damping force in such systems, which leads to errors in the input spectrum and
determining the reaction system.
Beta damping and damping material may lead to distorted results in the
nonlinear analysis. These damping coefficients are multiplied by the stiffness matrix,
which is constantly changing in nonlinear problems. The resulting change in damping
can sometimes be the opposite to the actual change in damping, which may distort the
76
physical nature of the problem. For example, it is known from experience that in
physical systems, which are softened during the plastic deformation, respectively,
typically in the development of improved damping plastic flow. The model ANSYS,
having beta damping will decrease damping the development of plastic deformation.
Damping-dependent material properties allows you to define as beta damping
properties of the material [MP, DAMP]. It should be noted that the spectral analysis
is introduced into a damping ratio depending on the material properties Instead .
Another note that for items in which there are several materials, such as SOLID46,
SOLID65, SHELL91, SHELL99, can be determined for the entire element rather
than for each element in the material. In this case, determined from the material
properties of elements using the MAT.
Constant damping ratio - The easiest way to determine the damping system. It
represents the ratio of actual damping to the critical value and is entered as a decimal
fraction team DMPRAT. This is only possible in the spectral analysis, harmonic
analysis and the method of superposition of modes in transient analysis.
Modal damping gives you an opportunity to enter a different attitude damping
for different modes of vibration. This is only possible for the spectral analysis method
and the method of superposition of modes in transient analysis.
Damping elements introduced elements with viscous damping, such as
COMBIN7, COMBIN14, COMBIN37, COMBIN40 etc.
8. Spectral analysis.
Spectral analysis - a solution to the problem using the results of modal analysis
to calculate the displacements and stresses in the model. It is mainly used instead of
timing analysis to determine the response at random loads or loads, time-dependent,
such as an earthquake or wind loads, the load from the sea waves, the impact of a jet
engine, etc.
Spectrum is a graph of the spectral magnitude as a function of frequency,
which determines the intensity and spectral composition of the dynamic loads. There
are three types of spectral analysis:
77
Response spectrum;
-The only response spectrum (SPRS)
Multiple-response spectrum (MPRS)
The method of dynamic design (DDAM)
Method of power spectral density (PSD).
8.1 Types of spectral analysis.

8.1.1 Response Spectrum.
Range of reaction is the reaction systems with one degree of freedom to the
load, depending on the time. This reaction graph as a function of frequency, where
the reaction may be adopted displacement, velocity, acceleration or force. Two types
of spectral analysis of the reaction: the only response spectrum and multiple-type
reactions.
When analyzing single response spectrum you choose one spectral curve (or
family of curves) in several points of the model, for example in the support.
When analyzing Multiple response spectrum you choose different spectral
curves at various points.
8.1.2 Method of dynamic design.
The method of dynamic design - a technique used to evaluate the impact
resistance of marine equipment. Technology is essentially a spectral analysis of the
reaction, where the spectrum is obtained from a series of empirical equations and
shock design tables, obtained from the American National Research Laboratory.
Report NRL-1396.
8.1.3 Spectral density method.
Power spectral density - this statistic, for which the limit is defined as the rms
value of the random variable. It is used in random vibration analysis, in which the
instantaneous value of the reaction can only be determined by probability distribution
functions, showing the probability of finding a random variable in a certain range.
Graph of the spectral density function can be built in to the frequency of
displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. Mathematically, the area under the
curve equal to the variance (or mean square).
78
8.2 The procedure for solving the problem of spectral analysis.

1. Construction of the model
2. Getting modal solutions
3. Preparation spectral solutions
4. Expansion modes
5. Combination of modes
Modal solution must be obtained before the calculation of the spectrum,
mode shapes and frequencies are used in the spectral analysis. Producing
spectral solution before deployment modes, you can open only those modes
that are required for a final decision.
Construction of the model.
In this step, you define the name of the task, the task header, then using a
preprocessor define the element type, real constants, material properties and
geometry of the model.
Cover only the linear behavior in the spectral analysis. Nonlinear
elements (if they exist) are represented as linear. For example, if you turn the
contact elements and their rigidity are calculated initially, and is not changed.
Modulus of elasticity (or stiffness in some form) and the density (or
weight) must be carefully set. Material properties can be linear, isotropic or
orthotropic, or permanent depending on the temperature, but the nonlinear
properties are ignored.
Getting modal solutions.
Natural frequencies and mode shapes are required for obtaining a
spectral analysis.
Use the subspace block or reduced. Other methods are not suitable
for spectral analysis.
The number of received events should be sufficient to characterize
the response of the system in the required frequency range.
79
If you are using an interface method, choose NO to the dialog menu

disclosure modes [MODOPT], So that the modes do not unfold in
time but may be disclosed separately in the respective step solutions.
In this case you should choose YES for the disclosure of all modes.
If you are using damping depending on the properties of materials,
you must select it in the modal analysis.
Need to consolidate the power of freedom, where you want to attach
the base of the input spectrum.
Preparation spectral solutions.
File mode shapes (Jobname.MODE) of modal analysis should be obtained, and the
database should contain data of this model.

the spectrum span.
Damping (dynamic option).
If you have selected more than one form of damping, ANSYS will calculate
the effective damping ratio at each frequency. Spectral value of the effective
damping ratio is then calculated by interpolation on the spectral curve. If damping is

8.7 How to perform an analysis of random vibrations.
The analysis procedure consists of random fluctuations of the six basic steps:
90
2. Getting modal solutions;

3. Disclosure of events;
4. Getting spectral solutions;
5. Combining modes;
The first two steps - the same as that for the spectral analysis. Random
vibration analysis is not provided for the program ANSYS / Linear Plus.
When using the interface in the dialog box modal analysis [MODOPT]
Contains options for opening modes [MXPAND]. Press YES to disclose events.
Here the procedure for obtaining modal analysis and disclosure of events combined
in one step.
8.7.1 Disclosure modes.
You must reveal the modes obtained by subspace block method and reduced
method. It is necessary to take into account some special features:
Only disclosed fashion recorded in step combining modes;
If you are interested in the calculation of stresses arising from the action of
the spectrum, they need to "order" here.
Disclosure events may be a separate step solutions, or can be included in the
modal analysis.
At the end of step disclosure modes exit the "solution" command FINISH.
8.7.2.Poluchenie spectral solutions
For spectral solutions database should contain data model and the following
files from the modal analysis: Jobname. MODE,. ESAV,. EMAT,. FULL,. RST and
DB.
1. Log in solution.
2. Determine the type of analysis and options.

Type spectral density.
The spectral density can be defined as the displacement, velocity, force,
pressure, acceleration. It will be either base excitation, or excitation nodes in steps 4
and 5. If a spectral density in the form of pressure, the pressure must be defined in the
modal analysis.

How to parse multiple response spectrum.
The procedure to determine multiple response spectrum is the same as that for
random vibration with the following differences:
Select MPRS instead of as a type of PSD spectrum in the team [SPOPT];
Table spectral density versus frequency spectrum is represented as a table
of values as a function of frequency;
You can choose some degree of correlation between the spectra, or consider
them to be uncorrelated;
Determined only by the relative performance (relative to the base
excitation), the absolute values are not defined.
Supports all methods of combining modes except PSDCOM.
97
The analysis results are recorded plural spectral analysis file Jobname.
MCOM in the form of instructions postprocessor POST1. Provides
commands calculate the limiting reactions of the combination of maximum
modal responses. Limit reactions consist of limiting displacement limit
stresses, deformations and limit the forces of reaction.
Part 2. Fundamentals of the theory.

9. Modal Analysis
Modal analysis is used to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes
design. It is assumed that the free undamped oscillations occur:
[M]{u' '} [K]{u} {0}
(9.1)
Note that the stiffness matrix [K] May include the effect of pre-loading.
For a linear system free vibrations are harmonic:
{u} {}i cos i t

where
(9.2)
{}i eigenvector iTh waveform;

i iTh en circular frequency (radians per unit time);
t time.
Thus, the matrix equation (9.1) takes the following form:
(i2 [M] [K]){}i {0}
(9.3)
98
This equation has a solution, apart from the trivial {}i {0} only if the determinant
of the system (i2 [M] [K]) is zero, i.e.:
i2 [M] [K] 0
(9.4)
The last equation is the task of the eigenvalues. Solution of equation (4), if n - order
of the matrix is the characteristic polynomial nSecond order, which has n roots:
12 , 22 ... 2n Wherein n number of degrees of freedom. These roots are the
eigenvalues of the equation. Eigenvectors {}i Is obtained by substituting zeros

received i2 in equation (3). Eigenvalue i2 determine the natural frequency of the
system
i2 And eigenvector {}i corresponding waveform (moving system).
Values of natural circular frequency () and natural frequencies (f) are related
as follows:
fi
where
i
2
(9.5)
f i iTh natural frequency (cycles per unit time).
Usually eigenvector {}i called normalized if the following equation

(reflecting the orthogonality property forms of natural vibrations)
{}i [M ]{}i 1
(9.6)
that is
{} [M ]{} {I}
99
In another case, the eigenvector {}i normalized such that the largest of its
components is equal to one. Orthogonality condition waveforms can be explained as
the vanishing of the inertial forces iSecond waveform on the displacements kThe
second waveform.
When using the condensation frequency (reduction degree of freedom) n
eigenvectors can then be deployed on the stage of "extension" to the full set of
degrees of freedom modal design:
{s }i [K ss ]1[K sm ]{ }i
where
(9.7)
{ s }i - Vector excluded (subsidiary) degrees of freedom i-Th mode (auxiliary
degrees of freedom are those degrees of freedom which will condense

to reduce the dimensionality of the system);
[K ss ], [K sm ] - Submatrix stiffness auxiliary degrees of freedom and
communications subsidiary of degrees of freedom of the

retained respectively;
{ }i - Held vector (basic) degrees of freedom i-Th mode.
10. Superposition method MOU
Superposition method uses data about the modes of natural frequencies and
mode shapes obtained through modal analysis, to assess the dynamic response of
structures from non-stationary or stationary harmonic disturbances.
The equations of motion can be expressed in the following form:
[M]{u' '} [C]{u'} [K]{u} {F}
(10.1)
where [M] - mass matrix of the system;

[C] - damping matrix of the system;
[K] - stiffness matrix of the system;
100
{U''} - vector of nodal accelerations;

{U '} - vector of nodal velocities;
{U} - vector of nodal displacements;
{F} - vector of the applied forces, variables over time, which can be painted
as:
{F} = {Fnd} + s {Fs}
(10.2)
where {Fnd} - vector of time-varying nodal forces;

s - the scale factor load vector;
{Fs} - vector of loadings obtained by modal analysis (see below).
Load vector {Fs} is calculated in the analysis waveforms. It is formed in the

same way as the load vector substructure.
Next development like this in the book of Bath [2].
We define a set of modal coordinates yi such that

n
{u} {i }yi
(10.3)
i 1
where
{i } - Waveform i-Th mode;
n - number of used modes (entered via commands TRNOPT or HROPT).
Note that equation (10.3) preclude the use of a non-zero input displacement after yi
not determine directly, but through {u}. The inverse relationship exists (Eq. (3.10))
for the case where all the offsets are known, but not when only a few are known.
Substituting equation (10.3) to (10.1), we obtain:

Since j is any fashion, equation (10.21) is n independent equations in n

(response of the system to the load), using equation (10.3). That is, the individual
modal responses yi are superimposed on each other to get the actual response, hence
the name "the superposition of modes." If the modal analysis was performed using
the method of condensation (MODOPT, REDUC), The matrices and load vectors in
the above equations will contain the main (held) degrees of freedom (ie, {u}).

11. SPECTRAL ANALYSIS
Two types of spectral analysis: deterministic method and the spectral response
of a non-deterministic method of random fluctuations. Allowed excitation in the
supports (e.g., seismic action) and agitation at points remote from the supports. There
are four types of spectral analysis:
105
Univariate spectral analysis;
multivariate spectral analysis;
computational and experimental method of dynamic analysis;
method of power spectral density.
Univariate spectral analysis involves the use of one and the same spectral
curve (for example, changes in the force depending on time) for all the excited pixels.
Multivariate spectral analysis assumes the task in different points of excitation

spectral curves.
Computational and experimental method dynamic analysis is used to assess the

strength of the ship's equipment. The method consists in obtaining the system
response spectrum which is obtained based on empirical equations and tables based
on impact, presented in the report NRL-1369 Laboratory research Navy USA.
Method of power spectral density is a probabilistic approach to finding the

spectral response and is known as random vibration analysis.
11.1 Assumptions and Limitations
1. The design is linear.

2. For univariate spectral analysis and calculation and the experimental method of
dynamic analysis of the perturbation is given to the design spectrum with known
direction and frequency components influencing uniformly on all pivot points or
held by the specified (main) does not support the degree of freedom (when using
the frequency of condensation).
3. For multivariate spectral and power spectral density analyzes, the design may
resent different input spectra with their application to different reference points
106
and the reference (free from bonds) nodes. You can define up to ten different input
spectra.
11.2 Description of the analysis
Spectral analysis is possible when choosing the type of analysis (ANTYPE,

SPECTR) and if the pre-modal analysis was performed. If necessary association
modes, the desired mode can be obtained by "extending" (recover), as described in
section 17.3 (when using frequency-condensation method).
Supports four options - univariate spectral analysis (SPOPT, SPRS),
computational and experimental method for dynamic analysis (SPOPT, DDAM), the
method of power spectral density (SPOPT, PSD) and multivariate spectral analysis
(SPOPT, MPRS). Each option is described in detail hereinafter.
11.3 Univariate spectral analysis (SPOPT, SPRS)

seismic) and in areas remote from the supports (power outrage). All the required data,

12. ANALYSIS OF RANDOM VIBRATIONS
The method allows applying multiple perturbations in the form of power

spectral density (PSD) to the inputs of the system (up to ten), which can be:
1. Fully correlated,
2. Uncorrelated, or
3. Partially correlated.
The procedure is based on statistical calculations of each modal response, and

then combining them (summation or combination). It is assumed that the excitation stationary random processes.
12.1 Description of the method
For partially correlated force and kinematic perturbations full equation of

dynamic behavior of structures are divided into two parts for the unknown
displacements and given respectively:
M u C
M u C
M ff
M
rf
fr
ff
rr
rf
K u F
K u 0 (12.1)
C fr u f K ff

C rr u r K rf

rr
113
where {uf} - vector of unknown displacement (from power disturbances);

{Ur} - vector set of displacements (excited by random load is given by a single
movement);
{F} - set the force perturbation (force value can be different from unity, taking
into account the scale of the coefficients of the deposit);
{0} - reaction force vector corresponding to the vector specified displacements
{ur}.
Unknown displacement can be subdivided into pseudo-static and dynamic
parts:
(12.2)
Pseudo-static displacement can be obtained from equation (12.1) except for the
first two terms in the left side of the equation and replacing the vector of unknown
displacements {uf} a vector of pseudo-static components of {us}
(12.3)
where
[ A ] [K ff ]1[K fr ] .
Elements in i-Th column [A] Are pseudo-static displacement from single

predetermined movements excited iTh a power spectral density (PSD). Substitute
equation (12.3) and (12.2) into (12.1) and add a slight damping. The first row of the
matrix equation (12.1) can then be rewritten as follows:
(12.4)
The second term on the right side of the above equation is equivalent to the
forces due to kinematic perturbations.
114
When using the method of superposition of modes of equation (10.3) can be written
again as:
(12.5)
The above equation unrelated to each other and can be written as n separate
equations:
(12.6)
where
n - The number of waveforms selected for evaluation;

yj - generalized displacements;
j and j
115
Transfer functions for the type of system with one degree of freedom takes
different forms depending on the type of input PSD and the desired type of
response. Forms of transfer functions to move as output listed below for different
occasions.
1. At the entrance - force or acceleration:
(12.13)
2. At the entrance - move
(12.14)
116
3. At the entrance - speed
(12.15)
where - The frequency of the excitation

j - Own circular frequency j-th mode
i = -1 - The imaginary unit.
Thus, the analysis of random fluctuations can be used to show the absolute rms
response unknown displacements:
(12.16)
where | | Re - denotes the real part of the argument;
2Si - Dispersion iTh pseudo-static displacement;
Cv (u Si , u di ) - Covariance between static and dynamic
movements
General formulation described above provides simplified equations for some

situations that usually encountered in practice. To fully correlated power disturbances
and given identical displacements Subscripts l and m would exclude from the
equation (12.10) to (12.12). When there is only power disturbances last two terms in
equation (12.16) does not apply, and only the first term within the large parentheses
in equation (12.10) must be taken into account. For uncorrelated power and kinematic
perturbations, mutual PSDs (i.e. when l m) Are zero, and only the terms for which l
= m in equations (12.10) through (12.12) must be taken into account.
Equations (12.10) to (12.12) can be rewritten as:
117
S d i ( ) ij jk R jk ( )
(12.17)
j 1 k 1
S si ( ) Ail Aim Rlm ( )
(12.18)
l 1 m 1
S sd i ( ) ij Ail Rij ( )
(12.19)
j 1 l 1
where R jk ( ), Rlm ( ), R jl ( ) - Modal PSD members who are inside the large
parentheses equations (12.10) to (12.12)
Solution in closed form is obtained for the piecewise linear PSD (PSD) in a
logarithmic scale on both axes, is used to calculate each of the integral in equation
(12.16) (Chen and Ali (193), and Harichandran (194)). Subsequently, the dispersion
becomes:

(12.22)
Modal covariance matrix
Q jk , Qlm and Q~ jl
identified. PSD file. Note that
equation (12.20) to (12.22) are the union of events for analysis of random vibrations.
Dispersion for voltages nodal forces or reactions may be calculated from
equations similar to (12.20) to (12.22). If it is desirable to obtain a dispersion of
voltage waveforms replace (ij) And static displacement ( Ai Ai ) Modal voltages
( ij ) And static voltages ( Ai ). Likewise, if a node is desired dispersion force
waveform and replacing static displacement modal nodal forces ( ij ) And static
118
nodal forces ( A i ). Finally, if desirable the dispersion reaction waveforms replace

static modal displacement reactions (ij) And static reactions ( Ai ). Furthermore, the
dispersion of the first and second derivatives with respect to time all the variables
mentioned above may be calculated using the following relations:
(12.23)
S u ( ) 4 S u ( )
12.3 Not diagonal spectral terms for partially correlated input power
spectral density
For perturbations defined by more than one function of the power spectral
density (PSD), the cross terms that define the degree of correlation between the
different functions of the MTA is defined as:
S11 ( )
C12 ( ) iQ12 ( ) C13 ( ) iQ13 ( )
S ( ) C12 ( ) i Q12 ( )
S 22 ( )
C 23 ( ) i Q23 ( ) (12.25)
C13 ( ) i Q13 ( ) C 23 ( ) i Q23 ( )
S 33 ( )
where S nn ( ) -PSD spectra of the input that have relationships with each other;
C nm ( ) - Mutual spectral density, which constitute the real part of the cross-
members; Qnm ( ) - Components of the spectra, which represent the imaginary part of
the cross-members.
Mutual power spectral density function (PSD) is the coherence function:
2
nm
( )
where
Cnm ( ) i Qnm ( )
S nn ( ) S mm ( )
(12.26)
2
0 nm
( ) 1 .
Although the above example shows the cross-correlation of the input spectra
for 3, this matrix can range in size from 2 x 2 to 10 x 10 (I.e., the maximum number
of tables - 10).
119
For the special case in which all the cross terms are zero, the input spectra are
believed to uncorrelated. Note that the correlation between power and kinematic
perturbations are not allowed.
12.4 Correlation space
The degree of correlation between the excited nodes can be specified.

Depending on the distance between the excited nodes and values RMIN and RMAX,
the impact of the power spectral density can be set so that the excitation of the nodes
can be uncorrelated, partially correlated or fully correlated. If the distance between
the nodes of the excited - less than RMIN, these two nodes are correlated completely;
if the distance is greater than RMAX, then these two uncorrelated Node; if the
distance is between RMIN and RMAX, partially correlated excitation and based on
the actual distance between nodes. The figure below specifies how RMIN, RMAX
and correlation.
For two excited points 1 and 2, the power spectral density would be:

Allowed more than one simultaneous wave or spatially correlated input power
spectral densities when the operation input [S ()] Reflects the influence of two or
more uncorrelated input spectra. In this case, a partial correlation of the inputs of
predetermined power spectral density currently not permitted.
121
12.6 Method of multivariate spectral analysis (SPOPT, PSD)
Analysis of the spectral response supports multifactor kinematic and power

disturbance, allowing up to 10 different spectral tables that may be unrelated
(uncorrelated) among themselves.
Many components to perform multivariate analysis of the spectral response of
the system is discussed in the previous sections devoted to the method of random
vibration. Assuming that the contribution of the coefficients j can be calculated
(e.g., from equation (12.8)), the coefficients for the modal lThe second table are as:

(CQC), the double sum (DSUM) , group (GRP) or summation method (DDAM)

spectral analysis.
