10.7.2 Spherical shell example
The shell, ^{(8)} shown in Fig. 10.3, is subjected to a distributed step pressure of 600 lb/in ^{2} . The material is assumed to obey the Von Mises yield condition with linear isotropic hardening. The dimensions and properties of the shell are given as follows:
| Internal radius | $R = 22.27 \text{ in}$ |
| Thickness of shell | $t = 0.41 \text{ in}$ |
| Semi angle | $\alpha = 26.67^{\circ}$ |
| Elastic modulus | $E = 10.5 \times 10^{6} \text{ lb/in}^{2}$ |
| Poisson's ratio | $\nu = 0.3$ |
| Yield stress | $\sigma_{Y} = 0.024 \times 10^{6} \text{ lb/in}^{2}$ |
| Tangent hardening modulus | $E_{T} = 0.21 \times 10^{6} \text{ lb/}^{2}$ |

Fig. 10.3 Spherical shell and finite element mesh.
The shell is divided into ten, 8-noded, axisymmetric, isoparametric elements. The fundamental period of the shell is T_{f} = 0.55 \times 10^{-3} sec, (Reference 8). For explicit central difference analysis, the time step is taken as 0.4 \times 10^{-6} sec.
In order to illustrate the versatility of program DYNPAK we consider the following three cases:
(i) Small elastic displacements
(ii) Large elastic displacements
(iii) Small elasto-viscoplastic displacements (with a fluidity parameter value of \gamma = 100.0 ).

Fig. 10.4(a) Results of the transient dynamic analysis of a spherical shell cap. Cases (i) and (ii).
Figure 10.4(a) shows the vertical displacement of the crown lower point for the analyses based on both small and large elastic displacement assumptions. The results show that the inclusion of geometrically nonlinear effects in the analysis elongates the period. Figure 10.4(b) shows the small displacement, elasto-viscoplastic response (Case (iii)) of the spherical shell cap in which the value of the fluidity parameter is taken as \gamma = 100.0 . It should be noted that permanent viscoplastic deflections occur thus providing a completely different response to either of the elastic responses shown in Fig. 10.4(a).
In Chapter 11 this problem is repeated using an elasto-plastic material model. It should be noted that in order to simulate elasto-plastic behaviour with DYNPAK a high value of the fluidity parameter (say \gamma = 10000.0 )

should be adopted. Interested readers may like to compare DYNPAK and MIXDYN for elasto-plastic behaviour using a high fluidity parameter. However, care should be taken since the use of high fluidity parameter values requires the use of a smaller time step when an Euler scheme is used to evaluate the viscoplastic strains (see Section 8.3). Typical input data for Case (ii) are given in Appendix IV.
At this stage it is probably worth mentioning the important problem of combining material and geometric nonlinearities. Among the several papers on this topic in the existing literature we suggest that the interested reader could profitably refer to the following as a starting point for further study:

Fig. 10.5(b) Finite element mesh for concrete gravity dam.
Both the gravity dam and the foundation shown in Fig. 10.5(a) are idealized with two-dimensional, plane-strain, 8-noded isoparametric elements as shown in Fig. 10.5(b), using a 2 \times 2 Gauss integration rule for the stiffness evaluation, and using a special mass lumping scheme with a 3 \times 3 Gauss integration rule. The adopted 2 \times 2 Gauss integration rule for the stiffness terms ensures that no locking behaviour will occur in the mesh, whereas the 3 \times 3 Gauss integration rule for the lumped mass matrix terms renders better mass representation. The model base is assumed to be fixed, i.e. u = v = 0, and side boundaries are represented by horizontal rollers, i.e. v = 0.
A short duration analytic earthquake (sinesweep) ^{(9)} with a maximum acceleration level 0.33 g (developed as an equivalent to the El Centro NS accelerogram) will be used as a prescribed horizontal acceleration history at the model base level. It is assumed that this signal is the result of the deconvolution process of a prescribed signal at the foundation level. The displacements obtained in the solution process are relative to the model base.
Both the concrete and rock are assumed to behave as elasto-viscoplastic materials with no hardening. The Mohr–Coulomb yield surface is adopted, and the parameters c and \phi are obtained from the uniaxial properties f_{cu} and f_{t} as indicated in Table 10.3.
f_{t}, f_{cu} = \text{tensile, compressive strengths of concrete,}
\alpha = \frac {f _ {t}}{f _ {c u}} = \frac {1 - \sin \phi}{1 + \sin \phi},
\phi = \operatorname{arc} \sin \left(\frac {1 - a}{1 + a}\right),
c = \frac {(a) ^ {- 1 / 2}}{2} f _ {c u},
F _ {0} (\text { Mohr - Coulomb }) = c \cos \phi .

Table 10.3 Mohr–Coulomb yield surface parameters for concrete dam example.
The values of the fluidity parameters $\gamma$ are considered to be the same for both the concrete and rock materials. Values of $\gamma = 0.00001$ and $\gamma = 0.001$ have been used for the two analyses presented. The stress level in the structure prior to the seismic excitation is assumed to be due to the self-weight and hydrostatic pressure of the water only.
<!-- source-page: 436 -->
The influence of the reservoir water on the dynamic behaviour of the dam is considered by taking into account the mass of water attached to the upstream face of the dam. The simple representation of 'added mass' with concentrated masses is used. The adopted model could be improved significantly with transmitting boundaries, better 'added mass' representation, a more realistic signal and a finer mesh.
The choice of the time step length depends on two criteria. For the explicit central difference integration scheme of the dynamic equilibrium equations, the highest mesh frequency defines the critical time step length
\Delta t _ {C D} = \frac {2}{\omega_ {\max}} \simeq \mu L \left(\frac {\rho (1 + \nu) (1 - 2 \nu)}{E (1 - \nu)}\right) ^ {1 / 2}. \tag {10.51}
For the integration of the equations, which govern viscoplastic straining using the Euler method, the critical time step for the Mohr-Coulomb viscoplastic material is defined as
\Delta t _ {M C} = \frac {4 (1 + \nu) (1 - 2 \nu) c \cos \phi}{\gamma (1 - 2 \nu + \sin^ {2} \phi)}. \tag {10.52}
For the mathematical model under consideration, $(L = 2.4665 \, \text{m})$ , the choice of the time step is governed by the $\Delta t_{CD}$ criterion for both analyses. Note that since
\Delta t _ {C D} = 0. 0 0 0 4 7 8 \mathrm{sec} \tag {10.53}
the adopted time step length is $\Delta t = 0.0004$ sec.
On the basis of the adopted mathematical model, (Fig. 10.5), input data can be prepared following the user notes, given in the Appendix III.

Prior to the dynamic analysis, the initial stresses $\sigma_{0}$ must be evaluated using some static finite element program. Nodal loads and the stress state for every Gauss integration point are recorded, and added to the input data for the dynamic analysis. The sinesweep accelerogram and 300 readings for $\Delta t = 0.01$ sec are given in Fig. 10.6. The accelerogram information is read in from a separate input unit (here tape 7, the assumed seismic excitation in the horizontal direction).
The displacement histories for selected nodal points and stress histories for selected Gauss integration points are written on separate output units (tape 10, tape 11) and may be used later for plotting the results. The displacement histories for nodal points 51 (structure base level) and 127 (dam crest) are given in Fig. 10.7.

10.1 A simply supported beam is subjected to a step uniformly distributed load. The dimensions and material properties of the beam are shown in Fig. 10.8(a). Only one quarter of the beam needs to be analysed as shown in Fig. 10.8(b). Use DYNPAK to find the midspan lateral deflection when the step lateral load is 0.75 $p_{0}$ where $p_{0}$ is the static collapse load. Note that this problem has been solved by Liu and Lin $^{(10)}$ , Bathe et al. $^{(11)}$ and Nagarajan and Popov. $^{(12)}$ Use the Von Mises yield criterion, a high value of the fluidity parameter $\gamma$ and 8-node elements.
