本研究基於阻抗耦合法提出改良式無限元素法(Modified infinite element method, M-IEM)以改善無限元素法於動態問題中的運算準確性。其中,改良式無限元素法的元素網格模式仍與無限元素法相同,但是以阻抗耦合法代替古揚簡化法應用於無限元素法之多層結構耦合,其將能夠毫無近似地合成完整系統之響應。論文中以含有裂縫之結構的動態響應為例,來驗證方法可行性與計算準確性;而結果顯示改良式無限元素法除計算效率比有限元素法更加優越之外,其運算求得的數值結果亦比傳統的無限元素法更加準確。最後,將應用改良式無限元素法於含有奇異點之平板的動態問題,計算具中心開口裂縫之雙材料平板結構的動態響應。
A modified infinite element method (M-IEM) based on the receptance method is proposed to improve the accuracy of the infinite element method (IEM) applied to dynamic problems. The proposed M-IEM uses the same element meshing technique as IEM but uses the receptance method to assemble the infinite elements without any approximation. To demonstrate the methodology and evaluate its performance, the dynamic characteristics of structures with cracks are investigated. Results show that the proposed M-IEM not only requires less computation time than FEM, but also provides a more accurate numerical result than that of traditional IEM. Applications of the proposed M-IEM in the dynamic analysis of the cracked structures made by bi-material are also demonstrated.
