1 Derivation of stiffness and flexibility for rods and beams by using dual integral equations Advisor:Jeng-zong Chen Undergraduate Student:Cheng-Chan Hsieh Department of Harbor and River Engineering, National aiwan Ocean University Keywords: Dual boundary integral equations, Stiffness, Flexibility, Rigid body mode, Singular value decomposition, aplace problem Abstract In this paper, the dual boundary integral formulation is used to determine the stiffness and flexibility for rods and beams by using the direct and indirect methods. he stiffness and flexibility matrices derived by the dual boundary integral equations (DBIEs) are compared well with those derived by the direct stiffness and flexibility methods after considering the sign convention. Since any two boundary integral equations can be chosen for the beam problem, six options by choosing two from the four equations in dual formulation can be considered. It is found that only two options, either displacement-slope (single-layer and double-layer) or displacement-moment (single-layer and triple-layer) formulations in the direct (indirect) method can yield the stiffness matrix except the degenerate scale and a special fundamental solution. he rank deficiency is examined for the influence matrices. Not only rigid body mode in physics but also spurious mode in numerical implementation are found in the formulation by using SVD updating term and document, respectively. Introduction Concept of stiffness and flexibility in mechanics of material is well-known for undergraduate students []. For graduate students, they revisited the stiffness and flexibility matrices in the finite element course []. Rigid body modes occur for free-free bodies in physics as well as spurious modes appear for degenerate scales in numerical implementation []. Felippa et al. constructed the free-free flexibility matrices by using the generalized stiffness inverse through the concept of finite element method []. Besides, Dumont also studied the stiffness by using generalized inverse matrices through variational boundary element formulation [5]. A note to construct the relationship of the stiffness matrice between the finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM) was published by Pozritidis in 6 [6]. A unified formulation to derive the stiffness and flexibility is not trivial and is the main concern of the present paper. Applications of direct and indirect BEMs to solve rod and beam problems were reported in the textbook of Banerjee [7]. However, only conventional BEM instead of dual BEM was used in the direct method. Besides, only single-layerand double-layer potentials were adopted instead of higher order layer potentials in the indirect method. Here, we will complete the possible alternatives to solve rod and beam problems. DBIEs were developed by Hong and Chen [8] for -D and -D elasticity problems. his formulation can be employed to formulate the one-dimensional problem of rod and beam. Since DBIEs provide more equations than the conventional one, we may wonder the role of additional equations in mathematical aspects. Regarding to the role of dual formulation in computational mechanics, readers can consult with the review article [9]. In the recent years, SVD technique has been applied to solve problems of continumn mechanics [], fictitious-frequency problems [], and spurious eigenvalues []. Based on these

2 successful experiences, SVD updating technique will be employed to study the mathematical structure of the influence matrices derived by using dual formulation. In this report, rank deficiency for the influence matrices is also our concern. he rigid body mode and spurious mode in the dual formulation will be examined through SVD technique. he relation between zero singular values of updating matrices (updating terms and updating document) and nontrivial modes (rigid body mode and spurious mode) will be constructed. Both the rod and beam structures are considered as illustrative examples. Dual boundary integral formulation for rod problems et us consider the rod problem as shown in Fig.. he governing equation for a rod is u () u ( ) EAu () EAu ( ) Fig. Generalized displacement and force dux ( ), x D, () dx where ux ( ) is the axial displacement of the rod, D is the domain between of < x<. By introducing one auxiliary system of the fundamental solution, we have U( x, s) δ( x s) x, < x <, () where δ is Dirac-delta function, x is the field point, and s is the source point. For simplicity, the fundamental solution is selected as U( x, s) x s, () and can be expressed in terms of degenerate kernel as shown in able.by multiplying the auxiliary system in Eq. () with respect to the governing equation and integrating by parts, we have the boundary integral equation as [ ] us () uxu () (,) xs u() xu(,) xs.

We utilize the SVD technique to calculate [ A] and try to get the flexibility matrix of the rod.

6 Discussion of the rigid body mode and spurious mode If the rigid body term, c, and the linear term, ax, are superimposed in the fundamental solution, we have Ur ( x, s) U( x, s) + ax+ c. By substituting the auxiliary system U( x, s ) into Eq. (), and setting EA,, we have + a a c ac u() u (). u() u () + a a + c ac (5) he [ B ] matrix for a rod is singular when (+ a) c. his results in the degenerate scale problem. According to the Fredholm alternative theorem, the degenerate scale depends on the rigid body term. When a and c /, [ B ] matrix is not invertible and results in a degenerate scale. By employing the SVD technique with respect to the influence B matrices. he spurious matrix, for [ ] mode [ ] satisfies A and [ ] A B [ ] where the spurious mode [ ] mode [ ψ ] are shown in able 7., (5) and the rigid body If the rigid body term, c, and the linear, quadratic and cubic terms, ax, bx and dx are superimposed in the fundamental solution, we have U (, ) (, ) b x s U x s + ax + bx + dx + c. By substituting the auxiliary system Ub ( x, s ) into Eqs.

(56) he spurious mode [ ] and the rigid body mode [ ψ ] are shown in able 7. he mathematical framework of [ A ] and [ B ] is shown in Fig Conclusions Dual boundary integral equations were employed to derive the stiffness and flexibility of the rod and beam which match well with those of FEM. Not only the direct method but also the indirect method was used. It is found that displacement-slope ( u θ ) and displacement-moment ( u m) formulations in the direct method can construct the stiffness matrix. Similarly, the single-double layer approach (U Θ) and single-triple layer approach (U M ) work for the constructing of stiffness matrix in the indirect method. For choosing a special fundamental solution, the stiffness matrix can not be obtained for the degenerate scale. Rigid body mode and spurious mode were studied by using the SVD updating term and document technique. It is found that rigid body mode and spurious mode are imbedded in the right and left unitary vectors of the influence matrices through SVD. 6 References [] Gere, J.
