The Gaul resonator consists of two massive parts, connected by the single lap joint, one of which is designed to have an elastic element in the foundation of the connection interface.
 
The resonator is designed to have a relatively low natural frequency, which corresponds to the joint's tangential movement. By exciting the resonator around an axial resonant frequency, high tangential loads are achieved.  


The resonator is designed in a way, that has a relatively low natural frequency, corresponds to the tangential movement in the joint. It allows achieving quite heavy dynamic tangential loadings by exciting the system around an axial resonance frequency.

The main feature of this benchmark is that it allows for measuring damping in just the interface without the influence of bolts. The benchmark system was designed so that to have nil bending moment over non-zero length. Also, the system was designed to avoid the coupling of the first two modes.

Revision as of 14:48, 27 September 2021

One of the committee's primary aims is to promote the development and improvement of measurement techniques and model jointed structures' behavior. The behaviors are often nonlinear due to the intrinsicality of the structures. The benchmark systems aim to help researchers test their developed techniques to measure and predict the behaviors of reference systems. The benchmark system must have the following qualities:

  • Well-controlled and understood boundary conditions to avoid uncertainties during experiment and modeling;
  • Simple experimental setup to be easily repeatable and commonly used;
  • Simple to build.

Several benchmarks, including variations, are described in this section.

The Gaul Resonator

Description

The Gaul resonator consists of two massive parts, connected by the single lap joint, one of which is designed to have an elastic element in the foundation of the connection interface.

The resonator is designed to have a relatively low natural frequency, which corresponds to the joint's tangential movement. By exciting the resonator around an axial resonant frequency, high tangential loads are achieved.

Experimental setup with Gaul Resonator from original work

The original resonator was developed by professor L. Gaul's research group and was made from round steel stock. This resonator is investigated by Gaul and Bohlen [1], Gaul et al. [2], Lenz and Gaul [3], and Gaul and Lenz [4].

Round resonator's 3D model

Variations

There are two similar systems developed at the University of Erlangen–Nürnberg. The first one is similar to the original resonator. The second one is an improved version made of flat stock material. These variations allow sensors to be more easily attached, mechanical post-processing/rejuvenating the contact interface, and accessibility to the surface for microscopic measurements. The detailed investigation of these systems given by Süß and Willner[5][6], and Armand et al.[7].

Another benchmark variation is the dumbbell oscillator investigated by Segelman[8]. This oscillator consists of two rigid steel cylindrical parts, representing two masses connected by a lap joint.

Main features

The main features of the Gaul Resonator are:

  • Insensibility to the way/place sensors are attached and load is applied
  • Better controllability of the boundary conditions
  • Ability to store a large amount of energy for extensive ring-down testing
  • Can be accurately simulated with a low-order model, which provides high performance of simulations

Reasonable benchmark usage

Despite being very academic structures, these systems are ideal benchmarks for measuring a bolted lap joints transfer behavior and allows the measurement of hysteresis, which creates a bridge between the two round-robin challenges.

The Cut Beam Benchmark

Description

Scheme of the experimental setup used in Dion, Chevallier, and Peyret.

The beam contains three parts linked by two planar joints. Planar joints are assembled by applying normal force via a screw clamp, and the system is clamped to the ground by bolted joints. The benchmark system is assembled such that the normal preload and friction keep the system assembled.

The benchmark allows the measurement of damping induced by partial slip and friction in a planar joint.

This benchmark was developed and investigated by Jean-Luc Dion, Gael Chevallier, and Nicolas Peyret. The design of this benchmark is based on and justified in Peyret et al. [9][10]. Peyret, Dion and Chevallier[11] and Dion, Chevallier, and Peyret[12] present the experiments and results on this structure.

Cut beam's 3D model

Variations

Currently, there are no known variations of this benchmark.

Main features

The main feature of this benchmark is that it allows for measuring damping in just the interface without the influence of bolts. The benchmark system was designed so that to have nil bending moment over non-zero length. Also, the system was designed to avoid the coupling of the first two modes. Due to these designs, these structures require an accurate method of measurement of nonlinear damping. The original article used the stopped-sine excitation to obtain a single frequency response and study nonlinear modes with frequency and natural magnitude modulations without other mode couplings.

The S4-Beam Beams

Description

This test benchmark was developed in group lead by Professor Matthew S. Allen.

The S4-beam benchmark consists of two stainless steel C-shaped beams. In Singh et al.[13], the benchmark is first introduced with two variations. One variation has a convex interface with a center to edge drop of 0.005" to 0.008" and one variation with a flat interface. These variations allow the investigation of four different contacts: curved-curved, curved-flat, flat-flat, and curved-curved with washers. All contact surfaces were polished to a minimum surface finish of Ra = 8.

S4-beam was designed to have simpler interfaces, than BRB, but still allows investigating the joints influence on the nonlinear stiffness and damping. Consisted of two C-shaped beams, S4-beam is designed to model the nonlinear effects of joint bending and shearing in bolted structures.

Cut beam's 3D model

Variations

Variants of this test benchmark are used to investigate:

  1. Different types of contact geometry
  2. Different types of beams materials
  3. Different types of the excitation
  4. Different types of contact surface machining
  5. Different contact pressure

In the original work of Singh et al.[13] two pairs of beams were made to investigate different types of contact geometry: one pair with convex interface with a center to edge drop of 0.005 '' to 0.008 '', and one pair with the flat interface. Further, Wall, Allen, and Kuether[14] modified the beams to have fillets on the edge of the contact interface, and other nominal geometries were investigated. Brink et al.[15] investigated the nominally flat surface variation of this structure.

Also, several works used this benchmark system for computational purposes, such as Wall, Allen, and Zare[16], Jewell et al.[17], Witteveen and Koller[18].

Main features

The main features of this test benchmark, which distinguish it from others:

  1. It provides a simple contact interface with only one bolt on each contact area;
  2. It provides several types of nonlinearity;
  3. It has two close fundamental modes, which lead to modal coupling during vibrations.
