1 Introduction

Numerical simulation of thin solids remains one of thechallenges in computational mechanics +e advent of sto-chastic finite element methods has led to new possibilities insimulations where it is possible to replace isotropy assump-tions with statistical models of material parameters or in-corporate manufacturing imperfections with parametrizedcomputational domains and derive statistical quantities ofinterest such as expectation and variance of the solution Herewe discuss two special classes of such uncertainty quantifi-cation problems free vibration of shells of revolution anddirectly related frequency response analysis What makes thespecific shell configurations interesting from the applicationpoint of view is that they include junctions and shell-solidcouplings Free vibrations of cylinder-cone configurations havebeen studied by many authors before [1ndash4] +ere also existsan exhaustive literature review on shells with junctions [5]

In vibration problems the sources of uncertainty relate tomaterials and geometry In this paper the stochastic vibrationproblems are solved using a nonintrusive approach thestochastic collocation [6] Collocation methods are particu-larly appealing in problems with parameterized (random)domains +e standard approach is to solve the problem atspecified quadrature points and interpolate over the points If

the number of random variables is high this leads to the curseof dimensionality which can be alleviated up to a point withspecial high-dimensional quadratures the so-called sparsegrids [7ndash10] If the uncertainty is only in the material pa-rameters one can apply the intrusive approach such as sto-chastic Galerkin methods see [11] and references therein

Sparse grids are designed to satisfy given requirementsfor quadrature rules It is however possible to constructsimilar interpolation operators even if the point set is limitedto some subset of the parameter space (partial sparse grids)or crucially points are added to the sparse grid In bothcases the construction is the same [12] Every point ina sparse grid corresponds to some realization of the randomfield If some real measurements become available and thedata can be identified as points in the parameter space theycan be incorporated into the interpolation operator

+e two model problems studied here are a wind turbinetower resonance problem and the free vibration of a classicallong cylinder-cone junction combined with T-junction viakinematic constraints +e wind turbine tower problem isinspired by an earlier study [13] where the tower is modeledas a solid due to solver limitations+e long cylinder case is inturn inspired by a photograph of a collapsed pipe ([14] p 82)

We have studied related stochastic shell eigenproblemsin the previous work [15] but only for cylinders with

constant thickness In this study in all cases one of therandom parameters is geometric which changes the char-acter of the computational problems considerably Howeverthe underlying theoretical properties remain the same Oneof the characteristic features of multiparametric eigenvalueproblems is that the order of eigenpairs in the spectrummayvary over the parameter space a phenomenon referred to ascrossing of the modes

In this paper we show how the existing methods can beapplied to shell problems that have characteristics that differfrom those covered in the literature until nowWe do observecrossing of the modes in the wind turbine tower problemwhich is satisfying since it highlights the fact that this featureis not an artificial mathematical concept but something that ispresent in standard engineering problems +e stochasticframework for eigenproblems is applied to frequency re-sponse analysis in a straightforward manner yet the resultingmethod is new We also demonstrate in connection withfrequency response analysis that interpolation operatorsbased on partial sparse grids can provide useful information

All simulations have been computed using p-version ofthe finite element method [16] +e results derived usingcollocation on sparse grids have been verified using theMonte Carlo method

+e rest of this paper is organized as follows In Section 2the two shell models used in this paper are introduced inSection 3 the stochastic variant is given with the solutionalgorithms Section 35 covers the multivariate interpolationconstruction the frequency response analysis is briefly out-lined in Section 4 the numerical experiments are covered indetail in Section 5 finally conclusions are drawn in Section 6

2 Shell Eigenproblem

Assuming a time harmonic displacement field the free vi-bration problem for a general shell leads to the followingabstract eigenvalue problem find u isin R3 and ω2 isin R suchthat

Su ω2Mu

+ boundary conditions1113896 (1)

where u u v w represents the shell displacement fieldwhile ω2 represents the square of the eigenfrequency In theabstract setting S and M are differential operators repre-senting deformation energy and inertia respectively In thediscrete setting they refer to corresponding stiffness andmass matrices

Simulation of thin solids using standard finite elements isdifficult since one (small thickness) dimension dominates thediscretization In the following we shall derive two variants ofproblem (1) by employing different dimension reductions forshells of revolution Instead of working in 3D the elasticityequations are dimensionally reduced either in thickness or inthe case of axisymmetric domains using a suitable ansatz

21 Shell Geometry In the following we let a profilefunction y f(x) revolve about the x-axis Naturally theprofile function defines the local radius of the shell Shells of

revolution can formally be characterized as domains inR3 oftype

Ω x + η(x)n(x)|x isin Dminusd0(x)lt η(x) ltd1(x)1113864 1113865 (2)

where D is a (mid)surface of revolution n(x) is the unitnormal to D and d(x) d1(x) + d0(x) is the thickness ofthe shell measured in the direction of the normal An il-lustration of such a configuration is given in Figure 1

211 Constant (Dimensionless) ickness Let us haved(x) d (constant) and define principal curvature co-ordinates where only four parameters the radii of principalcurvature R1 R2 and the so-called Lame parameters A1 A2which relate coordinates changes to arc lengths are neededto specify the curvature and the metric on D +e dis-placement vector field of the midsurface u u v w can beinterpreted as projections to directions

In the following we shall keep the general form of theparameters in the equations

2 Shock and Vibration

We can now define the dimensionless thickness t ast dR where RsimR2 is the unit length In the following weassume that Rsim1 and thus use the two thickness conceptsdenoted by d and t interchangeably

22 Reduction in ickness +e free vibration problem fora general shell (1) in the case of shell of revolution withconstant thickness t leads to the following eigenvalueproblem find u(t) and ω2(t) isin R such that

tAmu(t) + tAsu(t) + t3Abu(t) ω2(t)M(t)u(t)

+ boundary conditions1113896 (8)

where u(t) represents the shell displacement field whileω2(t) represents the square of the eigenfrequency +edifferential operators Am As and Ab account for mem-brane shear and bending potential energies respectivelyand are independent of t Finally M(t) is the inertia op-erator which in this case can be split into the sumM(t) tMl + t3Mr with Ml (displacements) and Mr

(rotations) independent of t Many well-known shell modelsfall into this framework

Let us next consider the variational formulation ofproblem (8) Accordingly we introduce the space V ofadmissible displacements and consider the problem find(u(t)ω2(t)) isin V times R such that

tam(u(t) v) + tas(u(t) v) + t3ab(u(t) v)

ω2(t)m(t u(t) v) forallv isin V

(9)

where am(middot middot) as(middot middot) ab(middot middot) and m(t middot middot) are the bilinearforms associated with the operators Am As Ab and M(t)respectively Obviously the space V and the three bilinearforms depend on the chosen shell model [17]

221 Two-Dimensional Model Our two-dimensional shellmodel is the so-called ReissnerndashNaghdi model [17]where the transverse deflections are approximated withlow-order polynomials +e resulting vector field has

five components u (u v w θψ) where the first three arethe standard displacements and the latter two are therotations in the axial and angular directions respectivelyHere we adopt the convention that the computationaldomain 1113954Ωt sub R2 is given by the surface parametriza-tion and the axialangular coordinates are denoted by xand y

Deformation energy A(uu) is divided into bendingmembrane and shear energies denoted by subscripts B Mand S respectively

A(uu) t2AB(u u) + AM(u u) + AS(u u) (11)

Notice that we can safely cancel out one power of tBending membrane and shear energies are given as

Identification of the boundary layer structure or layerresolution is a useful tool for assessing the quality of thediscretized solution and providing guidance for setting upthe discretization for instance in mesh generation If thesolution is not dominated by the layers we simply observethe underlying smooth part of the solution

convergence rate due to parameter-dependent error am-plification [21] We use the p-version of the finite elementmethod [16] in order to alleviate the (possible) locking andensure convergence

3 Stochastic Shell Eigenproblem

+e stochastic extension of the free vibration problemarises from introducing uncertainties in the material pa-rameters and the geometry of the shell In the context ofthis paper we assume that these uncertainties may beparametrized using a finite number of uniformly distrib-uted random variables +e approximate solution statisticsare then computed employing a sparse grid stochasticcollocation operator

31 e Stochastic Eigenproblem We let the material andgeometric uncertainties be represented by a vector of mu-tually independent random variables ξ (ξ1 ξ2 ξM)

taking values in a suitable domain Γ sub RM for some M isin NFor uniformly distributed random variables we maywithout loss of generality assume a scaling such thatΓ ≔ [minus1 1]M

First we assume a set of geometric parameters(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) and let the computational domain be givenby a function D(ξ) D(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) Second we assumea set of material parameters (ξmprime+1 ξmprime+2 ξM) and letYoungrsquos modulus be a random field expressed in the form

E(x ξ) E0(x) + 1113944M

mmprime+1

Em(x)ξm x isin D(ξ) (19)

+e parametrization (19) may for instance result froma KarhunenndashLoeve expansion of the underlying randomfield E We assume that the random field is strictly uniformlypositive and uniformly bounded ie there existsEmin Emax gt 0 such that

Emin le ess infxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)le ess supxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)leEmax (20)

for all ξ isin ΓLet L2

μ(Γ) denote a weighted L2-space where μ is theuniform product probability measure associated with theprobability distribution of ξ isin Γ For functions in L2

μ(Γ) wedefine the expected value

E[v] 1113946Γv(ξ)dμ(ξ) (21)

and variance Var[v] E[(vminusE[v])2]Assuming stochastic models for the computational

domain and Youngrsquos modulus the eigenpairs of the freevibration problem now depend on ξ isin Γ +e stochasticeigenvalue problem is obtained simply by replacing thedifferential operators in (8) with their stochastic counter-parts and assuming that the resulting equation holds forevery realization of ξ isin Γ In the variational form theproblem reads find functions u(t) Γ⟶ V andω2(t) Γ⟶ R such that for all ξ isin Γ we have

tam(ξu(t ξ) v) + tas(ξ u(t ξ) v) + t3ab(ξ u(t ξ) v)

ω2(t ξ)m(t ξ u(t ξ) v) forallv isin V

(22)

where am(ξ middot middot) as(ξ middot middot) ab(ξ middot middot) and m(t ξ middot middot) arestochastic equivalents of the deterministic bilinear forms in(9) We assume that the eigenvector u(t ξ) is normalizedwith respect to the inner product m(t ξ middot middot) for all ξ isin Γ

32 Eigenvalue Crossings In the context of stochastic ei-genvalue problems special care must be taken in order tomake sure that different realizations of the solution are infact comparable +is is true for shell eigenvalue problems inparticular since the eigenvalues of thin cylindrical shells aretypically tightly clustered Double eigenvalues may appeardue to symmetries and physical properties of the shell mightbe such that eigenvalues corresponding to different har-monic wavenumbers appear very close to each other Whenthe problems are brought to stochastic setting we may facethe issue of eigenvalue crossings +e ordering of the ei-genvalues associated with each mode may be different fordifferent realizations of the problem +is issue has pre-viously been illustrated in [11] and considered in the case ofshell eigenvalue problems in [15]

In our examples the eigenvalue crossings do not posecomputational difficulties When the problem is reducedthrough ansatz (14) or (15) the eigenmodes are separated bywavenumber K and as a result for any fixed K the eigen-values of the reduced problem appear well-separatedHowever one should bear in mind that the eigenvalues ofthe original 3D problem may still cross In Section 5 wepresent numerical examples which illustrate that a kthsmallest eigenvalue may be associated with eigenmodes withdifferent wavenumbers for different values of the stochasticvariables Moreover as revealed by the ansatz each eigen-value of the dimensionally reduced problem is actually as-sociated with an eigenspace of dimension two

33 e Spatially Discretized Eigenvalue Problem We em-ploy standard high-order finite elements with polynomialorder p isin N For any fixed tgt 0 the spatially discretizedproblem may be written as a parametric matrix eigenvalueproblem find λp Γ⟶ R and yp Γ⟶ Rn such that

S(ξ)yp(ξ) λp(ξ)M(ξ)yp(ξ) forallξ isin Γ (23)

where n is the dimension of the discretization space HereMand S are the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix whichobviously depend on ξ isin Γ For any fixed ξ isin Γ problem(23) reduces to a positive-definite generalized matrix ei-genvalue problem

We let langmiddot middotrangM(ξ) and middot M(ξ) denote the inner productand norm induced by the mass matrix We assume theeigenvector to be normalized according to yp(ξ)M(ξ) 1for all ξ isin Γ Moreover we fix its sign so that the innerproduct langyp(0) yp(ξ)rangM(ξ) where yp(0) is a suitable ref-erence solution is positive for every ξ isin Γ In practice wemay disregard the possibility that the inner product is zero

Shock and Vibration 5

and therefore as long as the discrete eigenvalues are simplethe solution is well defined for all ξ isin Γ

34 Stochastic Collocation on Sparse Grids We introducean anisotropic Smolyak-type sparse grid collocation oper-ator ([6 22 23]) for resolving the effects of the randomvariables ξ isin Γ

Assume a finite multiindex setA sub NM0 For α β isin Awe

We approach this problem from the viewpoint ofpolynomial interpolation In the following we assume forsimplicity that Γ [minus1 1]M Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 sub Γ

denote a set of collocation points and letB L1 LJ1113966 1113967JgeN be a set of orthogonal polynomial basis functions withrespect to the measure dμ satisfying

1113946ΓLi(ξ)Lj(ξ)dμ(ξ) 0 whenever ine j (28)

In addition we denote

ck 1113946ΓLk(ξ)

2dμ(ξ)1113874 1113875

12for k isin 1 J (29)

We assume that the basis functions in B are ordered indegree lexicographic order In particular L1 is constant

Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence of 1

2 J so that each element of β corresponds to one andonly one element of this set +en for any such subsequencewe can construct the Vandermonde-like matrix Vβ

Following [12] it turns out that the Vandermonde-likematrices related to the Smolyak interpolating polynomialsare remarkably well conditioned One may find a well-conditioned interpolating polynomial for a subset ofa sparse grid by proceeding in the following way

(i) Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 be a subset of a sparse gridX χ1 χJ1113966 1113967

(ii) Let B L1 LJ1113966 1113967 be the Smolyak polynomialbasis functions (cf [26])

(iii) Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence corre-sponding to the row indices of the maximum vol-ume submatrix of W (Li(χj))1leileJ1lejleN

(iv) Form the Lagrange interpolating polynomialPf(ξ) 1113936

(ξ) where the coefficientsc1 cN isin R are obtained as in (30)

+e use of the maximum volume submatrix ensures boththat the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is well definedand that system (45) is sufficiently well conditioned

In practical calculations finding the analytical maximumvolume submatrix is in general an NP-hard problemHowever there exist several algorithms in the literaturewhich can be used to find the approximate maximumvolume submatrix in a computationally efficient mannerWe use the MaxVol algorithm proposed in [27] A relatedalgorithm has been discussed in [28]

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

minusω2M1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

1113954f(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

41 Frequency Response Analysis with Sparse Grids +ecollocation methods are invariant with respect to thequantity of interest and therefore the application to fre-quency response is straightforward

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

In Tables 1 and 2 we have listed statistics for eight of thesmallest eigenvalues of the tower configuration with thecorresponding wavenumberK Of interest is the pair of fourthand fifth smallest eigenvalues since the values are fairly closeto each other in other words they form a cluster Indeed if wetrack themodes over the parameter space we see that crossingoccurs ie different eigenmodes are associated with thefourth smallest eigenvalue for different realizations of theproblem Also notice that the actual squares of frequenciesvary (at least) within range [456230 457879] for K 4 withthe expected value 457240 +is means that in a multi-parametric setting the number of modes observed withina fixed range of frequencies is not necessarily constant overthe whole parameter space

+e effect of the manufacturing imperfection is illus-trated for the eigenmodes associated with K 1 in Figure 3High-localized variance in the computed displacementsmeans that the uncertainty in derived quantities of interestsuch as stresses is likely to be highest In Figure 3 we seethat the variance of the transverse deflection of the thirdeigenmode for K 1 is localized exactly at the thinnest part

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

constant thickness In this study in all cases one of therandom parameters is geometric which changes the char-acter of the computational problems considerably Howeverthe underlying theoretical properties remain the same Oneof the characteristic features of multiparametric eigenvalueproblems is that the order of eigenpairs in the spectrummayvary over the parameter space a phenomenon referred to ascrossing of the modes

In this paper we show how the existing methods can beapplied to shell problems that have characteristics that differfrom those covered in the literature until nowWe do observecrossing of the modes in the wind turbine tower problemwhich is satisfying since it highlights the fact that this featureis not an artificial mathematical concept but something that ispresent in standard engineering problems +e stochasticframework for eigenproblems is applied to frequency re-sponse analysis in a straightforward manner yet the resultingmethod is new We also demonstrate in connection withfrequency response analysis that interpolation operatorsbased on partial sparse grids can provide useful information

All simulations have been computed using p-version ofthe finite element method [16] +e results derived usingcollocation on sparse grids have been verified using theMonte Carlo method

+e rest of this paper is organized as follows In Section 2the two shell models used in this paper are introduced inSection 3 the stochastic variant is given with the solutionalgorithms Section 35 covers the multivariate interpolationconstruction the frequency response analysis is briefly out-lined in Section 4 the numerical experiments are covered indetail in Section 5 finally conclusions are drawn in Section 6

2 Shell Eigenproblem

Assuming a time harmonic displacement field the free vi-bration problem for a general shell leads to the followingabstract eigenvalue problem find u isin R3 and ω2 isin R suchthat

Su ω2Mu

+ boundary conditions1113896 (1)

where u u v w represents the shell displacement fieldwhile ω2 represents the square of the eigenfrequency In theabstract setting S and M are differential operators repre-senting deformation energy and inertia respectively In thediscrete setting they refer to corresponding stiffness andmass matrices

Simulation of thin solids using standard finite elements isdifficult since one (small thickness) dimension dominates thediscretization In the following we shall derive two variants ofproblem (1) by employing different dimension reductions forshells of revolution Instead of working in 3D the elasticityequations are dimensionally reduced either in thickness or inthe case of axisymmetric domains using a suitable ansatz

21 Shell Geometry In the following we let a profilefunction y f(x) revolve about the x-axis Naturally theprofile function defines the local radius of the shell Shells of

revolution can formally be characterized as domains inR3 oftype

Ω x + η(x)n(x)|x isin Dminusd0(x)lt η(x) ltd1(x)1113864 1113865 (2)

where D is a (mid)surface of revolution n(x) is the unitnormal to D and d(x) d1(x) + d0(x) is the thickness ofthe shell measured in the direction of the normal An il-lustration of such a configuration is given in Figure 1

211 Constant (Dimensionless) ickness Let us haved(x) d (constant) and define principal curvature co-ordinates where only four parameters the radii of principalcurvature R1 R2 and the so-called Lame parameters A1 A2which relate coordinates changes to arc lengths are neededto specify the curvature and the metric on D +e dis-placement vector field of the midsurface u u v w can beinterpreted as projections to directions

In the following we shall keep the general form of theparameters in the equations

2 Shock and Vibration

We can now define the dimensionless thickness t ast dR where RsimR2 is the unit length In the following weassume that Rsim1 and thus use the two thickness conceptsdenoted by d and t interchangeably

22 Reduction in ickness +e free vibration problem fora general shell (1) in the case of shell of revolution withconstant thickness t leads to the following eigenvalueproblem find u(t) and ω2(t) isin R such that

tAmu(t) + tAsu(t) + t3Abu(t) ω2(t)M(t)u(t)

+ boundary conditions1113896 (8)

where u(t) represents the shell displacement field whileω2(t) represents the square of the eigenfrequency +edifferential operators Am As and Ab account for mem-brane shear and bending potential energies respectivelyand are independent of t Finally M(t) is the inertia op-erator which in this case can be split into the sumM(t) tMl + t3Mr with Ml (displacements) and Mr

(rotations) independent of t Many well-known shell modelsfall into this framework

Let us next consider the variational formulation ofproblem (8) Accordingly we introduce the space V ofadmissible displacements and consider the problem find(u(t)ω2(t)) isin V times R such that

tam(u(t) v) + tas(u(t) v) + t3ab(u(t) v)

ω2(t)m(t u(t) v) forallv isin V

(9)

where am(middot middot) as(middot middot) ab(middot middot) and m(t middot middot) are the bilinearforms associated with the operators Am As Ab and M(t)respectively Obviously the space V and the three bilinearforms depend on the chosen shell model [17]

221 Two-Dimensional Model Our two-dimensional shellmodel is the so-called ReissnerndashNaghdi model [17]where the transverse deflections are approximated withlow-order polynomials +e resulting vector field has

five components u (u v w θψ) where the first three arethe standard displacements and the latter two are therotations in the axial and angular directions respectivelyHere we adopt the convention that the computationaldomain 1113954Ωt sub R2 is given by the surface parametriza-tion and the axialangular coordinates are denoted by xand y

1113954Ωt (x y) | alexle b 0leylt 2π1113864 1113865 (10)

Deformation energy A(uu) is divided into bendingmembrane and shear energies denoted by subscripts B Mand S respectively

Notice that we can safely cancel out one power of tBending membrane and shear energies are given as

Identification of the boundary layer structure or layerresolution is a useful tool for assessing the quality of thediscretized solution and providing guidance for setting upthe discretization for instance in mesh generation If thesolution is not dominated by the layers we simply observethe underlying smooth part of the solution

3 Stochastic Shell Eigenproblem

+e stochastic extension of the free vibration problemarises from introducing uncertainties in the material pa-rameters and the geometry of the shell In the context ofthis paper we assume that these uncertainties may beparametrized using a finite number of uniformly distrib-uted random variables +e approximate solution statisticsare then computed employing a sparse grid stochasticcollocation operator

31 e Stochastic Eigenproblem We let the material andgeometric uncertainties be represented by a vector of mu-tually independent random variables ξ (ξ1 ξ2 ξM)

taking values in a suitable domain Γ sub RM for some M isin NFor uniformly distributed random variables we maywithout loss of generality assume a scaling such thatΓ ≔ [minus1 1]M

First we assume a set of geometric parameters(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) and let the computational domain be givenby a function D(ξ) D(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) Second we assumea set of material parameters (ξmprime+1 ξmprime+2 ξM) and letYoungrsquos modulus be a random field expressed in the form

E(x ξ) E0(x) + 1113944M

mmprime+1

Em(x)ξm x isin D(ξ) (19)

+e parametrization (19) may for instance result froma KarhunenndashLoeve expansion of the underlying randomfield E We assume that the random field is strictly uniformlypositive and uniformly bounded ie there existsEmin Emax gt 0 such that

Emin le ess infxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)le ess supxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)leEmax (20)

for all ξ isin ΓLet L2

μ(Γ) denote a weighted L2-space where μ is theuniform product probability measure associated with theprobability distribution of ξ isin Γ For functions in L2

μ(Γ) wedefine the expected value

E[v] 1113946Γv(ξ)dμ(ξ) (21)

and variance Var[v] E[(vminusE[v])2]Assuming stochastic models for the computational

domain and Youngrsquos modulus the eigenpairs of the freevibration problem now depend on ξ isin Γ +e stochasticeigenvalue problem is obtained simply by replacing thedifferential operators in (8) with their stochastic counter-parts and assuming that the resulting equation holds forevery realization of ξ isin Γ In the variational form theproblem reads find functions u(t) Γ⟶ V andω2(t) Γ⟶ R such that for all ξ isin Γ we have

tam(ξu(t ξ) v) + tas(ξ u(t ξ) v) + t3ab(ξ u(t ξ) v)

ω2(t ξ)m(t ξ u(t ξ) v) forallv isin V

(22)

where am(ξ middot middot) as(ξ middot middot) ab(ξ middot middot) and m(t ξ middot middot) arestochastic equivalents of the deterministic bilinear forms in(9) We assume that the eigenvector u(t ξ) is normalizedwith respect to the inner product m(t ξ middot middot) for all ξ isin Γ

32 Eigenvalue Crossings In the context of stochastic ei-genvalue problems special care must be taken in order tomake sure that different realizations of the solution are infact comparable +is is true for shell eigenvalue problems inparticular since the eigenvalues of thin cylindrical shells aretypically tightly clustered Double eigenvalues may appeardue to symmetries and physical properties of the shell mightbe such that eigenvalues corresponding to different har-monic wavenumbers appear very close to each other Whenthe problems are brought to stochastic setting we may facethe issue of eigenvalue crossings +e ordering of the ei-genvalues associated with each mode may be different fordifferent realizations of the problem +is issue has pre-viously been illustrated in [11] and considered in the case ofshell eigenvalue problems in [15]

In our examples the eigenvalue crossings do not posecomputational difficulties When the problem is reducedthrough ansatz (14) or (15) the eigenmodes are separated bywavenumber K and as a result for any fixed K the eigen-values of the reduced problem appear well-separatedHowever one should bear in mind that the eigenvalues ofthe original 3D problem may still cross In Section 5 wepresent numerical examples which illustrate that a kthsmallest eigenvalue may be associated with eigenmodes withdifferent wavenumbers for different values of the stochasticvariables Moreover as revealed by the ansatz each eigen-value of the dimensionally reduced problem is actually as-sociated with an eigenspace of dimension two

33 e Spatially Discretized Eigenvalue Problem We em-ploy standard high-order finite elements with polynomialorder p isin N For any fixed tgt 0 the spatially discretizedproblem may be written as a parametric matrix eigenvalueproblem find λp Γ⟶ R and yp Γ⟶ Rn such that

S(ξ)yp(ξ) λp(ξ)M(ξ)yp(ξ) forallξ isin Γ (23)

where n is the dimension of the discretization space HereMand S are the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix whichobviously depend on ξ isin Γ For any fixed ξ isin Γ problem(23) reduces to a positive-definite generalized matrix ei-genvalue problem

We let langmiddot middotrangM(ξ) and middot M(ξ) denote the inner productand norm induced by the mass matrix We assume theeigenvector to be normalized according to yp(ξ)M(ξ) 1for all ξ isin Γ Moreover we fix its sign so that the innerproduct langyp(0) yp(ξ)rangM(ξ) where yp(0) is a suitable ref-erence solution is positive for every ξ isin Γ In practice wemay disregard the possibility that the inner product is zero

and therefore as long as the discrete eigenvalues are simplethe solution is well defined for all ξ isin Γ

34 Stochastic Collocation on Sparse Grids We introducean anisotropic Smolyak-type sparse grid collocation oper-ator ([6 22 23]) for resolving the effects of the randomvariables ξ isin Γ

35 Stochastic Collocation on Partial Sparse Grids In theframework of this paper each collocation point in thestochastic space Γ corresponds to a single measurementconfiguration In contrast to idealized mathematical modelsthe range of practical measurement settings may be limitedto a small subset of Γ In this section we discuss one methodto carry out the analysis of the response statistics of a ran-dom field in a subset of Γ

We approach this problem from the viewpoint ofpolynomial interpolation In the following we assume forsimplicity that Γ [minus1 1]M Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 sub Γ

denote a set of collocation points and letB L1 LJ1113966 1113967JgeN be a set of orthogonal polynomial basis functions withrespect to the measure dμ satisfying

We assume that the basis functions in B are ordered indegree lexicographic order In particular L1 is constant

Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence of 1

Following [12] it turns out that the Vandermonde-likematrices related to the Smolyak interpolating polynomialsare remarkably well conditioned One may find a well-conditioned interpolating polynomial for a subset ofa sparse grid by proceeding in the following way

(i) Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 be a subset of a sparse gridX χ1 χJ1113966 1113967

(ii) Let B L1 LJ1113966 1113967 be the Smolyak polynomialbasis functions (cf [26])

(iii) Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence corre-sponding to the row indices of the maximum vol-ume submatrix of W (Li(χj))1leileJ1lejleN

+e use of the maximum volume submatrix ensures boththat the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is well definedand that system (45) is sufficiently well conditioned

In practical calculations finding the analytical maximumvolume submatrix is in general an NP-hard problemHowever there exist several algorithms in the literaturewhich can be used to find the approximate maximumvolume submatrix in a computationally efficient mannerWe use the MaxVol algorithm proposed in [27] A relatedalgorithm has been discussed in [28]

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

minusω2M1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

1113954f(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

522 Frequency Response Analysis For the frequency re-sponse analysis of the short cylinder the load is chosento be F(x y) 1000 cos(y2)N and the angular fre-quency range is taken to be ω isin 2π 5 10 200 HzIn our analysis all modes are present no attempt tochoose for instance a subspace of lowest modes has beenmade

We first carry out the solution of the frequency responsestatistics subject to the abovementioned second-orderSmolyakndashGaussndashLegendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order SmolyakndashClenshawndashCurtis quadrature pointsXCC and then consider their respective subsets with 25points defined by setting

Let us first consider sparse grids XGL and XCC InFigure 9 we show two frequency response graphs where theexpected values of the quantity of interest the maximaltransverse deflection wmax are shown along standard de-viations It is clear that the frequency response is sensitive toperturbations to the parameters +e two point sets are nothierarchic and thus one cannot expect to get exactlyidentical responses Moreover distributions of the values of

the quantity of interest appear to be exponential +is isillustrated in Figure 10 +e maximal transverse deflectionwmax at any given frequency depends on how well the tail ofthe distribution is approximated

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

We can now define the dimensionless thickness t ast dR where RsimR2 is the unit length In the following weassume that Rsim1 and thus use the two thickness conceptsdenoted by d and t interchangeably

22 Reduction in ickness +e free vibration problem fora general shell (1) in the case of shell of revolution withconstant thickness t leads to the following eigenvalueproblem find u(t) and ω2(t) isin R such that

tAmu(t) + tAsu(t) + t3Abu(t) ω2(t)M(t)u(t)

+ boundary conditions1113896 (8)

where u(t) represents the shell displacement field whileω2(t) represents the square of the eigenfrequency +edifferential operators Am As and Ab account for mem-brane shear and bending potential energies respectivelyand are independent of t Finally M(t) is the inertia op-erator which in this case can be split into the sumM(t) tMl + t3Mr with Ml (displacements) and Mr

(rotations) independent of t Many well-known shell modelsfall into this framework

Let us next consider the variational formulation ofproblem (8) Accordingly we introduce the space V ofadmissible displacements and consider the problem find(u(t)ω2(t)) isin V times R such that

tam(u(t) v) + tas(u(t) v) + t3ab(u(t) v)

ω2(t)m(t u(t) v) forallv isin V

(9)

where am(middot middot) as(middot middot) ab(middot middot) and m(t middot middot) are the bilinearforms associated with the operators Am As Ab and M(t)respectively Obviously the space V and the three bilinearforms depend on the chosen shell model [17]

221 Two-Dimensional Model Our two-dimensional shellmodel is the so-called ReissnerndashNaghdi model [17]where the transverse deflections are approximated withlow-order polynomials +e resulting vector field has

five components u (u v w θψ) where the first three arethe standard displacements and the latter two are therotations in the axial and angular directions respectivelyHere we adopt the convention that the computationaldomain 1113954Ωt sub R2 is given by the surface parametriza-tion and the axialangular coordinates are denoted by xand y

Deformation energy A(uu) is divided into bendingmembrane and shear energies denoted by subscripts B Mand S respectively

24 Special Features of Shell Problems

241 Boundary Layers +e solutions of shell problemsstatic or dynamic often include boundary layers and eveninternal layers each of which has its own characteristiclength scale [20] Internal layers are generated by geo-metric features such as cuts and holes or changes incurvature for instance at shell junctions +e layers eitherdecay exponentially toward the boundary or oscillate withexponentially decaying amplitude For parabolic shellsit is known that the axial boundary layers decay expo-nentially with a characteristic length scale sim

Identification of the boundary layer structure or layerresolution is a useful tool for assessing the quality of thediscretized solution and providing guidance for setting upthe discretization for instance in mesh generation If thesolution is not dominated by the layers we simply observethe underlying smooth part of the solution

3 Stochastic Shell Eigenproblem

+e stochastic extension of the free vibration problemarises from introducing uncertainties in the material pa-rameters and the geometry of the shell In the context ofthis paper we assume that these uncertainties may beparametrized using a finite number of uniformly distrib-uted random variables +e approximate solution statisticsare then computed employing a sparse grid stochasticcollocation operator

31 e Stochastic Eigenproblem We let the material andgeometric uncertainties be represented by a vector of mu-tually independent random variables ξ (ξ1 ξ2 ξM)

taking values in a suitable domain Γ sub RM for some M isin NFor uniformly distributed random variables we maywithout loss of generality assume a scaling such thatΓ ≔ [minus1 1]M

First we assume a set of geometric parameters(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) and let the computational domain be givenby a function D(ξ) D(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) Second we assumea set of material parameters (ξmprime+1 ξmprime+2 ξM) and letYoungrsquos modulus be a random field expressed in the form

E(x ξ) E0(x) + 1113944M

mmprime+1

Em(x)ξm x isin D(ξ) (19)

+e parametrization (19) may for instance result froma KarhunenndashLoeve expansion of the underlying randomfield E We assume that the random field is strictly uniformlypositive and uniformly bounded ie there existsEmin Emax gt 0 such that

Emin le ess infxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)le ess supxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)leEmax (20)

for all ξ isin ΓLet L2

μ(Γ) denote a weighted L2-space where μ is theuniform product probability measure associated with theprobability distribution of ξ isin Γ For functions in L2

μ(Γ) wedefine the expected value

E[v] 1113946Γv(ξ)dμ(ξ) (21)

and variance Var[v] E[(vminusE[v])2]Assuming stochastic models for the computational

domain and Youngrsquos modulus the eigenpairs of the freevibration problem now depend on ξ isin Γ +e stochasticeigenvalue problem is obtained simply by replacing thedifferential operators in (8) with their stochastic counter-parts and assuming that the resulting equation holds forevery realization of ξ isin Γ In the variational form theproblem reads find functions u(t) Γ⟶ V andω2(t) Γ⟶ R such that for all ξ isin Γ we have

tam(ξu(t ξ) v) + tas(ξ u(t ξ) v) + t3ab(ξ u(t ξ) v)

ω2(t ξ)m(t ξ u(t ξ) v) forallv isin V

(22)

where am(ξ middot middot) as(ξ middot middot) ab(ξ middot middot) and m(t ξ middot middot) arestochastic equivalents of the deterministic bilinear forms in(9) We assume that the eigenvector u(t ξ) is normalizedwith respect to the inner product m(t ξ middot middot) for all ξ isin Γ

32 Eigenvalue Crossings In the context of stochastic ei-genvalue problems special care must be taken in order tomake sure that different realizations of the solution are infact comparable +is is true for shell eigenvalue problems inparticular since the eigenvalues of thin cylindrical shells aretypically tightly clustered Double eigenvalues may appeardue to symmetries and physical properties of the shell mightbe such that eigenvalues corresponding to different har-monic wavenumbers appear very close to each other Whenthe problems are brought to stochastic setting we may facethe issue of eigenvalue crossings +e ordering of the ei-genvalues associated with each mode may be different fordifferent realizations of the problem +is issue has pre-viously been illustrated in [11] and considered in the case ofshell eigenvalue problems in [15]

In our examples the eigenvalue crossings do not posecomputational difficulties When the problem is reducedthrough ansatz (14) or (15) the eigenmodes are separated bywavenumber K and as a result for any fixed K the eigen-values of the reduced problem appear well-separatedHowever one should bear in mind that the eigenvalues ofthe original 3D problem may still cross In Section 5 wepresent numerical examples which illustrate that a kthsmallest eigenvalue may be associated with eigenmodes withdifferent wavenumbers for different values of the stochasticvariables Moreover as revealed by the ansatz each eigen-value of the dimensionally reduced problem is actually as-sociated with an eigenspace of dimension two

33 e Spatially Discretized Eigenvalue Problem We em-ploy standard high-order finite elements with polynomialorder p isin N For any fixed tgt 0 the spatially discretizedproblem may be written as a parametric matrix eigenvalueproblem find λp Γ⟶ R and yp Γ⟶ Rn such that

S(ξ)yp(ξ) λp(ξ)M(ξ)yp(ξ) forallξ isin Γ (23)

where n is the dimension of the discretization space HereMand S are the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix whichobviously depend on ξ isin Γ For any fixed ξ isin Γ problem(23) reduces to a positive-definite generalized matrix ei-genvalue problem

We let langmiddot middotrangM(ξ) and middot M(ξ) denote the inner productand norm induced by the mass matrix We assume theeigenvector to be normalized according to yp(ξ)M(ξ) 1for all ξ isin Γ Moreover we fix its sign so that the innerproduct langyp(0) yp(ξ)rangM(ξ) where yp(0) is a suitable ref-erence solution is positive for every ξ isin Γ In practice wemay disregard the possibility that the inner product is zero

Shock and Vibration 5

and therefore as long as the discrete eigenvalues are simplethe solution is well defined for all ξ isin Γ

34 Stochastic Collocation on Sparse Grids We introducean anisotropic Smolyak-type sparse grid collocation oper-ator ([6 22 23]) for resolving the effects of the randomvariables ξ isin Γ

35 Stochastic Collocation on Partial Sparse Grids In theframework of this paper each collocation point in thestochastic space Γ corresponds to a single measurementconfiguration In contrast to idealized mathematical modelsthe range of practical measurement settings may be limitedto a small subset of Γ In this section we discuss one methodto carry out the analysis of the response statistics of a ran-dom field in a subset of Γ

We approach this problem from the viewpoint ofpolynomial interpolation In the following we assume forsimplicity that Γ [minus1 1]M Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 sub Γ

denote a set of collocation points and letB L1 LJ1113966 1113967JgeN be a set of orthogonal polynomial basis functions withrespect to the measure dμ satisfying

In addition we denote

We assume that the basis functions in B are ordered indegree lexicographic order In particular L1 is constant

Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence of 1

Following [12] it turns out that the Vandermonde-likematrices related to the Smolyak interpolating polynomialsare remarkably well conditioned One may find a well-conditioned interpolating polynomial for a subset ofa sparse grid by proceeding in the following way

(i) Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 be a subset of a sparse gridX χ1 χJ1113966 1113967

(ii) Let B L1 LJ1113966 1113967 be the Smolyak polynomialbasis functions (cf [26])

(iii) Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence corre-sponding to the row indices of the maximum vol-ume submatrix of W (Li(χj))1leileJ1lejleN

+e use of the maximum volume submatrix ensures boththat the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is well definedand that system (45) is sufficiently well conditioned

In practical calculations finding the analytical maximumvolume submatrix is in general an NP-hard problemHowever there exist several algorithms in the literaturewhich can be used to find the approximate maximumvolume submatrix in a computationally efficient mannerWe use the MaxVol algorithm proposed in [27] A relatedalgorithm has been discussed in [28]

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

We study both free vibration and frequency response forthis configuration

521 Free Vibration Let us first examine the lowest modesof the two structures Interestingly when comparing the twosubfigures of Figure 5 the colours indicate that indeed in thelong cylinder the long-range internal layer of 1

in the lowest mode However none of the shorter charac-teristic length scales have strong amplitudes in the transversedeflection in this case

In Table 4 we have listed statistics for four of the smallesteigenvalues of the short and long cylinder configurations Inthis case the eigenvalues appear well separated Again thestatistics were verified by a Monte Carlo simulation of S

1000 samples A comparison of the results obtained byMonte Carlo and collocation algorithms has been presentedin Table 5 As discussed before we see from the figures inTable 5 that the errors between the two solutions fall wellwithin the tolerances of the Monte Carlo results

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the long cylinder withjunctions have been presented in Figure 6 +e long-rangelayer is clearly visible in the second third and fifth com-ponents +e effect of the cone junction is distinctly man-ifested in the statistics of the fourth component +estandard deviations of the two smallest eigenvalues areapproximately 62 and 50 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately021 and thus the eigenvalues at least appear to be wellseparated

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the short cylinderwith junctions have been presented in Figure 7 In thiscase we do not observe a separate long-range layer +eeffect of the cone junction is never the less apparent in thestatistics of the fourth component +e standard de-viations of the two smallest eigenvalues are now ap-proximately 31 and 49 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately024 and thus the eigenvalues again appear to be wellseparated

In Figure 8 the short-range effects of the T-junction havebeen highlighted +e statistics of the fifth component havebeen shown in vicinity of the junction for both cylinders+erelative strength of the long-range axial layer in the longcylinder can be observed whereas in the short cylinder theangular oscillatory layer is dominant In both configurationsthere is a hint of short-range axial layer emanating from thehole

522 Frequency Response Analysis For the frequency re-sponse analysis of the short cylinder the load is chosento be F(x y) 1000 cos(y2)N and the angular fre-quency range is taken to be ω isin 2π 5 10 200 HzIn our analysis all modes are present no attempt tochoose for instance a subspace of lowest modes has beenmade

We first carry out the solution of the frequency responsestatistics subject to the abovementioned second-orderSmolyakndashGaussndashLegendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order SmolyakndashClenshawndashCurtis quadrature pointsXCC and then consider their respective subsets with 25points defined by setting

Let us first consider sparse grids XGL and XCC InFigure 9 we show two frequency response graphs where theexpected values of the quantity of interest the maximaltransverse deflection wmax are shown along standard de-viations It is clear that the frequency response is sensitive toperturbations to the parameters +e two point sets are nothierarchic and thus one cannot expect to get exactlyidentical responses Moreover distributions of the values of

the quantity of interest appear to be exponential +is isillustrated in Figure 10 +e maximal transverse deflectionwmax at any given frequency depends on how well the tail ofthe distribution is approximated

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

24 Special Features of Shell Problems

241 Boundary Layers +e solutions of shell problemsstatic or dynamic often include boundary layers and eveninternal layers each of which has its own characteristiclength scale [20] Internal layers are generated by geo-metric features such as cuts and holes or changes incurvature for instance at shell junctions +e layers eitherdecay exponentially toward the boundary or oscillate withexponentially decaying amplitude For parabolic shellsit is known that the axial boundary layers decay expo-nentially with a characteristic length scale sim

Identification of the boundary layer structure or layerresolution is a useful tool for assessing the quality of thediscretized solution and providing guidance for setting upthe discretization for instance in mesh generation If thesolution is not dominated by the layers we simply observethe underlying smooth part of the solution

3 Stochastic Shell Eigenproblem

+e stochastic extension of the free vibration problemarises from introducing uncertainties in the material pa-rameters and the geometry of the shell In the context ofthis paper we assume that these uncertainties may beparametrized using a finite number of uniformly distrib-uted random variables +e approximate solution statisticsare then computed employing a sparse grid stochasticcollocation operator

31 e Stochastic Eigenproblem We let the material andgeometric uncertainties be represented by a vector of mu-tually independent random variables ξ (ξ1 ξ2 ξM)

taking values in a suitable domain Γ sub RM for some M isin NFor uniformly distributed random variables we maywithout loss of generality assume a scaling such thatΓ ≔ [minus1 1]M

First we assume a set of geometric parameters(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) and let the computational domain be givenby a function D(ξ) D(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) Second we assumea set of material parameters (ξmprime+1 ξmprime+2 ξM) and letYoungrsquos modulus be a random field expressed in the form

E(x ξ) E0(x) + 1113944M

mmprime+1

Em(x)ξm x isin D(ξ) (19)

+e parametrization (19) may for instance result froma KarhunenndashLoeve expansion of the underlying randomfield E We assume that the random field is strictly uniformlypositive and uniformly bounded ie there existsEmin Emax gt 0 such that

Emin le ess infxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)le ess supxisinD(ξ)

E(x ξ)leEmax (20)

for all ξ isin ΓLet L2

μ(Γ) denote a weighted L2-space where μ is theuniform product probability measure associated with theprobability distribution of ξ isin Γ For functions in L2

μ(Γ) wedefine the expected value

E[v] 1113946Γv(ξ)dμ(ξ) (21)

and variance Var[v] E[(vminusE[v])2]Assuming stochastic models for the computational

domain and Youngrsquos modulus the eigenpairs of the freevibration problem now depend on ξ isin Γ +e stochasticeigenvalue problem is obtained simply by replacing thedifferential operators in (8) with their stochastic counter-parts and assuming that the resulting equation holds forevery realization of ξ isin Γ In the variational form theproblem reads find functions u(t) Γ⟶ V andω2(t) Γ⟶ R such that for all ξ isin Γ we have

tam(ξu(t ξ) v) + tas(ξ u(t ξ) v) + t3ab(ξ u(t ξ) v)

ω2(t ξ)m(t ξ u(t ξ) v) forallv isin V

(22)

where am(ξ middot middot) as(ξ middot middot) ab(ξ middot middot) and m(t ξ middot middot) arestochastic equivalents of the deterministic bilinear forms in(9) We assume that the eigenvector u(t ξ) is normalizedwith respect to the inner product m(t ξ middot middot) for all ξ isin Γ

32 Eigenvalue Crossings In the context of stochastic ei-genvalue problems special care must be taken in order tomake sure that different realizations of the solution are infact comparable +is is true for shell eigenvalue problems inparticular since the eigenvalues of thin cylindrical shells aretypically tightly clustered Double eigenvalues may appeardue to symmetries and physical properties of the shell mightbe such that eigenvalues corresponding to different har-monic wavenumbers appear very close to each other Whenthe problems are brought to stochastic setting we may facethe issue of eigenvalue crossings +e ordering of the ei-genvalues associated with each mode may be different fordifferent realizations of the problem +is issue has pre-viously been illustrated in [11] and considered in the case ofshell eigenvalue problems in [15]

In our examples the eigenvalue crossings do not posecomputational difficulties When the problem is reducedthrough ansatz (14) or (15) the eigenmodes are separated bywavenumber K and as a result for any fixed K the eigen-values of the reduced problem appear well-separatedHowever one should bear in mind that the eigenvalues ofthe original 3D problem may still cross In Section 5 wepresent numerical examples which illustrate that a kthsmallest eigenvalue may be associated with eigenmodes withdifferent wavenumbers for different values of the stochasticvariables Moreover as revealed by the ansatz each eigen-value of the dimensionally reduced problem is actually as-sociated with an eigenspace of dimension two

33 e Spatially Discretized Eigenvalue Problem We em-ploy standard high-order finite elements with polynomialorder p isin N For any fixed tgt 0 the spatially discretizedproblem may be written as a parametric matrix eigenvalueproblem find λp Γ⟶ R and yp Γ⟶ Rn such that

S(ξ)yp(ξ) λp(ξ)M(ξ)yp(ξ) forallξ isin Γ (23)

where n is the dimension of the discretization space HereMand S are the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix whichobviously depend on ξ isin Γ For any fixed ξ isin Γ problem(23) reduces to a positive-definite generalized matrix ei-genvalue problem

We let langmiddot middotrangM(ξ) and middot M(ξ) denote the inner productand norm induced by the mass matrix We assume theeigenvector to be normalized according to yp(ξ)M(ξ) 1for all ξ isin Γ Moreover we fix its sign so that the innerproduct langyp(0) yp(ξ)rangM(ξ) where yp(0) is a suitable ref-erence solution is positive for every ξ isin Γ In practice wemay disregard the possibility that the inner product is zero

and therefore as long as the discrete eigenvalues are simplethe solution is well defined for all ξ isin Γ

34 Stochastic Collocation on Sparse Grids We introducean anisotropic Smolyak-type sparse grid collocation oper-ator ([6 22 23]) for resolving the effects of the randomvariables ξ isin Γ

35 Stochastic Collocation on Partial Sparse Grids In theframework of this paper each collocation point in thestochastic space Γ corresponds to a single measurementconfiguration In contrast to idealized mathematical modelsthe range of practical measurement settings may be limitedto a small subset of Γ In this section we discuss one methodto carry out the analysis of the response statistics of a ran-dom field in a subset of Γ

We approach this problem from the viewpoint ofpolynomial interpolation In the following we assume forsimplicity that Γ [minus1 1]M Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 sub Γ

denote a set of collocation points and letB L1 LJ1113966 1113967JgeN be a set of orthogonal polynomial basis functions withrespect to the measure dμ satisfying

In addition we denote

We assume that the basis functions in B are ordered indegree lexicographic order In particular L1 is constant

Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence of 1

2 J so that each element of β corresponds to one andonly one element of this set +en for any such subsequencewe can construct the Vandermonde-like matrix Vβ

Following [12] it turns out that the Vandermonde-likematrices related to the Smolyak interpolating polynomialsare remarkably well conditioned One may find a well-conditioned interpolating polynomial for a subset ofa sparse grid by proceeding in the following way

(i) Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 be a subset of a sparse gridX χ1 χJ1113966 1113967

(ii) Let B L1 LJ1113966 1113967 be the Smolyak polynomialbasis functions (cf [26])

(iii) Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence corre-sponding to the row indices of the maximum vol-ume submatrix of W (Li(χj))1leileJ1lejleN

(iv) Form the Lagrange interpolating polynomialPf(ξ) 1113936

+e use of the maximum volume submatrix ensures boththat the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is well definedand that system (45) is sufficiently well conditioned

In practical calculations finding the analytical maximumvolume submatrix is in general an NP-hard problemHowever there exist several algorithms in the literaturewhich can be used to find the approximate maximumvolume submatrix in a computationally efficient mannerWe use the MaxVol algorithm proposed in [27] A relatedalgorithm has been discussed in [28]

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

minusω2M1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

1113954f(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

We study both free vibration and frequency response forthis configuration

521 Free Vibration Let us first examine the lowest modesof the two structures Interestingly when comparing the twosubfigures of Figure 5 the colours indicate that indeed in thelong cylinder the long-range internal layer of 1

in the lowest mode However none of the shorter charac-teristic length scales have strong amplitudes in the transversedeflection in this case

In Table 4 we have listed statistics for four of the smallesteigenvalues of the short and long cylinder configurations Inthis case the eigenvalues appear well separated Again thestatistics were verified by a Monte Carlo simulation of S

1000 samples A comparison of the results obtained byMonte Carlo and collocation algorithms has been presentedin Table 5 As discussed before we see from the figures inTable 5 that the errors between the two solutions fall wellwithin the tolerances of the Monte Carlo results

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the long cylinder withjunctions have been presented in Figure 6 +e long-rangelayer is clearly visible in the second third and fifth com-ponents +e effect of the cone junction is distinctly man-ifested in the statistics of the fourth component +estandard deviations of the two smallest eigenvalues areapproximately 62 and 50 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately021 and thus the eigenvalues at least appear to be wellseparated

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the short cylinderwith junctions have been presented in Figure 7 In thiscase we do not observe a separate long-range layer +eeffect of the cone junction is never the less apparent in thestatistics of the fourth component +e standard de-viations of the two smallest eigenvalues are now ap-proximately 31 and 49 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately024 and thus the eigenvalues again appear to be wellseparated

In Figure 8 the short-range effects of the T-junction havebeen highlighted +e statistics of the fifth component havebeen shown in vicinity of the junction for both cylinders+erelative strength of the long-range axial layer in the longcylinder can be observed whereas in the short cylinder theangular oscillatory layer is dominant In both configurationsthere is a hint of short-range axial layer emanating from thehole

We first carry out the solution of the frequency responsestatistics subject to the abovementioned second-orderSmolyakndashGaussndashLegendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order SmolyakndashClenshawndashCurtis quadrature pointsXCC and then consider their respective subsets with 25points defined by setting

Let us first consider sparse grids XGL and XCC InFigure 9 we show two frequency response graphs where theexpected values of the quantity of interest the maximaltransverse deflection wmax are shown along standard de-viations It is clear that the frequency response is sensitive toperturbations to the parameters +e two point sets are nothierarchic and thus one cannot expect to get exactlyidentical responses Moreover distributions of the values of

the quantity of interest appear to be exponential +is isillustrated in Figure 10 +e maximal transverse deflectionwmax at any given frequency depends on how well the tail ofthe distribution is approximated

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

convergence rate due to parameter-dependent error am-plification [21] We use the p-version of the finite elementmethod [16] in order to alleviate the (possible) locking andensure convergence

3 Stochastic Shell Eigenproblem

+e stochastic extension of the free vibration problemarises from introducing uncertainties in the material pa-rameters and the geometry of the shell In the context ofthis paper we assume that these uncertainties may beparametrized using a finite number of uniformly distrib-uted random variables +e approximate solution statisticsare then computed employing a sparse grid stochasticcollocation operator

31 e Stochastic Eigenproblem We let the material andgeometric uncertainties be represented by a vector of mu-tually independent random variables ξ (ξ1 ξ2 ξM)

taking values in a suitable domain Γ sub RM for some M isin NFor uniformly distributed random variables we maywithout loss of generality assume a scaling such thatΓ ≔ [minus1 1]M

First we assume a set of geometric parameters(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) and let the computational domain be givenby a function D(ξ) D(ξ1 ξ2 ξmprime) Second we assumea set of material parameters (ξmprime+1 ξmprime+2 ξM) and letYoungrsquos modulus be a random field expressed in the form

and variance Var[v] E[(vminusE[v])2]Assuming stochastic models for the computational

domain and Youngrsquos modulus the eigenpairs of the freevibration problem now depend on ξ isin Γ +e stochasticeigenvalue problem is obtained simply by replacing thedifferential operators in (8) with their stochastic counter-parts and assuming that the resulting equation holds forevery realization of ξ isin Γ In the variational form theproblem reads find functions u(t) Γ⟶ V andω2(t) Γ⟶ R such that for all ξ isin Γ we have

32 Eigenvalue Crossings In the context of stochastic ei-genvalue problems special care must be taken in order tomake sure that different realizations of the solution are infact comparable +is is true for shell eigenvalue problems inparticular since the eigenvalues of thin cylindrical shells aretypically tightly clustered Double eigenvalues may appeardue to symmetries and physical properties of the shell mightbe such that eigenvalues corresponding to different har-monic wavenumbers appear very close to each other Whenthe problems are brought to stochastic setting we may facethe issue of eigenvalue crossings +e ordering of the ei-genvalues associated with each mode may be different fordifferent realizations of the problem +is issue has pre-viously been illustrated in [11] and considered in the case ofshell eigenvalue problems in [15]

In our examples the eigenvalue crossings do not posecomputational difficulties When the problem is reducedthrough ansatz (14) or (15) the eigenmodes are separated bywavenumber K and as a result for any fixed K the eigen-values of the reduced problem appear well-separatedHowever one should bear in mind that the eigenvalues ofthe original 3D problem may still cross In Section 5 wepresent numerical examples which illustrate that a kthsmallest eigenvalue may be associated with eigenmodes withdifferent wavenumbers for different values of the stochasticvariables Moreover as revealed by the ansatz each eigen-value of the dimensionally reduced problem is actually as-sociated with an eigenspace of dimension two

33 e Spatially Discretized Eigenvalue Problem We em-ploy standard high-order finite elements with polynomialorder p isin N For any fixed tgt 0 the spatially discretizedproblem may be written as a parametric matrix eigenvalueproblem find λp Γ⟶ R and yp Γ⟶ Rn such that

S(ξ)yp(ξ) λp(ξ)M(ξ)yp(ξ) forallξ isin Γ (23)

where n is the dimension of the discretization space HereMand S are the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix whichobviously depend on ξ isin Γ For any fixed ξ isin Γ problem(23) reduces to a positive-definite generalized matrix ei-genvalue problem

We let langmiddot middotrangM(ξ) and middot M(ξ) denote the inner productand norm induced by the mass matrix We assume theeigenvector to be normalized according to yp(ξ)M(ξ) 1for all ξ isin Γ Moreover we fix its sign so that the innerproduct langyp(0) yp(ξ)rangM(ξ) where yp(0) is a suitable ref-erence solution is positive for every ξ isin Γ In practice wemay disregard the possibility that the inner product is zero

35 Stochastic Collocation on Partial Sparse Grids In theframework of this paper each collocation point in thestochastic space Γ corresponds to a single measurementconfiguration In contrast to idealized mathematical modelsthe range of practical measurement settings may be limitedto a small subset of Γ In this section we discuss one methodto carry out the analysis of the response statistics of a ran-dom field in a subset of Γ

We approach this problem from the viewpoint ofpolynomial interpolation In the following we assume forsimplicity that Γ [minus1 1]M Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 sub Γ

denote a set of collocation points and letB L1 LJ1113966 1113967JgeN be a set of orthogonal polynomial basis functions withrespect to the measure dμ satisfying

We assume that the basis functions in B are ordered indegree lexicographic order In particular L1 is constant

Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence of 1

Following [12] it turns out that the Vandermonde-likematrices related to the Smolyak interpolating polynomialsare remarkably well conditioned One may find a well-conditioned interpolating polynomial for a subset ofa sparse grid by proceeding in the following way

(i) Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 be a subset of a sparse gridX χ1 χJ1113966 1113967

(ii) Let B L1 LJ1113966 1113967 be the Smolyak polynomialbasis functions (cf [26])

(iii) Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence corre-sponding to the row indices of the maximum vol-ume submatrix of W (Li(χj))1leileJ1lejleN

+e use of the maximum volume submatrix ensures boththat the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is well definedand that system (45) is sufficiently well conditioned

In practical calculations finding the analytical maximumvolume submatrix is in general an NP-hard problemHowever there exist several algorithms in the literaturewhich can be used to find the approximate maximumvolume submatrix in a computationally efficient mannerWe use the MaxVol algorithm proposed in [27] A relatedalgorithm has been discussed in [28]

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

35 Stochastic Collocation on Partial Sparse Grids In theframework of this paper each collocation point in thestochastic space Γ corresponds to a single measurementconfiguration In contrast to idealized mathematical modelsthe range of practical measurement settings may be limitedto a small subset of Γ In this section we discuss one methodto carry out the analysis of the response statistics of a ran-dom field in a subset of Γ

We approach this problem from the viewpoint ofpolynomial interpolation In the following we assume forsimplicity that Γ [minus1 1]M Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 sub Γ

denote a set of collocation points and letB L1 LJ1113966 1113967JgeN be a set of orthogonal polynomial basis functions withrespect to the measure dμ satisfying

1113946ΓLi(ξ)Lj(ξ)dμ(ξ) 0 whenever ine j (28)

In addition we denote

ck 1113946ΓLk(ξ)

2dμ(ξ)1113874 1113875

12for k isin 1 J (29)

We assume that the basis functions in B are ordered indegree lexicographic order In particular L1 is constant

Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence of 1

2 J so that each element of β corresponds to one andonly one element of this set +en for any such subsequencewe can construct the Vandermonde-like matrix Vβ

(Li(χj))iisinβ1lejleN If Vβ is invertible then for any input f

Γ⟶ R we can set

c1 middot middot middot cN( 1113857 f χ1( 1113857 middot middot middot f χN( 1113857( 1113857Vminus1I (30)

so that the Lagrange interpolating polynomial

P(ξ) 1113944N

satisfies P(χi) f(χi) for all i isin 1 N If β1 1 thenthe expansion coefficients can be used to estimate the re-sponse statistics of f via

Following [12] it turns out that the Vandermonde-likematrices related to the Smolyak interpolating polynomialsare remarkably well conditioned One may find a well-conditioned interpolating polynomial for a subset ofa sparse grid by proceeding in the following way

(i) Let X χ1 χN1113864 1113865 be a subset of a sparse gridX χ1 χJ1113966 1113967

(ii) Let B L1 LJ1113966 1113967 be the Smolyak polynomialbasis functions (cf [26])

(iii) Let β (β1 βN) denote a subsequence corre-sponding to the row indices of the maximum vol-ume submatrix of W (Li(χj))1leileJ1lejleN

(iv) Form the Lagrange interpolating polynomialPf(ξ) 1113936

Ni1ciLβi

(ξ) where the coefficientsc1 cN isin R are obtained as in (30)

+e use of the maximum volume submatrix ensures boththat the Lagrange interpolation polynomial is well definedand that system (45) is sufficiently well conditioned

In practical calculations finding the analytical maximumvolume submatrix is in general an NP-hard problemHowever there exist several algorithms in the literaturewhich can be used to find the approximate maximumvolume submatrix in a computationally efficient mannerWe use the MaxVol algorithm proposed in [27] A relatedalgorithm has been discussed in [28]

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

minusω2M1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

1113954f(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

41 Frequency Response Analysis with Sparse Grids +ecollocation methods are invariant with respect to thequantity of interest and therefore the application to fre-quency response is straightforward

Let us consider four-dimensional second-orderSmolyak-Gauss-Legendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order Smolyak-Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature pointsXCC with 41 points Let (Pk)infink0 denote the standard or-thonormal univariate Legendre polynomials generated bythe three-term recursion

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

Material constants adopted for all simulations are E

51 Tower Configuration Free Vibration Our first exampleis an idealized wind turbine tower (Figure 2) We can applydimension reduction via ansatz as in Section 23 and arrive ata highly nontrivial shell-solid configuration Notice that inthis formulation we model the shell as a solid which iscomputationally feasible in 2D and the resulting systemscan be solved for different harmonic wavenumbers asoutlined above

+e tower is assembled with four parts a thin shell ofthickness t 1100 and vertical length of 11 units(x isin [minus1 10]) a top ring of height C1 25 and width 34and two base rings inner and outer ones of height D1 25and random widths W1 and W2 respectively An additionalsource of randomness comes from varying thickness of the

In Tables 1 and 2 we have listed statistics for eight of thesmallest eigenvalues of the tower configuration with thecorresponding wavenumberK Of interest is the pair of fourthand fifth smallest eigenvalues since the values are fairly closeto each other in other words they form a cluster Indeed if wetrack themodes over the parameter space we see that crossingoccurs ie different eigenmodes are associated with thefourth smallest eigenvalue for different realizations of theproblem Also notice that the actual squares of frequenciesvary (at least) within range [456230 457879] for K 4 withthe expected value 457240 +is means that in a multi-parametric setting the number of modes observed withina fixed range of frequencies is not necessarily constant overthe whole parameter space

+e effect of the manufacturing imperfection is illus-trated for the eigenmodes associated with K 1 in Figure 3High-localized variance in the computed displacementsmeans that the uncertainty in derived quantities of interestsuch as stresses is likely to be highest In Figure 3 we seethat the variance of the transverse deflection of the thirdeigenmode for K 1 is localized exactly at the thinnest part

52 Cylinder with Junctions Our second example is a cyl-inder with two junctions a T-junction with another cylinderand a cone extension at one end of the cylinder Since welimit ourselves to shells of revolution we remove theT-junction through clamped boundary conditions Here thesources of uncertainty are the random radius (diameter) ofthe circular T-junction ie a circular hole in our modelingD1 the slope of the cone ζ and Youngrsquos modulus +eradius of the cylindrical part is constant 1 and the di-mensionless thickness is constant t 1100 For the longcylinder the distance of the center of the hole to ends isL1 10π and the distance to the cone is L2 40π7 and forthe short one the lengths are simply scaled by 10 Fora schematic of the construction see Figure 4

4 Frequency Response Analysis

In frequency response analysis the idea is to study theexcitation or applied force in the frequency domain+erefore the uncertainty in the eigenproblem is directlytranslated to frequency response In the deterministic set-ting the procedure is as follows [29] starting from theequation of motion for the system

Meurox + C _x + Sx f (34)

whereM is the mass matrix C is the viscous damping matrixS is the stiffness matrix f is the force vector and x is thedisplacement vector In our context M and S are defined asmentioned above and the viscous damping matrix is taken tobe a constant diagonal matrix C 2δI where δ 12000

In the case of harmonic excitation a steady-state solu-tion is sought and the force and the corresponding responsecan be expressed as harmonic functions as

f 1113954f(ω)eiωt

x 1113954x(ω)eiωt(35)

Taking the first and second derivatives of equation (34)and substituting using (35) leads to

minusω2M1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ iωC1113954x(ω)eiωt

+ S1113954x(ω)eiωt

1113954f(ω)eiωt

(36)

thus reducing to a linear system of equations

minusω2M + iωC + S1113872 11138731113954x(ω) 1113954f(ω) (37)

Any quantity of interest can then be derived from thesolution 1113954x(ω) In the following we consider maximaltransverse deflections wmax as the quantity of interest

41 Frequency Response Analysis with Sparse Grids +ecollocation methods are invariant with respect to thequantity of interest and therefore the application to fre-quency response is straightforward

Let us consider four-dimensional second-orderSmolyak-Gauss-Legendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order Smolyak-Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature pointsXCC with 41 points Let (Pk)infink0 denote the standard or-thonormal univariate Legendre polynomials generated bythe three-term recursion

5 Numerical Experiments

In the numerical experiments at least one of the sources ofuncertainty is related to some geometric feature for instancediameter of a cylinder or local thickness of a shell In the finiteelement context this means that in order to compute statisticsover a set of solutions it is necessary to introduce somenominal domain onto which every other realization of thediscretized domain is mapped In a general situation thiscould be done via conformal mappings and in specific sit-uations as happens to be here the meshes can be guaranteedto be topologically equivalent ensuring errors only in theimmediate vicinity of the random parts of the domain

In Tables 1 and 2 we have listed statistics for eight of thesmallest eigenvalues of the tower configuration with thecorresponding wavenumberK Of interest is the pair of fourthand fifth smallest eigenvalues since the values are fairly closeto each other in other words they form a cluster Indeed if wetrack themodes over the parameter space we see that crossingoccurs ie different eigenmodes are associated with thefourth smallest eigenvalue for different realizations of theproblem Also notice that the actual squares of frequenciesvary (at least) within range [456230 457879] for K 4 withthe expected value 457240 +is means that in a multi-parametric setting the number of modes observed withina fixed range of frequencies is not necessarily constant overthe whole parameter space

+e effect of the manufacturing imperfection is illus-trated for the eigenmodes associated with K 1 in Figure 3High-localized variance in the computed displacementsmeans that the uncertainty in derived quantities of interestsuch as stresses is likely to be highest In Figure 3 we seethat the variance of the transverse deflection of the thirdeigenmode for K 1 is localized exactly at the thinnest part

indicating a highly likely location for failure of the tower+is is of course what we would expect

52 Cylinder with Junctions Our second example is a cyl-inder with two junctions a T-junction with another cylinderand a cone extension at one end of the cylinder Since welimit ourselves to shells of revolution we remove theT-junction through clamped boundary conditions Here thesources of uncertainty are the random radius (diameter) ofthe circular T-junction ie a circular hole in our modelingD1 the slope of the cone ζ and Youngrsquos modulus +eradius of the cylindrical part is constant 1 and the di-mensionless thickness is constant t 1100 For the longcylinder the distance of the center of the hole to ends isL1 10π and the distance to the cone is L2 40π7 and forthe short one the lengths are simply scaled by 10 Fora schematic of the construction see Figure 4

In Table 4 we have listed statistics for four of the smallesteigenvalues of the short and long cylinder configurations Inthis case the eigenvalues appear well separated Again thestatistics were verified by a Monte Carlo simulation of S

1000 samples A comparison of the results obtained byMonte Carlo and collocation algorithms has been presentedin Table 5 As discussed before we see from the figures inTable 5 that the errors between the two solutions fall wellwithin the tolerances of the Monte Carlo results

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the long cylinder withjunctions have been presented in Figure 6 +e long-rangelayer is clearly visible in the second third and fifth com-ponents +e effect of the cone junction is distinctly man-ifested in the statistics of the fourth component +estandard deviations of the two smallest eigenvalues areapproximately 62 and 50 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately021 and thus the eigenvalues at least appear to be wellseparated

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the short cylinderwith junctions have been presented in Figure 7 In thiscase we do not observe a separate long-range layer +eeffect of the cone junction is never the less apparent in thestatistics of the fourth component +e standard de-viations of the two smallest eigenvalues are now ap-proximately 31 and 49 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately024 and thus the eigenvalues again appear to be wellseparated

In Figure 8 the short-range effects of the T-junction havebeen highlighted +e statistics of the fifth component havebeen shown in vicinity of the junction for both cylinders+erelative strength of the long-range axial layer in the longcylinder can be observed whereas in the short cylinder theangular oscillatory layer is dominant In both configurationsthere is a hint of short-range axial layer emanating from thehole

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

In Tables 1 and 2 we have listed statistics for eight of thesmallest eigenvalues of the tower configuration with thecorresponding wavenumberK Of interest is the pair of fourthand fifth smallest eigenvalues since the values are fairly closeto each other in other words they form a cluster Indeed if wetrack themodes over the parameter space we see that crossingoccurs ie different eigenmodes are associated with thefourth smallest eigenvalue for different realizations of theproblem Also notice that the actual squares of frequenciesvary (at least) within range [456230 457879] for K 4 withthe expected value 457240 +is means that in a multi-parametric setting the number of modes observed withina fixed range of frequencies is not necessarily constant overthe whole parameter space

+e effect of the manufacturing imperfection is illus-trated for the eigenmodes associated with K 1 in Figure 3High-localized variance in the computed displacementsmeans that the uncertainty in derived quantities of interestsuch as stresses is likely to be highest In Figure 3 we seethat the variance of the transverse deflection of the thirdeigenmode for K 1 is localized exactly at the thinnest part

indicating a highly likely location for failure of the tower+is is of course what we would expect

52 Cylinder with Junctions Our second example is a cyl-inder with two junctions a T-junction with another cylinderand a cone extension at one end of the cylinder Since welimit ourselves to shells of revolution we remove theT-junction through clamped boundary conditions Here thesources of uncertainty are the random radius (diameter) ofthe circular T-junction ie a circular hole in our modelingD1 the slope of the cone ζ and Youngrsquos modulus +eradius of the cylindrical part is constant 1 and the di-mensionless thickness is constant t 1100 For the longcylinder the distance of the center of the hole to ends isL1 10π and the distance to the cone is L2 40π7 and forthe short one the lengths are simply scaled by 10 Fora schematic of the construction see Figure 4

We study both free vibration and frequency response forthis configuration

521 Free Vibration Let us first examine the lowest modesof the two structures Interestingly when comparing the twosubfigures of Figure 5 the colours indicate that indeed in thelong cylinder the long-range internal layer of 1

in the lowest mode However none of the shorter charac-teristic length scales have strong amplitudes in the transversedeflection in this case

In Table 4 we have listed statistics for four of the smallesteigenvalues of the short and long cylinder configurations Inthis case the eigenvalues appear well separated Again thestatistics were verified by a Monte Carlo simulation of S

1000 samples A comparison of the results obtained byMonte Carlo and collocation algorithms has been presentedin Table 5 As discussed before we see from the figures inTable 5 that the errors between the two solutions fall wellwithin the tolerances of the Monte Carlo results

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the long cylinder withjunctions have been presented in Figure 6 +e long-rangelayer is clearly visible in the second third and fifth com-ponents +e effect of the cone junction is distinctly man-ifested in the statistics of the fourth component +estandard deviations of the two smallest eigenvalues areapproximately 62 and 50 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately021 and thus the eigenvalues at least appear to be wellseparated

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the short cylinderwith junctions have been presented in Figure 7 In thiscase we do not observe a separate long-range layer +eeffect of the cone junction is never the less apparent in thestatistics of the fourth component +e standard de-viations of the two smallest eigenvalues are now ap-proximately 31 and 49 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately024 and thus the eigenvalues again appear to be wellseparated

In Figure 8 the short-range effects of the T-junction havebeen highlighted +e statistics of the fifth component havebeen shown in vicinity of the junction for both cylinders+erelative strength of the long-range axial layer in the longcylinder can be observed whereas in the short cylinder theangular oscillatory layer is dominant In both configurationsthere is a hint of short-range axial layer emanating from thehole

522 Frequency Response Analysis For the frequency re-sponse analysis of the short cylinder the load is chosento be F(x y) 1000 cos(y2)N and the angular fre-quency range is taken to be ω isin 2π 5 10 200 HzIn our analysis all modes are present no attempt tochoose for instance a subspace of lowest modes has beenmade

We first carry out the solution of the frequency responsestatistics subject to the abovementioned second-orderSmolyakndashGaussndashLegendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order SmolyakndashClenshawndashCurtis quadrature pointsXCC and then consider their respective subsets with 25points defined by setting

Let us first consider sparse grids XGL and XCC InFigure 9 we show two frequency response graphs where theexpected values of the quantity of interest the maximaltransverse deflection wmax are shown along standard de-viations It is clear that the frequency response is sensitive toperturbations to the parameters +e two point sets are nothierarchic and thus one cannot expect to get exactlyidentical responses Moreover distributions of the values of

the quantity of interest appear to be exponential +is isillustrated in Figure 10 +e maximal transverse deflectionwmax at any given frequency depends on how well the tail ofthe distribution is approximated

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

+e effect of the manufacturing imperfection is illus-trated for the eigenmodes associated with K 1 in Figure 3High-localized variance in the computed displacementsmeans that the uncertainty in derived quantities of interestsuch as stresses is likely to be highest In Figure 3 we seethat the variance of the transverse deflection of the thirdeigenmode for K 1 is localized exactly at the thinnest part

indicating a highly likely location for failure of the tower+is is of course what we would expect

52 Cylinder with Junctions Our second example is a cyl-inder with two junctions a T-junction with another cylinderand a cone extension at one end of the cylinder Since welimit ourselves to shells of revolution we remove theT-junction through clamped boundary conditions Here thesources of uncertainty are the random radius (diameter) ofthe circular T-junction ie a circular hole in our modelingD1 the slope of the cone ζ and Youngrsquos modulus +eradius of the cylindrical part is constant 1 and the di-mensionless thickness is constant t 1100 For the longcylinder the distance of the center of the hole to ends isL1 10π and the distance to the cone is L2 40π7 and forthe short one the lengths are simply scaled by 10 Fora schematic of the construction see Figure 4

We study both free vibration and frequency response forthis configuration

521 Free Vibration Let us first examine the lowest modesof the two structures Interestingly when comparing the twosubfigures of Figure 5 the colours indicate that indeed in thelong cylinder the long-range internal layer of 1

in the lowest mode However none of the shorter charac-teristic length scales have strong amplitudes in the transversedeflection in this case

In Table 4 we have listed statistics for four of the smallesteigenvalues of the short and long cylinder configurations Inthis case the eigenvalues appear well separated Again thestatistics were verified by a Monte Carlo simulation of S

1000 samples A comparison of the results obtained byMonte Carlo and collocation algorithms has been presentedin Table 5 As discussed before we see from the figures inTable 5 that the errors between the two solutions fall wellwithin the tolerances of the Monte Carlo results

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the long cylinder withjunctions have been presented in Figure 6 +e long-rangelayer is clearly visible in the second third and fifth com-ponents +e effect of the cone junction is distinctly man-ifested in the statistics of the fourth component +estandard deviations of the two smallest eigenvalues areapproximately 62 and 50 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately021 and thus the eigenvalues at least appear to be wellseparated

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the short cylinderwith junctions have been presented in Figure 7 In thiscase we do not observe a separate long-range layer +eeffect of the cone junction is never the less apparent in thestatistics of the fourth component +e standard de-viations of the two smallest eigenvalues are now ap-proximately 31 and 49 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately024 and thus the eigenvalues again appear to be wellseparated

In Figure 8 the short-range effects of the T-junction havebeen highlighted +e statistics of the fifth component havebeen shown in vicinity of the junction for both cylinders+erelative strength of the long-range axial layer in the longcylinder can be observed whereas in the short cylinder theangular oscillatory layer is dominant In both configurationsthere is a hint of short-range axial layer emanating from thehole

522 Frequency Response Analysis For the frequency re-sponse analysis of the short cylinder the load is chosento be F(x y) 1000 cos(y2)N and the angular fre-quency range is taken to be ω isin 2π 5 10 200 HzIn our analysis all modes are present no attempt tochoose for instance a subspace of lowest modes has beenmade

We first carry out the solution of the frequency responsestatistics subject to the abovementioned second-orderSmolyakndashGaussndashLegendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order SmolyakndashClenshawndashCurtis quadrature pointsXCC and then consider their respective subsets with 25points defined by setting

Let us first consider sparse grids XGL and XCC InFigure 9 we show two frequency response graphs where theexpected values of the quantity of interest the maximaltransverse deflection wmax are shown along standard de-viations It is clear that the frequency response is sensitive toperturbations to the parameters +e two point sets are nothierarchic and thus one cannot expect to get exactlyidentical responses Moreover distributions of the values of

the quantity of interest appear to be exponential +is isillustrated in Figure 10 +e maximal transverse deflectionwmax at any given frequency depends on how well the tail ofthe distribution is approximated

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

where ζ is the slope of the cone Finally the parameters ξ3and ξ4 correspond KarhunenndashLoeve basis functionsie terms E3(x) sin x and E4(x) sin 2x in the expan-sion (19) Again in each experiment the dimension of thestochastic space is M 4 and the random vector ξ isin Γ isobtained by scaling the geometric parameters to the interval[minus1 1] Both ends of the cylinder are clamped as well as theT-junction interface that is fully kinematically constrained+e p-version of FEM is used with p 3 resulting in a linearsystem with 41280 dof +e multiindex set isAL with L 2Per collocation point the time spent is approximately 60seconds 10 seconds for solution and 50 seconds forobtaining statistics

We study both free vibration and frequency response forthis configuration

521 Free Vibration Let us first examine the lowest modesof the two structures Interestingly when comparing the twosubfigures of Figure 5 the colours indicate that indeed in thelong cylinder the long-range internal layer of 1

in the lowest mode However none of the shorter charac-teristic length scales have strong amplitudes in the transversedeflection in this case

In Table 4 we have listed statistics for four of the smallesteigenvalues of the short and long cylinder configurations Inthis case the eigenvalues appear well separated Again thestatistics were verified by a Monte Carlo simulation of S

1000 samples A comparison of the results obtained byMonte Carlo and collocation algorithms has been presentedin Table 5 As discussed before we see from the figures inTable 5 that the errors between the two solutions fall wellwithin the tolerances of the Monte Carlo results

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the long cylinder withjunctions have been presented in Figure 6 +e long-rangelayer is clearly visible in the second third and fifth com-ponents +e effect of the cone junction is distinctly man-ifested in the statistics of the fourth component +estandard deviations of the two smallest eigenvalues areapproximately 62 and 50 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately021 and thus the eigenvalues at least appear to be wellseparated

Statistics of the first eigenmode for the short cylinderwith junctions have been presented in Figure 7 In thiscase we do not observe a separate long-range layer +eeffect of the cone junction is never the less apparent in thestatistics of the fourth component +e standard de-viations of the two smallest eigenvalues are now ap-proximately 31 and 49 percent of the respective expectedvalues +e ratio of the expected values is approximately024 and thus the eigenvalues again appear to be wellseparated

In Figure 8 the short-range effects of the T-junction havebeen highlighted +e statistics of the fifth component havebeen shown in vicinity of the junction for both cylinders+erelative strength of the long-range axial layer in the longcylinder can be observed whereas in the short cylinder theangular oscillatory layer is dominant In both configurationsthere is a hint of short-range axial layer emanating from thehole

522 Frequency Response Analysis For the frequency re-sponse analysis of the short cylinder the load is chosento be F(x y) 1000 cos(y2)N and the angular fre-quency range is taken to be ω isin 2π 5 10 200 HzIn our analysis all modes are present no attempt tochoose for instance a subspace of lowest modes has beenmade

We first carry out the solution of the frequency responsestatistics subject to the abovementioned second-orderSmolyakndashGaussndashLegendre quadrature points XGL and thesecond-order SmolyakndashClenshawndashCurtis quadrature pointsXCC and then consider their respective subsets with 25points defined by setting

Remark 1 We emphasise that if it were possible to identifyreal measurements as points in the grid with this approachone could augment simulations with real data and arrive atmore realistic interpolation operators

+is example underlines the fact that in multiparametricsituations it is always necessary to think in terms of dis-tributions and relate the observed statistics to them

6 Conclusions

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of

6 Conclusions

Multiparametric vibration problems and especially thoseinvolving thin domains are and remain challenging Wehave studied two vibration problems rooted in practice yetartificial in terms of the parametrization of the randommodel +e efficacy of the stochastic collocation has been

demonstrated and its extension to frequency responseanalysis has been demonstrated More specifically in thecontext of thin shells the boundary layers including internalones are shown to have the predicted characteristic lengthscales and their contribution to statistics such as variance isclearly illustrated in the results In vibration-related prob-lem the frequency response analysis the importance of
