i wanted to perform random vbration of an assembly where it has viscoelastic material like seat cushion where i need to obtain transmissibility at driver sear inerface with base excitation input(PSD) under the seat can any one help me with similar example or suggests card

Dear Rahull,

 

See if these presentations can serve as some help.

 

This paper introduced a set of new features of LS-DYNA  for solving frequency domain vibration and acoustic problems.  They included random vibration and fatigue analysis, frequency response function, steady state dynamics, response spectrum analysis and BEM/FEM acoustics.  Some examples were given to illustrate how to use these features.  The objective of implementing these features was to provide users the capabilities to deal with frequency domain vibration and acoustic problems, which are very common in auto and aerospace industries and many other industries:

Benchmark solutions were provided showing how LS-DYNA handles the basic linear normal modes analyses using standard finite elements (beams, plates, solids and rigid links) with a comparison to an industry standard Nastran solver:

A large composite shipping container was analyzed for drop, impact, PSD random vibration and general stress analysis. The main shell of the container was a glass-fiber vacuum infused composite with closures made of aluminum. The progressive composite failure was modeled using *MAT_054 (multiple sets of fiberglass data included). The Mortar contact was used for both implicit and explicit simulations:

Thanks a lot, James. I really appreciate your help and references.

 I had problem using the  *frequency cards, i am not able to identify which one to use as my input is in PSD and I need the output Transmissibility. with different cards *frequency 
_randon_vibration
SSd
Response_spectrum

apart from this its very confusing for me in the cards, where to choose the input (PSD) and obtain output.

it will be of great help if you can adress this issue.


Thanks 
have a nice evening.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear Rahul,

 

Please take a look at the examples found here:

 

https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/huang/examples/random.vibration.fatigue/

 

I would thing that you could remove the FATIGUE components and you should have

the base DOMAIN_RANDOM_VIBRATION input/output:

 

*FREQUENCY_DOMAIN_RANDOM_VIBRATION_{OPTION}

 

Available options include:

<BLANK>, FATIGUE

 

Purpose: Set random vibration control options. When the FATIGUE keyword option is

used, compute fatigue life of structures or parts under random vibration (see Remark 2).

 

2. Fatigue. MSTRES must be set to 1 in the keyword *CONTROL_IMPLICIT_-

EIGENVALUE for the FATIGUE keyword option because the fatigue analysis

is depends on stresses.

 

-----------------------------------------

 

I believe that you could modify this entry plus remove other various cards involving

FATIGUE option  (from one of the examples cited in above link):
