    Resumo em Inglês:

    Abstract Fast calculations are widely required in the traditional applications and the emerging digital twin fields. For those considerations, a novel physics-based fast algorithm, namely generalized rotation-superposition method, is proposed for fast calculating linear elastic responses of generalized rotationally axisymmetric structures under arbitrary mechanical loads. This improved method breaks through the limitations of the previous basic rotation-superposition method in rotational similarity of load and structural axisymmetry, and greatly expands its application scope. In this paper, firstly, the basic theory of the rotation-superposition algorithm is introduced; secondly, the theoretical model of the generalized rotation-superposition method is established; thirdly, the effectiveness and accuracy are verified by using finite element simulations; finally, through a complex case study, the applicability of the generalized rotation-superposition method for complex engineering problems and its advantages in efficiently obtaining massive amounts of data are further illustrated.

    Abstract The results of finite element analysis of reinforced concrete Vierendeel sandwich plates (RCVSP) using beam-plate elements calculation model show a significant discrepancy with the actual results. Considering the structural characteristics of RCVSP and the calculation method of beam-elements, the assumption of the existence of nodal stiffness domain effects (NSDE) is proposed for its beam-plate elements calculation model. In order to verify this assumption, the existing experimental data of RCVSP is used to compare with the finite element analysis results of the beam-plate elements calculation model. The analysis results show that there is NSDE in the finite element analysis of RCVSP using beam-plate elements calculation model. The beam-elements calculation model FeaR1, which fully considers NSDE, can effectively restore the calculated stiffness lost. Compared with the solid-elements calculation model of RCVSP, the calculation model FeaR1 is more convenient for modeling, enhances computational efficiency, achieves the stiffness restoration rate of approximately 80%, and maintains the average error of no more than 16%.
