JuliaFEM beam element implementation

On the BEAM Implementation

Logic Programming is based on the idea that computation is controlled inference. The Extended Andorra Model provides a very powerful framework that supports both co-routining and parallelism [3]. In this work we report on the design of the first sequencial implementation for the Extended Andorra Model with Implicit Control, the BEAM [2]. The emphasis is put on the low-level infrastructures that...

On the Corotational Beam Element Formulation in Large Deformation Analysis

This paper sheds more light on the co-rotational element formulation for beams with uniform cross-section. The co-rotational elements are commonly used in problems in which a structure undergoes a large deformation. In this study, the foregoing element obeys the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions. Unlike the formulations presented in the literature, in this paper, a number of local nodal coordina...

Parallel Implementation of Fast Beam

A Linear Thick Curved Beam Element

Early attempts to derive curved beam and shell elements in a curvilinear system were dramatically unsuccessful. This was wrongly attributed to the failure of these elements to recover strain-free rigid body displacement modes in a curvilinear co-ordinate description. Recent evidence points to a ‘membrane locking’ phenomenon that arises when constrained strain fields corresponding to inextension...

Finite Element Analysis of the Bumper Beam

The main purpose of bumper is to absorb shock in case of a collision. Several materials have been used to develop these shock-absorbing capabilities, such as steel, aluminium, glass mat thermoplastics and sheet molding compound. The purpose of this project is to design a bumper which is to improve crashworthiness of the bumper beam. Crashworthiness is the ability of the bumper beam to prevent o...
