Unconstrained Finite Element for Geometrical Nonlinear Dynamics of Shells
This paper presents a positional FEM formulation to deal with geometrical nonlinear dynamics of shells. The main objective is to develop a new FEM methodology based on the minimum potential energy theorem written regarding nodal positions and generalized unconstrained vectors not displacements and rotations. These characteristics are the novelty of the present work and avoid the use of large ro...
متن کاملA simplified model for elastic thin shells
We introduce a simplified model for the minimization of the elastic energy in thin shells. This model is not obtained by an asymptotic analysis. The thickness of the shell remains a parameter as in Reisner-Mindlin’s model for plates and Koiter’s model for shells in the linear case. The simplified model admits always minimizers by contrast with the original one. We show the relevance of our appr...
متن کاملFinite Element Approximations of Nonlinear Elastic Waves
In this paper we study finite element methods for a class of problems of nonlinear elastodynamics. We discretize the equations in space using Galerkin methods. For the temporal discretization, the construction of our schemes is based on rational approximations of cosx and ex . We analyze semidiscrete as well as secondand fourth-order accurate in time fully discrete methods for the approximation...
متن کاملA Locking-free Three-node Shell Finite Element Formulation
A simple triangular shell finite element with fifteen degrees of freedom for the analysis of general shell structures is presented in this work. The element uses a substitute transverse shear strain field to avoid locking, and is formulated on the basis of RSDS-element (Resultant Stress Degenerated Shell Element) approach, which leads to very simple strain-displacement expressions. The substitu...
متن کاملFinite element analysis of deep beams on nonlinear elastic foundations
This research deals with the nonlinear material and geometric behaviors of reinforced concrete deep beams resting on linear or nonlinear Winkler foundation. The finite elements through ANSYS (Release-11, 2007) computer software are used. The reinforced concrete deep beam is modeled using (SOLID 65) 8 node brick element and the soil is modeled using linear spring (COMBIN 14) element or nonlinear...
