Finite Element Mesh Optimization in Three Dimensions
We discuss an optimization procedure for improving three-dimensional finite element meshes. Our method can be effectively coupled with any automatic mesh generator in order to obtain a triangulation without badly distorted elements. In this way, we are able to weaken the requirements on the generator, allowing it to produce singular elements, and post-process the result to get a valid mesh. Eve...
متن کاملFinite Element Modeling of Delamination Crack Propagation in Laminated Composites
Finite element analysis of the delamination crack propagation in laminated composites is presented. Fracture mechanics based Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT), and the cohesive element technique, have been used to simulate the delamination initiation and propagation under Mode-I type loading. Detailed description of the parameter selection process for these two techniques with ABAQUS®/Stan...
متن کاملMesh Optimization and Multilevel Finite Element Approximations
Mesh reduction techniques are used for accelerating the visualization process for large datasets. Typical examples are scalar or vector valued functions deened on complex 2 or 3 dimensional meshes. Grosso et al. presented a method for mesh optimization based on nite elements approximations with the L2 norm and adaptive local mesh reenement. Starting with a very coarse triangulation of the funct...
متن کاملFinite Element Modeling of Crack Initiation Angle Under Mixed Mode (I/II) Fracture
Present study deals with the prediction of crack initiation angle for mixed mode (I/II) fracture using finite element techniques and J-Integral based approach. The FE code ANSYS is used to estimate the stress intensity factor numerically. The estimated values of SIF were incorporated into six different crack initiation angle criteria to predict the crack initiation angle. Single edge crack spec...
متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
