Rotational invariants in finite element formulation of three-dimensional beam theories
This paper introduces a new finite element formulation of the ‘geometrically exact finite-strain beam theory’. The formulation employs the generalized virtual work principle. In the resulting governing equations of the beam, the strain vectors are the only unknown functions. The consistency condition that the equilibrium and the constitutive internal force and moment vectors are equal, is enfor...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Finite Element
Numerical modeling of electromagnetic nondestructive testing problems has become in the last few years common enough to be considered an integral part of the engineering design practice. In particular, eddy current modeling activity has been on the increase because of the benefits afforded by such models and their relative simplicity and availability. This is certainly true for two dimensional ...
متن کاملComputational and Programming Aspects of Transition Elements in a Three-dimensional Finite Element Program
The performance of any finite element (FE) structural analysis is directly related to the global number of nodes and degrees of freedom (DOF) of the discretized structure and mesh distribution attributes. It is obvious that the appropriate numerical analysis needs finer elements in the zone of interest, e.g. zone of high stress concentration and intensity, and coarser elements for farther porti...
متن کاملA Three Dimensional Finite Element Method for Biological Active Soft Tissue Formulation in Cylindrical Polar Coordinates
Abstract. A hyperelastic constitutive law, for use in anatomically accurate finite element models of living structures, is suggested for the passive and the active mechanical properties of incompressible biological tissues. This law considers the passive and active states as a same hyperelastic continuum medium, and uses an activation function in order to describe the whole contraction phase. T...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Finite Element Modeling of Stone Column-Improved Soft Saturated Ground
Installing stone columns in the ground is an effective improvement technique to increase the load bearing capacity and reduce the consolidation settlement of the loose or weak cohesive soils. In addition to the increase in the bearing capacity and reduction in the settlement, stone columns can accelerate the dissipation rate of the excess pore water pressure generated by the surcharge, which ex...
