On the Adaptive Coupling of Finite Elements and Boundary Elements for Elasto-Plastic Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present an adaptive FEM-BEM coupling method that is valid for both twoand three-dimensional elasto-plastic analyses. The method takes care of the evolution of the elastic and plastic regions. It eliminates the cumbersome of a trial and error process in the identification of the FEM and BEM sub-domains in the standard FEM-BEM coupling approaches. The method estimates the FEM and BEM sub-domains and automatically generates/adapts the FEM and BEM meshes/sub-domains, according to the state of computation. The results for twoand threedimensional applications in elasto-plasticity show the practicality and the efficiency of the adaptive FEM-BEM coupling method.

متن کاملElasto-Plastic Finite Element Evaluation of Flexible Pavements Based on Shakedown Concept
In this paper, three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis was performed on flexible pavements under vertical repeated traffic loads to evaluate their shakedown behavior. Six different pavements with different structural number (SN) were modeled and subjected to a wide range of cyclic vehicle loads. Shakedown limits were obtained considering both failure and serviceability restrain...
متن کاملStrain based panel elements for shear wall analysis
The finite element method (FEM) can be applied to practically analyze the tall buildings in which the shear walls are used to resist the lateral loads. Accordingly, a variety of displacement and strain-based as well as frame macro elements have been proposed for analysis of the tall buildings. With respect to application of the lower order plane stress elements, analytical problems may arise wi...
