چکیده

This paper details the development of the fixed grid FEA (FGFEA) method to the solution of eigenvalue (natural frequency and buckling) problems, using a 4 node 20 degree of freedom shell element. The formulation of the FG element stiffness, buckling and natural frequency equations is presented. The first natural frequency and buckling load are determined for the simply supported plate with a central circular void. The void is then offset to three further locations to asses the applicability of FGFEA eigenvalue analysis at reduced symmetry. A correlation trend is formed by comparison with traditional FEA results at nine increasingly refined mesh densities for each example. In addition to this, a relationship between the FGFEA error and the boundary element intersection angle with the void is formed. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. and Civil-Comp Ltd. All rights reserved.

Modified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method in the Analysis of 2D Linear Elastic Problems

In this paper, a modification on the fixed grid finite element method is presented and used in the solution of 2D linear elastic problems. This method uses non-boundary-fitted meshes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Special techniques are required to apply boundary conditions on the intersection of domain boundaries and non-boundary-fitted elements. Hence, a new met...

Modified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method to Solve 3D Elasticity Problems of Functionally Graded Materials

In the present paper, applicability of the modified fixed grid finite element method in solution of three dimensional elasticity problems of functionally graded materials is investigated. In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary condit...

Application of Decoupled Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method to Solve Eigenvalue Helmholtz Problems (Research Note)

A novel element with arbitrary domain shape by using decoupled scaled boundary finite element (DSBFEM) is proposed for eigenvalue analysis of 2D vibrating rods with different boundary conditions. Within the proposed element scheme, the mode shapes of vibrating rods with variable boundary conditions are modelled and results are plotted. All possible conditions for the rods ends are incorporated ...

Seepage Analysis through Rockfill Dams by Finite Element Method in a Fixed Gird

In this paper, Forchheimer equation is used as the constitutive equation for flow through rockfill, and the non-linear two-dimensional governing equation with free surface is solved by a new finite element method in a fixed grid. The model is verified by applying it to different flow conditions. The first scenario, which is assumed to be one-dimensional with analytical solution available for it...
