A Simple Linear Nonconforming Shell Element
A new low order facet type triangular shell finite element is presented. The element is combined from the Arnold-Falk plate bending element and the membrane element based on the noncorming element of Crouzeix-Raviart with conforming drilling rotation. Formulation of the membrane element is based on the variational principle of Hughes and Brezzi employing independent rotation field. Interpolatio...
متن کاملAnalysis of laminated composite plate/shell structures using a stabilized nodal- integrated quadrilateral element
A new simple and accurate four-node quadrilateral element is developed for linear static and dynamic analysis of thin to moderately thick laminated, anisotropic plate/shell structures within the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The element is built by incorporating the strain smoothing method of mesh-free conforming nodal integration into the conventional bilinear four-node quadrila...
متن کاملIntrinsic finite element modeling of a linear membrane shell problem
A Galerkin finite element method for the membrane elasticity problem on a meshed surface is constructed by using two-dimensional elements extended into three dimensions. The membrane finite element model is established using the intrinsic approach suggested by Delfour and Zolésio [8].
متن کاملQuadrilateral and Hexahedral Element Meshes
This chapter explains techniques for the generation of quadrilateral and hexahedral element meshes. Since structured meshes are discussed in detail in other parts of this volume, we focus on the generation of unstructured meshes, with special attention paid to the 3D case. Quadrilateral or hexahedral element meshes are the meshes of choice for many applications, a fact that can be explained emp...
متن کاملA locking-free Reissner-Mindlin quadrilateral element
On arbitrary regular quadrilaterals, a new finite element method for the Reissner-Mindlin plate is proposed, where both transverse displacement and rotation are approximated by isoparametric bilinear elements, with local bubbles enriching rotation, and a local reduction operator is applied to the shear energy term. This new method gives optimal error bounds, uniform in the thickness of the plat...
