Appropriate Loading Techniques in Finite Element Analysis of Underground Structures
Stability of underground structures is assessed by comparing rock strength with induced stresses resulted from ground stresses. Rock mass surrounding the opening may fail either by fracture or excessive deformation caused. Accurate calculation of induced stresses is therefore fundamental in the stability analysis of an opening. Although numerical methods, particularly finite element method, are...
متن کاملReducing Computational and Memory Cost of Substructuring Technique in Finite Element Models
Substructuring in the finite element method is a technique that reduces computational cost and memory usage for analysis of complex structures. The efficiency of this technique depends on the number of substructures in different problems. Some subdivisions increase computational cost, but require little memory usage and vice versa. In the present study, the cost functions of computations and me...
متن کاملPerformance Boundaries for Interactive Finite Element Applications
This paper presents work characterizing finite element performance boundaries within which live, interactive finite element modeling is feasible on current and emerging systems. These results are based on wide-ranging tests performed using a prototype finite element program implemented specifically for this study, thereby enabling the unified investigation of numerous direct and iterative solve...
متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures
The finite element method is a numerical method for obtaining approximate solutions for boundary value problems that are defined in terms of a set of governing mathematical equations, boundary and/or initial conditions, constitutive laws and other secondary relations such as the strain-displacement relations. In general, any one of a number of different principles (e.g., virtual work principle,...
متن کاملA Simple Finite Element Procedure for Free Vibration and Buckling Analysis of Cracked Beam-Like Structures
In this study, a novel and very simple finite element procedure is presented for free vibration and buckling analysis of slim beam-like structures damaged by edge cracks. A cracked region of a beam is modeled using a very short element with reduced second moment of area (I). For computing reduced I in a cracked region, the elementary theory of bending of beams and local flexibility approach are...
