Polygonal finite elements for finite elasticity
Nonlinear elastic materials are of great engineering interest, but challenging to model with standard fi nite elements. The challenges arise because nonlinear elastic materials are characterized by nonconvex stored-energy functions as a result of their ability to undergo large reversible deformations, are incompressible or nearly incompressible, and often times possess complex microstructures. ...
متن کاملConforming polygonal finite elements
In this paper, conforming finite elements on polygon meshes are developed. Polygonal finite elements provide greater flexibility in mesh generation and are better-suited for applications in solid mechanics which involve a significant change in the topology of the material domain. In this study, recent advances in meshfree approximations, computational geometry, and computer graphics are used to...
متن کاملIntegration within Polygonal Finite Elements
Engineering mechanics formulations of aerospace industry problems overwhelmingly rely upon spatial averaging techniques. Crucial applications in the area of dynamic response analysis and stochastic estimation of material degradation can be cited as important cases. Integration procedures on finite domains underlie physically acceptable averaging processes. Unlike one-dimensional cases, integral...
متن کاملCohesive Finite Element Modeling of Mouse Bone Fracture
INTRODUCTION A fracture mechanics based approach has been recently proposed to measure the changes in fracture toughness of small animal bones due to aging, disease, and treatments for osteoporosis [1-3]. In contrast to standard strength tests, such tests require a smaller sample size [2] and provide a measure of material level changes [2,3]. Here we present a complementary computational approa...
متن کاملFinite-deformation Irreversible Cohesive Elements for Three-dimensional Crack-propagation Analysis
We develop a three-dimensional nite-deformation cohesive element and a class of irreversible cohesive laws which enable the accurate and e cient tracking of dynamically growing cracks. The cohesive element governs the separation of the crack anks in accordance with an irreversible cohesive law, eventually leading to the formation of free surfaces, and is compatible with a conventional nite elem...
