From the Hu-washizu Formulation to the Average Nodal Strain Formulation
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a stabilized finite element method for the Hu-Washizu formulation of linear elasticity based on simplicial meshes leading to the stabilized nodal strain formulation or node-based uniform strain elements. We show that the finite element approximation converges uniformly to the exact solution for the nearly incompressible case.

Convergence in the incompressible limit of finite element approximations based on the Hu-Washizu formulation
The classical Hu-Washizu mixed formulation for plane problems in elasticity is examined afresh, with the emphasis on behavior in the incompressible limit. The classical continuous problem is embedded in a family of Hu-Washizu problems parametrized by a scalar α for which α = λ/μ corresponds to the classical formulation, with λ and μ being the Lamé parameters. Uniform well-posedness in the incom...
متن کاملIsogeometric analysis of thin Reissner-Mindlin plates and shells: Locking phenomena and generalized local $\bar{B}$ method
We propose a generalized local B̄ framework, addressing locking in degenerated Reissner-Mindlin plate and shell formulations in the context of isogeometric analysis. Parasitic strain components are projected onto the physical space locally, i.e. at the element level, using a least-squares approach. The formulation is general and allows the flexible utilization of basis functions of different ord...

The uniform convergence of finite element approximations based on a modified Hu-Washizu formulation for the nearly incompressible linear elasticity is analyzed. We show the optimal and robust convergence of the displacement-based discrete formulation in the nearly incompressible case with the choice of approximations based on quadrilateral and hexahedral elements. These choices include bases th...

In this paper, a generalized particle system (GPS) method, a general method to describe multiple strong form representation based particle methods is described. Gradient, divergence, and Laplacian operators used in various strong form based particle method such as moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method, smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH), and peridynamics, can be described by the GPS metho...
متن کاملA general discontinuous Galerkin method for finite hyperelasticity. Formulation and numerical applications
A discontinuous Galerkin formulation of the Boundary Value Problem of finite-deformation elasticity is presented. The method is based on a general Hu-Washizu-de Veubeke functional allowing for displacement and stress discontinuities in the domain interior. It is shown that this approach naturally leads to the formulation of average stress fluxes at interelement boundaries in a finite element im...
