Isogeometric Analysis for Nonlinear Dynamics of Timoshenko Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of beams that undergo large displacements is analyzed in frequency domain and comparisons between models derived by isogeometric analysis and p-FEM are presented. The equation of motion is derived by the principle of virtual work, assuming Timoshenko’s theory for bending and geometrical type of nonlinearity. As a result, a nonlinear system of second order ordinary differential equations is obtained. Periodic responses are of interest and the harmonic balance method is applied. The nonlinear algebraic system is solved by an arc-length continuation method in frequency domain. It is shown that IGA gives better approximations than the p-FEM when models with the same number of degrees of freedom are used.

متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
