This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book focuses on the vibrational and nonlinear aspects of plate and shell structure dynamics by applying the finite element model. Specifically, shell finite elements employed in the computational studies included in this book are the mixed formulation based lower order flat triangular shell finite elements. Topics in the book are covered over nine chapters, including the theoretical background for the vibration analysis of plates and shells, vibration analysis of plate structures, shells with single curvature, shells with double curvatures, and box structures (single-cell and double-cell) and the theoretical development for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of plate and shell structures. In addition to presenting the steps in the derivations of the consistent element stiffness and mass matrices, constitutive relations of elastic materials and elasto-plastic materials with isotropic strain hardening, yield criterion, return mapping, configuration and stress updating strategies, and numerical algorithms are presented and discussed. The book is a suitable reference for advanced undergraduates and post-graduate level engineering students, research engineers, and scientists working in the field of applied physics and engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finite element procedure is presented for solving thin shell problems of arbitrary geometry and boundary conditions. The actual smoothly curved shell surface is approximated by the assemblage of flat triangular plate elements. Both the membrance stiffness and plate bending stiffness of the flat element are considered and it is assumed that there is no coupling between these two types of element stiffness properties. The element stiffness properties are derived from assumed displacement functions, and triangle area coordinates are used for the derivation. A quadratic displacement function for the tangential displacements in the triangular element is assumed and the membrance stiffness is derived according to this assumed displacement function. A complete fourth order displacement function is used to derive the flexural stiffness of the triangular element. Shell or plate which is supported by edge beams or is stiffened by stiffeners is discussed. The twisting and axial stiffnesses, the eccentricity and the bending stiffness of the beam element are all considered. Various numerical examples are presented. These examples demonstrate the versatility and the accuracy given by the finite element procedure presented in this study. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In general, triangular elements are most efficient to discretize arbitrary shell geometries. However, in shell finite element analysis, usually quadrilateral elements are used due to their better performance. Indeed, there does not exist yet a "uniformly optimal" triangular shell element. The work in this thesis focuses on the development of continuum mechanics based triangular shell elements (of low and high order) which overcome the known disadvantages and show uniform optimal convergence. As the shell thickness decreases, the behavior of shell structures falls into one of three categories (bending dominated, membrane dominated or mixed problems) depending on the shell geometry and the boundary conditions. We develop a numerical scheme to evaluate the behavior of shells and perform the asymptotic analysis of three shell structures. We also present the asymptotic analysis results of a highly sensitive shell problem which has a fluctuating load-scaling factor. These results provide basic information for effective numerical tests of shell finite elements. We develop a new systematic procedure for the strain interpolation of MITC triangular shell finite elements that results into spatially isotropic elements. We propose possible strain interpolations and develop five new specific triangular shell finite elements. Considering the asymptotic behavior of shells, numerical tests of the elements are performed for shell problems theoretically well chosen. We also review the basic shell mathematical model (published by Chapelle and Bathe) from which most mathematical shell models are derived. Using the basic shell mathematical model in the formulation of shell elements provides insight that can be very valuable to improve finite element formulations.
