Book The Finite Element Analysis of Shells Fundamentals

Download or read book The Finite Element Analysis of Shells Fundamentals written by Dominique Chapelle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite element procedures. With a view towards the synergy that results from physical and mathematical understanding, the book focuses on the fundamentals of shell theories, their mathematical bases and finite element discretizations. The complexity of the physical behaviors of shells is analysed, and the difficulties to obtain uniformly optimal finite element procedures are identified and studied. Some modern finite element methods are presented for linear and nonlinear analyses. A state of the art monograph by leading experts.

Book Numerical Procedures for Analysis of Structural Shells

Download or read book Numerical Procedures for Analysis of Structural Shells written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation is undertaken of currently used discretization procedures in numerical analysis of structures. Emphasis is on the nonlinear behavior of thin shells and plates. It is found that the computer economy is extremely sensitive to the choice of element configuration. A proper balance between the order of the approximations of inplane and lateral displacements is important. The best finite element procedures are superior to finite differences for bifurcation buckling and for moderate nonlinearity. However, for shell collapse analysis the finite differences approach is quite superior to the finite elements. Suggestions are made for improvement of finite element technology for structures undergoing large rotations.

Book Refined Finite Element Analysis of Elastic plastic Thin Shells of Revolution

Download or read book Refined Finite Element Analysis of Elastic plastic Thin Shells of Revolution written by P. Sharifi and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A refined axisymmetric curved finite element for the analysis of thin elastic plastic shells of revolution is described in the report. The improved element is obtained by employing cubic polynomials for the assumed in-plane and out-of-plane displacements in terms of local Cartesian coordinates. This introduces into the solution two internal degrees of freedom in the cord direction of each element. These internal degrees of freedom are removed by static condensation before assembling the individual element stiffness matrices, and are subsequently recovered after the nodal displacements are obtained. On comparison with the previous formulation, this procedure greatly improves the accuracy of the solution especially with regards to inplane stress-resultants at discontinuities in the meridional curvature and interelement equilibrium of forces. The latter fact makes it possible to analyze shells with discontinuous meridional slope. In using this element, improvement in the convergence of the elastic-plastic solutions has been also observed. Complete listing of the modified program written in FORTRAN IV language is given. (Author).
