This book was released on 2012 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of shells structure represents one of the most challenging fields in many applications. This work presents the linear and nonlinear analysis of thin shell structures based on finite element eight nodes degenerated shell element which have five degrees of freedom per each node. A geometric nonlinear formulation based on the total Lagrangian formulation and using both geometric strains (Engineering Strains) and Green's strains was adopted in this work and the formulations were implemented into a nonlinear finite element program NONLAS. The solution of nonlinear equations is obtained by combining a step-by-step incremental/iterative procedure and the Modified Newton-Raphson method. The capability of the formulation is demonstrated by numerical examples and the results are compared with available solutions.

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.

This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 1069 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to using energy principles and variational methods for solving problems in solid mechanics This book provides a systematic, highly practical introduction to the use of energy principles, traditional variational methods, and the finite element method for the solution of engineering problems involving bars, beams, torsion, plane elasticity, trusses, and plates. It begins with a review of the basic equations of mechanics, the concepts of work and energy, and key topics from variational calculus. It presents virtual work and energy principles, energy methods of solid and structural mechanics, Hamilton’s principle for dynamical systems, and classical variational methods of approximation. And it takes a more unified approach than that found in most solid mechanics books, to introduce the finite element method. Featuring more than 200 illustrations and tables, this Third Edition has been extensively reorganized and contains much new material, including a new chapter devoted to the latest developments in functionally graded beams and plates. Offers clear and easy-to-follow descriptions of the concepts of work, energy, energy principles and variational methods Covers energy principles of solid and structural mechanics, traditional variational methods, the least-squares variational method, and the finite element, along with applications for each Provides an abundance of examples, in a problem-solving format, with descriptions of applications for equations derived in obtaining solutions to engineering structures Features end-of-the-chapter problems for course assignments, a Companion Website with a Solutions Manual, Instructor's Manual, figures, and more Energy Principles and Variational Methods in Applied Mechanics, Third Edition is both a superb text/reference for engineering students in aerospace, civil, mechanical, and applied mechanics, and a valuable working resource for engineers in design and analysis in the aircraft, automobile, civil engineering, and shipbuilding industries.

This book was released on 1977 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included in this report are the analytical results of a plane strain large displacement analysis of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to nonuniform external pressure. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the ultimate load capacities and hence, the design margins of safety of the shell structure for both the static and the dynamic loading conditions. The finite element method was used to solve the numerical problem. For dynamic analysis, the implicit Houbolt operator was utilized to perform the time integration. All numerical computations were accomplished using the nonlinear finite element program MARC. The analysis is one of the tasks required for the technical assistance program ''Safety Margin Associated with Containment Structures Under Dynamic Loading.''
