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 Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Transverse Shear and Torsional Problems in Reinforced Concrete Shells

Download or read book Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Transverse Shear and Torsional Problems in Reinforced Concrete Shells written by Taira Yamamoto and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finite element formulations for reinforced concrete shell structures were improved and corroborated for transverse shear and torsional problems. A nonlinear finite element program for shells and plates, allowing for out-of-plane shear deformation, is based on the use of layered, isoparametric finite elements. The constitutive model for concrete compression response accounts for reductions in strength and stiffness due to presence of transverse cracks. The model used for concrete in tension represents the tension stiffening effects for reinforced areas, and tension softening effects for unreinforced or slightly reinforced areas. The tension softening model uses an average stress-strain approach based on the fracture energy. Three different series of tests an examined to verify the program: simple beans subjected to transverse shear, hollow beams subjected to torsion; and a scale model of offshore structures subjected to hydrostatic pressure. Excellent agreements were found between predicted and observed response for all three series of tests.

Book Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Transient Thermal Loads microform

Download or read book Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Transient Thermal Loads microform written by Cheng En Zhou and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results obtained from four numerical tests indicate that the proposed computational scheme and the implemented codes are accurate and reliable. The need to incorporate fire loads into reinforced concrete structural design has long been recognized, and the traditional design method for structural fire resistance has been widely practiced by engineers mainly because of its simplicity. To simulate the structure's response to thermal loads, this research develops and implements a 2D nonlinear finite element transient analysis for reinforced concrete structures subjected to high temperatures. The proposed computational scheme takes into account time-varying thermal loads, heat-of-hydration effects, and temperature-dependent material properties. Algorithms for calculating the closed-form element stiffness for a quadrilateral element with a fully-populated material stiffness are also developed. Then, the capability of a 2D nonlinear finite element transient thermal analysis is implemented into program VecTor2(c), a nonlinear analysis program for 2D reinforced concrete membranes.

Book Additional Finite Element Method for Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures at Limit States

Download or read book Additional Finite Element Method for Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures at Limit States written by Ermakova A.V. and published by Издательство АСВ. This book was released on 2012 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presents the theoretical basis of Additional Finite Element Method (AFEM), which is a variant of the Finite Element Method (FEM) for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state. AFEM adds to the traditional sequence of problem by FEM the units of the two well-known methods of the structural design: method of additional loads and limit state method. The problem is solved by introduction of ideal failure models and additional design diagrams formed from additional finite elements, where each AFE describes the limit state reached by the main element. The main relations defining the properties of AFEs as well as the examples of the use of Additional Finite Element Method for analysis of reinforced concrete structures at limit state are given in the work too.
