Download or read book Shell based Peridynamics for the Modelling of Isotropic and Composite Structures written by Ruqing Bai and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unveiling improvements in the nonlocal theory of the Peridynamics, this book brings recent developments and new extensions to the standard Peridynamic method, making it capable of solving shell-like structures, while keeping its character of a strong formulation based on the interactions between pairs of material points, called “Peridynamic bonds”. The proposed formulation is a natural extension of the standard continuum Peridynamics, allowing thin structures to be modelled using only one layer of particles at the mid-surface of the structure, contrary to the standard continuum Peridynamics. The book navigates the mechanics formulation of the Peridynamic Timoshenko beam and Reissner-Mindlin plate and presents breakthrough strategies for shear-locking in thin structures. Enhanced methods are introduced for analysing fibre-reinforced composites, offering precision in predicting damage patterns in composite structures when subjected to low and moderate velocity impacts.

Download or read book Handbook of Peridynamic Modeling written by Florin Bobaru and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook covers the peridynamic modeling of failure and damage. Peridynamics is a reformulation of continuum mechanics based on integration of interactions rather than spatial differentiation of displacements. The book extends the classical theory of continuum mechanics to allow unguided modeling of crack propagation/fracture in brittle, quasi-brittle, and ductile materials; autonomous transition from continuous damage/fragmentation to fracture; modeling of long-range forces within a continuous body; and multiscale coupling in a consistent mathematical framework.
Download or read book Finite Element Applications written by Michael Okereke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook demonstrates the application of the finite element philosophy to the solution of real-world problems and is aimed at graduate level students, but is also suitable for advanced undergraduate students. An essential part of an engineer’s training is the development of the skills necessary to analyse and predict the behaviour of engineering systems under a wide range of potentially complex loading conditions. Only a small proportion of real-life problems can be solved analytically, and consequently, there arises the need to be able to use numerical methods capable of simulating real phenomena accurately. The finite element (FE) method is one such widely used numerical method. Finite Element Applications begins with demystifying the ‘black box’ of finite element solvers and progresses to addressing the different pillars that make up a robust finite element solution framework. These pillars include: domain creation, mesh generation and element formulations, boundary conditions, and material response considerations. Readers of this book will be equipped with the ability to develop models of real-world problems using industry-standard finite element packages.

Download or read book Advanced Continuum Theories And Finite Element Analyses written by James D Lee and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume presents a unified framework of continuum theories. It indicates that (i) microcontinuum theories (micromorphic and micropolar theories) are natural extension of classical continuum mechanics, and (ii) classical continuum mechanics is a special case of microcontinuum theories when the deformable material point is idealized as a single mathematical point. The kinematics and basic laws are rigorously derived. Based on axiomatic approach, constitutive theory is systematically derived for various kinds of materials, ranging from Stokesian fluid to thermo-visco-elastic-plastic solid. Material force and Thermomechanical-electromagnetic coupling are introduced and discussed. Moreover, general finite element methods for large-strain thermomechanical coupling physical phenomena are systematically formulated. Also, non-classical continuum theories (Nonlocal Theory, Mechanobiology, 4D printing, Poromechanics, and Non-Self-Similar Crack Propagation) are rigorously formulated with applications and demonstrated numerically.As an advanced monograph, this unique compendium can also be used as a textbook for several graduate courses, including continuum mechanics, finite element methods, and advanced engineering science theories. Extensive problems are provided to help students to better understand the topics covered.
Download or read book Multiscale Optimization And Materials Design written by Jun Yan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a set of novel, efficient and systematic concurrent multiscale optimization methods by considering the distribution of the material in macro-scale and the unit-cell configuration design in micro-scale simultaneously. Different from the traditional optimization method that is performed in a single scale, the proposed methods could generate a great deal of improvements in structural performance through the multiscale structure-material concurrent optimum design.The proposed theory and methods are related to statics, dynamics, thermoelastics and the coupling of different physical fields. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive designing scheme when multiple factors are taken into account. For example, the designing scheme can have a great significance on enhancing the structural performances under coupled multi-physical fields, such as load bearing capacity, vibration resistance ability, and safety under thermal stress and so on.Several numerical examples are highlighted in this unique volume based on practical engineering applications. The examples collectively demonstrate drastically improved designs featuring excellent unit-cell configuration and highly regular macroscale material distribution in a variety of industrial applications.

Download or read book Peridynamic Differential Operator for Numerical Analysis written by Erdogan Madenci and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the peridynamic (PD) differential operator, which enables the nonlocal form of local differentiation. PD is a bridge between differentiation and integration. It provides the computational solution of complex field equations and evaluation of derivatives of smooth or scattered data in the presence of discontinuities. PD also serves as a natural filter to smooth noisy data and to recover missing data. This book starts with an overview of the PD concept, the derivation of the PD differential operator, its numerical implementation for the spatial and temporal derivatives, and the description of sources of error. The applications concern interpolation, regression, and smoothing of data, solutions to nonlinear ordinary differential equations, single- and multi-field partial differential equations and integro-differential equations. It describes the derivation of the weak form of PD Poisson’s and Navier’s equations for direct imposition of essential and natural boundary conditions. It also presents an alternative approach for the PD differential operator based on the least squares minimization. Peridynamic Differential Operator for Numerical Analysis is suitable for both advanced-level student and researchers, demonstrating how to construct solutions to all of the applications. Provided as supplementary material, solution algorithms for a set of selected applications are available for more details in the numerical implementation.

Download or read book Nonlocal Modeling Analysis and Computation written by Qiang Du and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of complexity, singularity, and anomaly using nonlocal continuum models are steadily gaining popularity. This monograph provides an introduction to basic analytical, computational, and modeling issues and to some of the latest developments in these areas. Nonlocal Modeling, Analysis, and Computation includes motivational examples of nonlocal models, basic building blocks of nonlocal vector calculus, elements of theory for well-posedness and nonlocal spaces, connections to and coupling with local models, convergence and compatibility of numerical approximations, and various applications, such as nonlocal dynamics of anomalous diffusion and nonlocal peridynamic models of elasticity and fracture mechanics. A particular focus is on nonlocal systems with a finite range of interaction to illustrate their connection to local partial differential equations and fractional PDEs. These models are designed to represent nonlocal interactions explicitly and to remain valid for complex systems involving possible singular solutions and they have the potential to be alternatives for as well as bridges to existing models. The author discusses ongoing studies of nonlocal models to encourage the discovery of new mathematical theory for nonlocal continuum models and offer new perspectives on traditional models, analytical techniques, and algorithms.
