Conforming radial point interpolation method for spatial shell structures on the stress-resultant shell theory

The implementation of the conforming radial point interpolation method (CRPIM) for spatial thick shell structures is presented in this paper. The formulation of the discrete system equations is derived from a stress-resultant geometrically exact theory of shear flexible shells based on the Cosserat surface. A discrete singularity-free mapping between the five degrees of freedom of the Cosserat surface and the normal formulation with six degrees of freedom is constructed by exploiting the geometry connection between the orthogonal group and the unit sphere. A radial basis function is used in both the construction of shape functions based on arbitrarily distributed nodes as well as in the surface approximation of general spatial shell geometries. The major advantage of the CRPIM is that the shape functions possess a delta function property and the interpolation function obtained passes through all the scattered points in the influence domain. Thus, essential boundary conditions can be easily imposed, as in finite element method. A range of shape parameters is studied to examine the performance of CRPIM for shells, and optimal values are proposed. The phenomena of shear locking and membrane locking are illustrated by presenting the membrane and shear energies as fractions of the total energy. Several benchmark problems for shells are analyzed to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the present CRPIM. The convergence rate of the results using a Gaussian (EXP) radial basis is relatively high compared to those using a multi-quadric (MQ) radial basis for the shell problems.     

A semi-analytical method with a system of decoupled ordinary differential equations for three-dimensional elastostatic problems

In this paper, a new semi-analytical method is presented for modeling of three-dimensional (3D) elastostatic problems. For this purpose, the domain boundary of the problem is discretized by specific subparametric elements, in which higher-order Chebyshev mapping functions as well as special shape functions are used. For the shape functions, the property of Kronecker Delta is satisfied for displacement function and its derivatives, simultaneously. Furthermore, the first derivatives of shape functions are assigned to zero at any given node. Employing the weighted residual method and implementing Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature, coefficient matrices of equations’ system are converted into diagonal ones, which results in a set of decoupled ordinary differential equations for solving the whole system. In other words, the governing differential equation for each degree of freedom (DOF) becomes independent from other DOFs of the domain. To evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method, which is called Decoupled Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (DSBFEM), four benchmark problems of 3D elastostatics are examined using a few numbers of DOFs. The numerical results of the DSBFEM present very good agreement with the results of available analytical solutions.

节点梯度光滑有限元配点法

配点法构造简单、计算高效, 但需要用到数值离散形函数的高阶梯度,而传统有限元形函数的梯度在单元边界处通常仅具有C$^{0}$连续性,因此无法直接用于配点法分析. 本文通过引入有限元形函数的光滑梯度,提出了节点梯度光滑有限元配点法. 首先基于广义梯度光滑方法,定义了有限元形函数在节点处的一阶光滑梯度值,然后以有限元形函数为核函数构造了有限元形函数的一阶光滑梯度,进而对一阶光滑梯度直接求导并用一阶光滑梯度替换有限元形函数的标准梯度,即完成了有限元形函数二阶光滑梯度的构造.文中以线性有限元形函数为基础的理论分析表明,其光滑梯度不仅满足传统线性有限元形函数梯度对应的一阶一致性条件,而且在均布网格假定下满足更高一阶的二阶一致性条件.因此与传统线性有限元法相比,基于线性形函数的节点梯度光滑有限元法的$L_{2}$和$H_{1}$误差均具有二次精度,即其$H_{1}$误差收敛阶次比传统有限元法高一阶, 呈现超收敛特性.文中通过典型算例验证了节点梯度光滑有限元配点法的精度和收敛性,特别是其$H_{1}$或能量误差的精度和收敛率都明显高于传统有限元法.

A local search algorithm for natural neighbours in the natural element method

A local basis algorithm for searching natural neighbours in Natural Element Method (NEM) is presented for solving the elasticity problems in this paper. Comparison with the global sweep algorithm used in natural element method or Natural Neighbour Method (NNM) for searching natural neighbours, the proposed algorithm is more expedient and convenient in the constructions and computation of natural neighbour interpolations. In the proposed NEM based on local search, the Laplace (non-sibson) interpolations are constructed with respect to the natural neighbour nodes of the given point which have been locally defined. The shape functions from the Laplace approximations have the delta function property and the Laplace interpolants are strictly linear between adjacent nodes, which facilitate imposition of essential boundary conditions and treatment of material discontinuity with ease as it is in the conventional finite element method. The Laplace interpolants derived from the local algorithm and the global algorithm in NEM are identical because of the uniqueness of the Voronoi diagram. Numerical results and convergence studies also show that the present NEM based on local search algorithm possesses the same accuracy and rate of convergence as they are in previous NEM.

A new curved gradient deficient shell element of absolute nodal coordinate formulation for modeling thin shell structures

A curved gradient deficient shell element for the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation (ANCF) is proposed for modeling initially thin curved structures. Unlike the fully parameterized elements of ANCF, a full mapping of the gradient vectors between different configurations is not available for gradient deficient elements, therefore it is cumbersome to work in a rectangular coordinate system for an initially curved element. In this study, a curvilinear coordinate system is adopted as the undeformed Lagrangian coordinates, and the Green–Lagrange strain tensor with respect to the curvilinear frame is utilized to characterize the deformation energy of the shell element. As a result, the strain due to the initially curved element shape is eliminated naturally, and the element formulation is obtained in a concise mathematical form with a clear physical interpretation. For thin structures, the simplified formulations for the evaluation of elastic forces are also given. Moreover, an approach to deal with the on-surface slope discontinuity is also proposed for modeling general curved shell structures. Finally, the developed element of ANCF is validated by several numerical examples.     

A mesh free method using rectangular pre-solved domains using Kronecker products

In this paper, a mesh free algorithm using large pre-solved domain is developed. Using the largest rectangle inside an arbitrary domain, a pre-solved rectangular domain is established using Kronecker product and graph theory rules. This pre-solved domain is efficiently inserted into the mesh free formulation of partial differential equations (PDEs) and engineering problems to reduce the computational complexity and execution time of the solution. The general solution of the pre-solved rectangular domain is formulated for second-order shape functions. The efficiency of the present algorithm depends on the relative size of the large rectangular domain and the main domain; however, the method remains as efficient as a standard method for even small relative sizes. For adaptive procedures with nonuniform density of distributed points in the domain, smaller (e.g. sub-maximal) rectangular domain can be used. The application of the method is demonstrated using some examples.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF WAVELET-BASED TRUNCATED CONICAL SHELL ELEMENT USING B-SPLINE WAVELET ON THE INTERVAL

Based on B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI), two classes of truncated conicalshell elements were constructed to solve axisymmetric problems, i.e. BSWI thin truncated conicalshell element and BSWI moderately thick truncated conical shell element with independent slope-deformation interpolation. In the construction of wavelet-based element, instead of traditionalpolynomial interpolation, the scaling functions of BSWI were employed to form the shape functionsthrough the constructed elemental transformation matrix,and then construct BSWI element viathe variational principle. Unlike the process of direct wavelets adding in the wavelet Galerkinmethod, the elemental displacement field represented by the coefficients of wavelets expansionwas transformed into edges and internal modes via the constructed transformation matrix. BSWIelement combines the accuracy of B-spline function approximation and various wavelet-basedelements for structural analysis. Some static and dynamic numerical examples of conical shellswere studied to demonstrate the present element with higher efficiency and precision than thetraditional element.
