PARAMETRIC VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE BASED ELASTIC-PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF HETEROGENEOUS MATERIALS WITH VORONOI FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

The Voronoi cell finite element method (VCFEM) is adopted to overcome the limitations of the classic displacement based finite element method in the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials. The parametric variational principle and quadratic programming method are developed for elastic-plastic Voronoi finite element analysis of two-dimensional problems. Finite element formulations are derived and a standard quadratic programming model is deduced from the elastic-plastic equations. Influence of microscopic heterogeneities on the overall mechanical response of heterogeneous materials is studied in detail. The overall properties of heterogeneous materials depend mostly on the size, shape and distribution of the material phases of the microstructure. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the method developed.

On parametric minimum complementary energy variational principle in soil mechanics

The parametric minimum complementary energy variational principle is given in this paper. To the problems of nonassociative flow rule in the theory of plasticity, the Drucker postulation can no longer be applied and the classical variational principles fail, the parametric variation principles can play the role instead. The parametric variational principle can be used for the finite element solution with sequential quadratic programming method to soil mechanics problems.

Two methods of solving dynamic response by discretization of Gurtin variational principle

Based on the Gurtin variational principle and the finite element method two recurrence formulae of solving dynamic response are derived in this paper. The first recurrence formula which is conditionally stable is obtained by adopting “dual temporal finite element” to discretize the Gurtin variational principle and then making use of convolution, while the second, an unconditionally stable one derived by discritizing the variational principle in each time step and taking approprlate integration parameter θ. The paper had been accepted by the XVIth International Congress of IUTAM, Lyngby, Denmark, August, 1984.     

The random variational principle and finite element method

In this paper, we introduced the random materials, geometrical shapes, force and displacement boundary condition directly into the functional variational formulations and developed a unified random variational principle and finite element method with the small parameter perturbation method. Numerical examples showed that the methods have the advantages of the simple and convenient program implementation, and are effective for the random mechanics problems.     

Fuzzy variational principle and its applications

Linear and non-linear peaky fuzzy numbers and their arithmetic operations are constructed for the analysis of engineering structures with fuzzy characteristic quantities. Fuzziness of the corresponding quantities is consistently incorporated into the functional of the total potential energy. A set of deterministic recursive equations is obtained as the alternative expressions of the fuzzy variational principle by means of the second-order perturbation technique. The fuzzy Ritz method and the fuzzy finite element method are presented as the applications of the fuzzy variational principle. Accordingly, the roundabout procedures frequently used in the formulations of the fuzzy finite element method are avoided. A benchmark problem of a bending beam with fuzzy Young's modulus under fuzzy external loading is solved by the developed fuzzy numerical methods. Numerical examples show that results determined by these two fuzzy methods are both little conservative, and are in good agreement with those obtained by the analytical method. Moreover, the fuzzy Ritz method or the fuzzy finite element method can provide more valuable information than the conventional deterministic methods.
