Refined hybrid degenerated shell element for geometrically non-linear analysis

Based on a variational principle with relaxed inter-element continuity requirements, a refined hybrid quadrilateral degenerated shell element GNRH6, which is a non-conforming model with six internal displacements, is proposed for the geometrically non-linear analysis. The orthogonal approach and non-conforming modes are incorporated into the geometrically non-linear formulation. Numerical results show that the orthogonal approach can improve computational efficiency while the non-conforming modes can eliminate the shear/membrane locking phenomenon and improve the accuracy. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Geometrically non-linear analysis of composite structures with integrated piezoelectric sensors and actuators

This paper deals with the geometrically non-linear analysis of thin plate/shell laminated structures with embedded integrated piezoelectric actuators or sensors layers and/or patches. The motivation for the present developments is the lack of studies in the behavior of adaptive structures using geometrically non-linear models, where only very few published works were found in the open literature.

The model is based on the Kirchhoff classical laminated theory and can be applied to plate and shell adaptive structures with arbitrary shape, general mechanical and electrical loadings.

The finite element model is a non-conforming single layer triangular plate/shell element with 18 degrees of freedom for the generalized displacements and one electrical potential degree of freedom for each piezoelectric layer or patch.

An updated Lagrangian formulation associated to Newton–Raphson technique is used to solve incrementally and iteratively the equilibrium equations.

The model is applied in the solution of four illustrative cases, and the results are compared and discussed with alternative solutions when available.     

Non-linear coupled multi-field mechanics and finite element for active multi-stable thermal piezoelectric shells

In this paper, a coupled multi-field mechanics framework is presented for analyzing the non-linear response of shallow doubly curved adaptive laminated piezoelectric shells undergoing large displacements and rotations in thermal environments. The mechanics incorporate coupling between mechanical, electric and thermal fields and encompass geometric non-linearity effects due to large displacements and rotations. The governing equations are formulated explicitly in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates and are combined with the kinematic assumptions of a mixed-field shear-layerwise shell laminate theory. A finite element methodology and an eight-node coupled non-linear shell element are developed. The discrete coupled non-linear equations of motion are linearized and solved, using an extended cylindrical arc-length method together with a Newton–Raphson technique, to enable robust numerical predictions of non-linear active shells transitioning between multiple stable equilibrium paths. Validation and evaluation cases on laminated cylindrical strips and cylindrical panels demonstrate the accuracy of the method and its robust capability to predict non-linear response under thermal and piezoelectric actuator loads. Moreover, the results illustrate the capability of the method to model piezoelectric shells undergoing large shape changes by actively jumping between stable equilibrium states and quantify the strong relationship between shell curvature, applied electric potential, applied temperature differential and induced shape change.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF THIN COMPOSITE SHELLS EXPERIENCING NON-LINEAR ELASTIC DEFORMATIONS COUPLED WITH LARGE AND RAPID OVERALL MOTIONS

This study presents a transient non-linear finite element analysis within the realm of a multibody dynamics formalism. The governing equations are derived using the concept of virtual work. Unlike others, this analysis includes the non-linear strain measure and rotation explicitly in order to capture the correct dynamic stiffening in anisotropic shells. The finite element analysis invokes the co-rotational form of the updated Lagrangian formulation and utilizes a flat shell element.     

A STRAIN-AND-DISPLACEMENT-BASED VARIATIONAL METHOD APPLIED TO GEOMETRICALLY NON-LINEAR SHELLS

A geometrically non-linear hybrid nine-node finite 2D-shell element is presented. The theoretical formulation is based on a Reissner functional in strains and displacements. The increments of which are interpolated with respect to different spatially fixed triads: both the displacement and rotation increments in the material frame (global rectangular Cartesian) and the Green–Lagrange-strain increments in a suitably chosen local rectangular Cartesian in the centroid of the considered element in the reference configuration. Corresponding transformations then deliver the components on the shell mid-surface. Although a single element possesses one spurious zero-energy mode, an assemblage performs excellently (also in comparison with a full-rank element).     

Hybrid stress finite element model for non-linear shell problems

The present paper describes a hybrid stress finite element formulation for geometrically non-linear analysis of thin shell structures. The element properties are derived from an incremental form of Hellinger-Reissner's variational principle in which all quantities are referred to the current configuration of the shell. From this multi-field variational principle, a hybrid stress finite element model is derived using standard matrix notation. Very simple flat triangular and quadrilateral elements are employed in the present study. The resulting non-linear equations are solved by applying the load in finite increments and restoring equilibrium by Newton-Raphson iteratioin. Numerical examples presented in the paper include complete snap-through buckling of cylindrical and spherical shells. It turns out that the present procedure is computationally efficient and accurate for non-linear shell problems of high complexity.     

Linear and Geometrically nonlinear analysis of plates and shells by a new refined non-conforming triangular plate/shell element

A refined non-conforming triangular plate/shell element for linear and geometrically nonlinear analysis of plates and shells is developed in this paper based on the refined non-conforming element method (RNEM). A conforming triangle membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom in Cartesian coordinates and the refined non-conforming triangular plate-bending element RT9, in which Kirchhoff kinematic assumption was adopted, are used to construct the present element. The displacement continuity condition along the interelement boundary is satisfied in an average sense for plate analysis, and the coupled displacement continuity requirement at the interelement is satisfied in an average sense, thereby improving the performance of the element for shell analysis. Selectively reduced integration with stabilization scheme is employed in this paper to avoid membrane locking. Numerical examples demonstrate that the present element behaves quite satisfactorily either for the linear analysis of plate bending problems and plane problems or for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin plates and shells with large displacement, moderate rotation but small strain.

A free-formulation-based flat shell element for non-linear analysis of thin composite structures

A flat shell element based on the free-formulation finite element concept is developed for analysing geometrically non-linear thin composite shells. A corotational form of the updated Lagrangian formulation is utilized. Numerical results for typical validation problems are presented in order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of this element. These results are obtained by solving the incremental equilibrium equations through the cylindrical arc-length method.
