Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures: de Borst/Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis of Solids and Structures

TL;DR: De Borst et al. as mentioned in this paper present a condensed version of the original book with a focus on non-linear finite element technology, including nonlinear solution strategies, computational plasticity, damage mechanics, time-dependent effects, hyperelasticity and large-strain elasto-plasticity.

An h-p adaptive method using clouds

TL;DR: It is shown how h, p and h- p adaptivity can be implemented in the h-p cloud method without traditional grid concepts typical of finite element methods.

Isogeometric shell analysis with Kirchhoff–Love elements

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear Kirchhoff-love shell element is developed on the basis of the isogeometric approach, which is discretized by displacement degrees of freedom only.
Journal ArticleDOI

On a stress resultant geometrically exact shell model. Part II: the linear theory; computational aspects

TL;DR: In this article, a discrete canonical, singularity-free mapping between the five and the six degree of freedom formulation is constructed by exploiting the geometric connection between the orthogonal group (SO(3)) and the unit sphere (S2).
Journal ArticleDOI

An Isogeometric design-through-analysis methodology based on adaptive hierarchical refinement of NURBS, immersed boundary methods, and T-spline CAD surfaces

TL;DR: It is shown that hierarchical refinement considerably increases the flexibility of this approach by adaptively resolving local features of NURBS, which combines full analysis suitability of the basis with straightforward implementation in tree data structures and simple generalization to higher dimensions.

Reduced integration technique in general analysis of plates and shells

TL;DR: In this article, a simple extension is made which allows the element to be economically used in all situations by reducing the order of numerical integration applied to certain terms without sacrificing convergence properties.

A simple quadrilateral shell element

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a new four-noded quadrilateral shell element called QUAD4, which is based on isoparametric principles with modifications which relax excessive constraints.

Derivation of element stiffness matrices by assumed strain distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, a strain field is assumed and then related to nodal displacements by line integration of the strain field along straight line segments between pairs of nodal points, and the result was not an unqualified success in that the element does not pass the patch test for arbitrary shape, even though it eliminates the locking phenomenon observed in some applications of the corresponding reduced shear isoparametric element.
