Lecture 7: 2D & 3D Solid Elements; Plane Stress/Strain Conditions

Om kurset

Topics: Two- and three-dimensional solid elements; plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric conditions Isoparametric interpolations of coordinates and displacements Consistency between coordinate and displacement interpolations Meaning of these interpolations in large displacement analysis, motion of a material particle Evaluation of required derivatives The Jacobian transformations Details of strain-displacement matrices for total and updated Lagrangian formulations Example of 4-node two-dimensional element, details of matrices used Instructor: Klaus-Jürgen Bathe
