2 WHY FINIE EEMENS AND IS HEORY? Design of machines and structures: Solution to stress or displacement by analytical method is often impossible due to complex geometry, heterogeneous material etc. ack of the exact solution to an approximate problem is not an issue in engineering work. Finite element method is the standard of solid mechanics: Commercial codes in common use are based on the finite element method. A graphical user interface may make living easier, but a user should always understand what the problem is and in what sense it is solved! Finite element method has a strong theory: Although approximate solution is acceptable, knowing nothing about the error is not acceptable. -

For an unique solution, a displacement boundary condition is needed somewhere on V. -7

Using these, one may deduce the uni-axial, and two-axial (plane) stress and strain relationships. -8

10 PRINCIPE OF VIRUA WORK Principle of virtual work W W int W ext 0 u U is just one form of the balance laws of continuum mechanics.

12 . DISPACEMEN ANAYSIS Model the structure as a collection of beam, plate, etc. elements. Derive the element contributions W e and express the nodal displacement and rotation components of the material coordinate system in terms of those in the structural coordinate system. Sum the element contributions to end up with the virtual work expression of the structure W e E W e. Re-arrange to get the standard form W a (Ka F). Use the principle of virtual work W 0 a, fundamental lemma of variation calculus for a n, and solve for the unknown nodal displacement and rotation components from the system equations Ka F 0. -

15 SRUCURA AND MAERIA SYSEMS In a particle model, the particles are identified by natural numbers (or labels). In a continuum model, the particles are identified by coordinates ( x, y, z ) of the material coordinate system which moves and deforms with the body. y structural 4 ri O X rp i Y ra Z material x A z AP P body Structural ( X, Y, Z ) coordinate system is needed in the description of geometry. -5

16 SIGN CONVENIONS AND NOAIONS In MEC-E800 displacements, rotations, forces and moments are treated as vectors and, therefore, components are positive in the directions of the chosen coordinate axes. he convention may differ from that used in mechanics of materials courses (be careful). Displacement Force Rotation Moment Material ux, u y, uz Fx, Fy, Fz x, y, z Mx,M y,mz Structural u X, uy, uz FX, FY, FZ X, Y, Z M X, MY, M Z he basis vectors of the material and structural systems are i, j, k and I, J, K, respectively! -6

25 . EEMEN CONRIBUIONS Virtual work expressions for solid, beam, plate elements combine virtual work densities representing the model and a case dependent approximation. o derive the expression for an element: Start with the virtual work densities w and w of the formulae collection (if not int ext available there derive the expression in the manner discussed in MEC-E050). Represent the unknown functions by interpolation of the nodal displacement and rotations (see formulae collection). Substitute the approximations into the density expressions. Integrate the virtual work density over the domain occupied by the element to get W. -5

26 EEMEN APPROXIMAION In MEC-E800 element approximation is a polynomial interpolant of the nodal displacement and rotations in terms of shape functions. In displacement analysis, shape functions depend on x, y, z and the nodal values are parameters to be evaluated by FEM. always of the same form! Approximation u N a Shape functions N {N ( x, y, z ) N ( x, y, z ) N n ( x, y, z )} Parameters a {a a a n } Nodal parameters a {u x, u y, u z, x, y, z } may be just displacement or rotation components or a mixture of them (as with the Bernoulli beam model). -6

30 inear shape functions can be deduced directly from the figure N x /, N y /, N 3 z /, and N 4 x / y / z /. However, only the shape function of node 3 is needed as the other nodes are fixed. Approximations to the displacement components are u 0, v 0, and w z uz 3, giving w, x w, y 0 and w, z uz 3. When the approximation is substituted there, the virtual work densities of the internal and external forces simplify to 0 E wvint 0 w ( )( ),z E ( ) uz 3 uz 3 0 ( )( ) w, z
