1 1 BENDNG OF BEAMS MNDLN THEORY 1 1 Bending of beams Mindlin theory Cross-section kinematics assumptions Distributed load acts in the xz plane, which is also a plane of symmetry of a body Ω v(x = 0 m Vertical displacement does not vary along the height of the beam (when compared to the value of the displacement w(x = w(x. The cross sections remain planar but not necessarily perpendicular to the deformed beam axis u(x = u(x, z = ϕ y (xz

2 2 STRAN-DSPLACEMENT EQUATONS 2 These hypotheses were independently proposed by Timoshenko [6], Reissner [5] and Mindlin [4]. J. Bernoulli J.-L. Lagrange C.-L. Navier R.-D. Mindlin B. F. de Veubeke 2 Strain-displacement equations Cross-section kinematics assumptions imply that only non-zero strain components are ε x (x = u(x x γ zx (x = w(x x = x (ϕ y(xz = + u(x z dϕ y(x z = κ y(xz = dw(x + z (ϕ y(xz = dw(x + ϕ y(x,

This leads to conditions ( dq z (x 0 = δw(x + f z (x, ( dm y (x 0 = δϕ y (x Q z (x, which are to be satisfied for all δw(x and δϕ y (x compatible with the kinematic boundary conditions.

On the level of whole structure, we collect the unknowns into vectors of deflections r w and rotations r ϕ.

Derive explicit relations for matrices K ww, K wϕ, K ϕw, K ϕϕ 8 Shear locking For h/l 0, the response of a Mindlin theory-based element should approach the classical slender beam (negligible shear effects. f the basis functions N w a N ϕ are chosen as piecewise linear, resulting response in too stiff excessive influence of shear terms, sc. shear locking.

15 8 SHEAR LOCKNG 15 The approximate solution must be able to correctly reproduce the pure bending mode, see [3, Section 3.1]: κ y (x = dϕ y(x For the given discretization ( w(x w 1 1 x L ( ϕ y (x ϕ 1 1 x L = κ = const γ zx (x = dw(x + ϕ y(x = 0 + w 2 x L + ϕ 2 x L The requirement of zero shear strain leads to dw(x 1 L (w 2 w 1 dϕ y (x 1 L (ϕ 2 ϕ 1 γ zx (x 1 L (w 2 w 1 + ϕ 1 + x L (ϕ 2 ϕ 1 = 0. Therefore, the previous relation must be independent of the x coordinate ϕ 2 ϕ 1 = 0 κ y 1 L (ϕ 2 ϕ 1 = 0 κ

16 9 SELECTVE NTEGRATON 16 9 Selective integration The shear strain is assumed to be constant on a given interval, its value is derived from the value in the center of an interval γ zx (x 1 L (w 2 w 1 +ϕ (ϕ 2 ϕ 1 = 1 L (w 2 w (ϕ 1 + ϕ 2 Kinematics: the element behaves correctly, it enables to describe the pure bending mode. Statics: Q z (x = k(xg(xa(xγ xz (x constant, M y constant the Schwedler condition is not severely violated. 10 Bubble (hierarchical function t follows from analysis of the kinematics that the shear locking is caused by insufficient degree of polynomial approximation of the dis-

Approximation of the w displacement not based not only on the values of deflections nodal, but also on the values of nodal rotations [2] sc. linked interpolation.

19 11 METHOD OF LAGRANGE MULTPLERS Method of Lagrange multipliers Recall the weak form of the bending moment equilibrium equations (8 for a beam with with M y = 0, constant values of E, G and a rectangular cross-section. 0 = E y = E bh d(δϕ y (x d(δϕ y (x E 2(1 + ν bh dϕ y (x d(δϕ y (x dϕ y (x ( dw(x δϕ y (x dϕ y (x ν + kga 1 h 2 + ϕ y(x ( dw(x δϕ y (x ( dw(x δϕ y (x / 12 Ebh 3 + ϕ y(x + ϕ y(x = 0 The condition of zero shear strain for h 0 is imposed via the sc. penalty term.

20 11 METHOD OF LAGRANGE MULTPLERS 20 For slender beams and linear-linear approximation this leads to the shear locking as {}}{ 1 h 2 arbitrary {}}{ δϕ y (x 0 for all x ({}} { dw(x + ϕ y(x = 0. f we introduce a new independent variable for imposing the condition γ xz = 0 for h 0, we suppress influence of the choice of approximation of unknowns w(x a ϕ y (x. Therefore, we have to add an additional condition to weak equilibrium equations (7 (8 ( δλ(x γ zx (x dw(x ϕ y(x = 0, (9 where γ(x is now a new variable independent of w and ϕ y and δλ(x is the corresponding weight function.

21 11 METHOD OF LAGRANGE MULTPLERS 21 Constitutive equations for the shear force Q z now simplify as Q z (x = k(xg(xa(xγ xz (x. Weak form of equilibrium of equations can now be rewritten as 0 = d(δw(x k(xg(xa(xγ zx (x [ δw(xq z (x ] p δw(xf z (x d(δϕ y (x 0 = E(x y (x dϕ y(x + δϕ y (xk(xg(xa(xγ zx (x [ δϕ y (xm y (x ] p ( 0 = δλ(x γ zx (x dw(x ϕ y(x Observe that is we choose the weight function in the specific form δλ(x = k(xg(xa(xδγ xz (x,

22 11 METHOD OF LAGRANGE MULTPLERS 22 we will finally obtain a symmetric stiffness matrix K. The last equation now can be modified as ( 0 = δγ xz (xk(xg(xa(x γ zx (x dw(x The additional variable γ xz needs to be discretized γ xz (x N γ (xr γ ϕ y(x. and inserted into the weak form of equilibrium equations. This yields, after standard manipulations, the following system of linear equations K ww K wϕ K wγ r w R w K ϕw K ϕϕ K ϕγ r ϕ = R ϕ K γw K γϕ K γγ r γ 0 The stiffness matrix, resulting from this discretization, is larger only virtually. t can be observed that parameters r γ only internal and can

23 11 METHOD OF LAGRANGE MULTPLERS 23 be eliminated (expressed via variables r w and r ϕ ; see, e.g. [1, pp ] for more details. This formulation works even for piecewise linear approximation of w and ϕ y ; it suffices to approximate γ as a piecewise constant on an element. Kinematics: shear locking avoided due to (9. Statics: the shear force Q z bending moment M y. is again (piecewise constant, so is the Homework 3. Derive the element stiffness matrix based on Lagrange multipliers. Assume the linear approximation of deflections w(x, linear approximation of rotations ϕ y (x and constant values of γ xz on a given elements. Show that this procedure yields results identical to the reduced integration and linked interpolation.
