2 SOURCES OF NON-INEARITY Geometry: Equilibrium equations should be satisfied in deformed geometry depending on displacement. Strain measures of large displacements are always nonlinear. the source to be considered here! Material: Constitutive equation g(,) u 0 may be non-linear. Near reference geometry, truncated Taylor series g ( g /)( /) 0 g u u gives a useful approximation. Contact and follower forces: Constitutive equation of external forces may be nonlinear. Even the simplest contact condition is one sided (inequality) and therefore nonlinear (linear combination of two solutions is not a solution). 4-

3 EXAMPE. Consider the structure of figure and determine the relationship between the vertical displacement of node (positive upwards) and force F acting on node. Assume that the force-length relationship (small strains and large displacements) is given by N EA( h / h 1) (EA is constant and h is the length when N 0). y x F y h Y h x α X Answer F EA 1 a sin a 1 (sin a) 0, where 1 a sin a u h a Y 4-3

4 Strain definition should not induce stress under rigid body motion of motion of a bar. Strain measure e h / h 1, based on the relative length change, satisfies the criterion. At the deformed geometry, when displacement is u Y, h h cos( I sin) h 1u aj sin h a Y h sin a h u u Y Y uy 1 a sin a h N EA( 1)( 1EA a sin a 1) h, where a u Y h. Virtual work expressions of external and internal forces for one bar element, written at the deformed geometry with length h, are ext W Fu Y and W int N h. As 4-4

5 the structure consists of two bars (internal parts of the bars are same by symmetry), virtual work expression of the structure 1 a sin a 1 W [ F (sin EA a) ] u Y 1 a sin a. Principle of virtual work and the fundamental lemma of variation calculus are valid also in large displacement analysis F 1 a sin a 1 (sin EA a) 0 1 a sin a. The remaining mathematical problem is to find a solution or solutions to the nonlinear algebraic equation. 4-5

6 FORCE-DISPACEMENT REATIONSHIP / 3 non-physical (unstable) F / EA a Numerical method may give mathematically correct but non-physical solutions in nonlinear elasticity. In practice, displacement (solution) may not depend continuously on the force (data). 4-6

7 BAANCE AWS OF MECHANICS; OCA FORMS Given the solution, u, V (usually u 0 ), the goal is to find a new solution, u, V when e.g. external given forces are changed. m 0 : J p F : f 0 p F : n t r V r V t M : c r V Z A constitutive equation f (,) u 0 Y deformed body u() brings the material details into the model. For an unique solution, a displacement boundary condition is needed somewhere on X O z y P V x V fdv tda z P V. O y x 4-7

8 The principle of virtual work PRINCIPE OF VIRTUA WORK W int ext W 0 u U 4-8 holds at the equilibrium. Therefore, the domain V corresponds to the deformed geometry. In practice, a mapping (depending on u ) is used so that integrals are over domain V of the reference geometry. A tda W int ( :)( c:) V dv V S E c dv V P W ext V ()() f u dv g u dv u V V gdv P W () t u da (not needed here) ext A A Also (in particularly) strain-displacement and stress-strain relationships of a more precise theory are non-linear! u 0

9 STRAIN MEASURES A rigid body motion should not induce strains! A proper strain measure with this respect is always non-linear in displacement components (small strain h h h) h inear strain 1 h Fc F () I u u c Green-agrange E 1 h [() 1] h ()() E Fc F I u u c u u c Superscript refers to the initial geometry and subscript c denotes conjugate dyad (kind of transpose). Deformation gradient F x I u is one of the key quantities of large c displacement theory. Material coordinate system of initial geometry is usually assumed to be Cartesian so that i / x j / y k / z. 4-9

10 GREEN-AGRANGE STRAIN MEASURE inear strain measure is just a simple example of the numerous useful definitions. The Green-agrange strain has the components (in the basis of the initial geometry) Exx ux, x ux, x u u u u u u E yy uy, y u y, y u u u u u u Ezz 1 uz, z uz, z 1 u u u u u u E xy ux, y u y, x u u u u u u E yz uy, z uz, y u u u u u u Ezx uz, x ux, z u u u u u u x, x x, x y, x y, x z, x z, x x, y x, y y, y y, y z, y z, y x, z x, z y, z y, z z, z z, z x, x x, y y, x y, y z, x z, y x, y x, z y, y y, z z, y z, z x, z x, x y, z y, x z, z z, x. Green-agrange E gives zero strain in a rigid body motion, whereas linear strain does not. inear strain can be taken as an approximation to E valid when strains and rotations of material elements are small! 4-10

11 INEARY EASTIC MATERIA Under the assumption of large displacement and small strains the Green-agrange strain measure does not differ much from the linear setting with small displacements and small strains. Constitutive equations Exx 1 Sxx 1 E yy 1 Syy C E 1 zz Szz and Exy Sxy 1 Eyz S yz, G Ezx Szx with material parameters C (which replaces E),, and G C /( ) are same as those of the linear case, are assumed to simplify the setting. Also, the uni-axial and two-axial (plane) stress and strain relationships follows just by using strains instead of engineering strains and C instead of E. 4-11

12 EXAMPE. Consider a bar whose left end is fixed and right end is free to move. Assuming that the displacement of the right end with respect to the horizontal initial geometry is given by ux (1) cos 1 sin x u y (1)sin cos 1 y y Y α h h x X (rotation with simultaneous length increase h h), determine the linear strain component xx and the Green-agrange strain component E xx. Answer 1 Exx when 1 and xx (1)cos 1 when 1 4-1

13 Partial derivatives of the displacement components are ux, x (1) cos 1 u y, x (1)sin and ux, y sin uy, y cos 1 inear and Green-agrange axial strain components xx ux, x (1)cos 1 and 1 1 Exx ux, x () ux, x uy, x. The former depends strongly on the rotation angle even when is small although pure rotation should not cause any strains. The latter does not depend on the rotation at all. Also, for small length changes, the Green-agrange strain is close to the relative change of length h / h. 4-13

20 In (geometrically) non-linear analysis, equilibrium equations are satisfied at the deformed geometry. Virtual work expressions of internal forces of the bar element and the point force are int h 1 h [() W h CA 1] h h and ext W Fu Y. For element 1, the relationship between the displacement components in the material coordinate system are u u sin and u u cos x Y y Y giving ( Y sin)( cos) Y + sin Y Y h u u u u, E xx 1 h 1 [() 1] asin a h (sin a) a where E xx a u Y. 4-0

22 EXAMPE 4.. Determine the nodal displacement uz and uz 3 of the bar structure shown. Use non-linear bar elements and linear approximations. Cross-sectional areas and length of the initial geometry are C 100Nm and external force F 0.05N. Answer uz and uz A 0.01m and 1m 1 Z x z 3 X 1. Elasticity parameter z x 4 F x z

23 The physically correct solution is just one of the mathematically correct solutions to the nodal displacements (in this case the number of solution is 6). The solver for nonlinear analysis returns a real solution with the minimal norm. In the example, when 1m, A 0.01m, C E 100Nm, and F 1/ 0 N: 4-3

24 4. EEMENT CONTRIBUTIONS Virtual work expressions for the elements combine virtual work densities of the model and an approximation depending on the element shape and type. To derive the expression for an element: Start with the large displacement versions of the virtual work densities ext w of the formulae collection. int w and 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 at the initial geometry to get W. 4-4

27 EXAMPE 4.3. A tetrahedron of edge length, density, and elastic properties C and is subjected to its own weight on a horizontal floor. Determine the equilibrium equation for the displacement uz 3 of node 3 with one tetrahedron element and linear approximation. Assume that u 3 u 3 0 and that the bottom surface is fixed and that X Y the geometry and density described is concerned with the initial geometry (gravity omitted). 3 Z,z g Answer: 1 (1 a)a(1 a) F 0 where F 1 1 g u and a Z C Y,y X,x 4-7

28 inear shape functions can be deduced directly from the figure N1 x /, N y /, N z, and N4 1 x / y / z /. Only the shape function of node 3 is 3 / actually needed as the other nodes are fixed. Approximations to the displacement components are u x z 1 uy 0 and uz uz 3, giving uz, x uz, y 0 and uz, z uz 3. When the approximation is substituted there, the non-zero Green-agrange strain component takes the form 1 1 E zz u Z 3 u 3 Z 1 1 Ezz uz 3 u Z 3 uz

35 It is noteworthy that PK does not represent the true stress in bar. The constitutive equation for the (true) axial force in terms of Green-agrange strain follows from the relationship between the Cauchy stress and PK stress.
