TLDR
An enrichment procedure able to address 3D local behaviors, preserving the direct minimally-invasive coupling with existing plate and shell discretizations is proposed and will be extended to inelastic behaviors and structural dynamics.Abstract:
Most of mechanical systems and complex structures exhibit plate and shell components. Therefore, 2D simulation, based on plate and shell theory, appears as an appealing choice in structural analysis as it allows reducing the computational complexity. Nevertheless, this 2D framework fails for capturing rich physics compromising the usual hypotheses considered when deriving standard plate and shell theories. To circumvent, or at least alleviate this issue, authors proposed in their former works an in-plane-out-of-plane separated representation able to capture rich 3D behaviors while keeping the computational complexity of 2D simulations. However, that procedure it was revealed to be too intrusive for being introduced into existing commercial softwares. Moreover, experience indicated that such enriched descriptions are only compulsory locally, in some regions or structure components. In the present paper we propose an enrichment procedure able to address 3D local behaviors, preserving the direct minimally-invasive coupling with existing plate and shell discretizations. The proposed strategy will be extended to inelastic behaviors and structural dynamics.read more

A discrete element method for the analysis of plane elasto-plastic stress problems
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure for the analysis of plane stress problems when yielding occurs locally was developed for the case when the region is divided into triangular elements and the deformation is analysed on a step-by-step basis, using the matrix notation developed by Argyris.

TL;DR: This work proposes an alternative interpolation and simulation strategy by using physically-based morphing of spaces that will transform the uncompatibe physical domains of the problem’s solution into a compatible one, where an interpolation free of artifacts can be performed.
