Abstract
A mechanical model and numerical method for the simultaneous analysis of Reissner–Mindlin shells with geometries implied by a continuous set of level sets (isosurfaces) over some three-dimensional bulk domain is presented. A three-dimensional mesh in the bulk domain is used in a tailored FEM formulation where the elements are by no means conforming to the level sets representing the shape of the individual shells. However, the shell geometries are bounded by the intersection curves of the level sets with the boundary of the bulk domain so that the boundaries are meshed conformingly. This results in a method which was coined Bulk Trace FEM before. The simultaneously considered, continuously embedded shells may be useful in the structural design process or for the continuous reinforcement of bulk domains. Numerical results confirm higher-order convergence rates.
本文介绍了一种力学模型和数值方法,用于同时分析在某个三维体域上具有连续水平集(等值面)隐含几何形状的赖斯纳-明德林壳。体域中的三维网格用于量身定制的有限元公式,其中的元素绝不符合代表单个壳体形状的水平集。不过,壳体几何形状以水平集与体域边界的交点曲线为界,因此边界的网格是符合要求的。这就产生了一种以前被称为 "Bulk Trace FEM "的方法。同时考虑的连续嵌入壳体可能在结构设计过程中或对体域进行连续加固时非常有用。数值结果证实了高阶收敛率。
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering publishes original papers describing significant, novel developments in numerical methods that are applicable to engineering problems.
The Journal is known for welcoming contributions in a wide range of areas in computational engineering, including computational issues in model reduction, uncertainty quantification, verification and validation, inverse analysis and stochastic methods, optimisation, element technology, solution techniques and parallel computing, damage and fracture, mechanics at micro and nano-scales, low-speed fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction, electromagnetics, coupled diffusion phenomena, and error estimation and mesh generation. It is emphasized that this is by no means an exhaustive list, and particularly papers on multi-scale, multi-physics or multi-disciplinary problems, and on new, emerging topics are welcome.
