Abstract
In this research, a total Lagrangian Galerkin free element method (GFrEM) is proposed for the analysis of finite deformation in hyperelastic materials. This method derives the total Lagrangian formulation using the initial configuration as the reference. The mechanical behavior of hyperelastic materials is modeled by the non-Hookean strain energy function. Since Lagrangian isoparametric elements are freely formed in GFrEM by collocation nodes with their surrounding nodes, intrinsic boundary conditions can be imposed simply as in the finite elements method. In addition, the Galerkin method was used to ensure the stability of the results when constructing the equations for each collocation node. The validity and convergence of the proposed method are verified by several two- and three-dimensional numerical examples that include bending, compression, and torsion of hyperelastic materials. The example of nearly incompressible material shows that GFrEM remains highly accurate even with large deformations where the FEM cannot converge.
期刊介绍:
Applied Mathematical Modelling focuses on research related to the mathematical modelling of engineering and environmental processes, manufacturing, and industrial systems. A significant emerging area of research activity involves multiphysics processes, and contributions in this area are particularly encouraged.
This influential publication covers a wide spectrum of subjects including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, CFD, and transport phenomena; solid mechanics and mechanics of metals; electromagnets and MHD; reliability modelling and system optimization; finite volume, finite element, and boundary element procedures; modelling of inventory, industrial, manufacturing and logistics systems for viable decision making; civil engineering systems and structures; mineral and energy resources; relevant software engineering issues associated with CAD and CAE; and materials and metallurgical engineering.
Applied Mathematical Modelling is primarily interested in papers developing increased insights into real-world problems through novel mathematical modelling, novel applications or a combination of these. Papers employing existing numerical techniques must demonstrate sufficient novelty in the solution of practical problems. Papers on fuzzy logic in decision-making or purely financial mathematics are normally not considered. Research on fractional differential equations, bifurcation, and numerical methods needs to include practical examples. Population dynamics must solve realistic scenarios. Papers in the area of logistics and business modelling should demonstrate meaningful managerial insight. Submissions with no real-world application will not be considered.
