Abstract
This paper proposes a novel selective element domain interpolation technique, named SI-ARS-Poly, to develop a high-performance spatially isotropic polygonal element for thick/thin plate analysis. In the SI-ARS-Poly approach, nodal assumed rotations on the element boundaries are directly computed at the mid-nodes of element edges by linearly approximating based on the first-order one-dimensional shape functions. Then, a selective interpolation scheme is applied to approximate the nodal assumed rotations and shear strains on element boundaries into the element domain using piecewise-linear-based first- and second-order shape functions. The proposed method passes spatially isotropic, zero-energy mode, and bending path tests, and exhibits a high performance with uniform and excellent convergent rates compared to existing methods.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
