    Notes: Several mechanical models can be employed for the analysis of thin walled structures. A bending indicator is developed for a nonlinear adaptive process and applied to thin walled axisymmetric shell problems incorporating membrane and bending elements. If the structural response of the model including bending is available the error made by the reduced membrane model is easy to evaluate. Thus an indication for the bending has to be found from the structural response of the reduced membrane model. This is done by an approximation of the rotations of the membrane part of the structure and by an evaluation of the bending energy leading to the bending indicator with these approximated rotations. Finally a criterion for the change of the models is proposed based on the bending indicator and some examples are presented.

    Notes: Considers the problem of stability of the enhanced strain elements in the presence of large deformations. The standard orthogonality condition between the enhanced strains and constant stresses ensures satisfaction of the patch test and convergence of the method in case of linear elasticity. However, this does not hold in the case of large deformations. By analytic derivation of the element eigenvalues in large strain states additional orthogonality conditions can be derived, leading to a stable formulation, regardless of the magnitude of deformations. Proposes a new element based on a consistent formulation of the enhanced gradient with respect to new orthogonality conditions which it retains with four enhanced modes volumetric and shear locking free behaviour of the original formulation and does not exhibit hour-glassing for large deformations.

    Notes: Abstract A model introducing cohesive zones around material interfaces to simulate interfacial damage in microheterogeneous materials is developed. The material behavior within the cohesive zones is unknown a-priori, and is weakened, or "relaxed", on the continuum level from an initially undamaged state, by a reduction of the spatially variable elasticity tensor's eigenvalues. This reduction is initiated if constraints placed on the microstress fields, for example critical levels of pressure or deviatoric stresses, are violated. Outside of the cohesive zones the material is unaltered. Numerical computations are performed, employing the finite element method, to illustrate the approach in three dimensional applications.

    Notes: The standard plane 4-node element is written as the summation of a constant gradient matrix, usually obtained from underintegration, and a stabilization matrix. The split is based on a Taylor series expansion of element basis functions. In the incompressible limit, the ‘locking’-effect of the quadrilateral is traced back to the stabilization matrix which reflects the incomplete higher-order term in the Taylor series.The incompressibility condition is formulated in a weak sense so that the element displacement field is divergence-free when integrated over the element volume. The resulting algebraic constraint is shown to coincide with a particular eigenvector of the constant gradient matrix which is obtained from the first-order terms of the Taylor series. The corresponding eigenvalue enforces incompressibility implicitly by means of a penalty-constraint. Analytical expressions for that constant-dilatation eigenpair are derived for arbitrary element geometries. It is shown how the incompressible constraint carries over to the element stiffness matrix if the element stabilization is performed in a particular manner.For several classical and recent elements, the eigensystems are analysed numerically. It is shown that most of the formulations reflect the incompressible constraint identically. In the incompressible limit, the numerical accuracies of the elements are compared.

    Notes: A formulation for the plane 4-node quadrilateral finite element is developed based on the principle of virtual displacements for a deformable body. Incompatible modes are added to the standard displacement field. Then expressions for gradient operators are obtained from an expansion of the basis functions into a second-order Taylor series in the physical co-ordinates. The internal degrees of freedom of the incompatible modes are eliminated on the element level. A modified change of variables is used to integrate the element matrices.For a linear elastic material, the element stiffness matrix can be separated into two parts. These are equivalent to a stiffness matrix obtained from underintegration and a stabilization matrix.The formulation includes the cases of plane stress and plane strain as well as the analysis of incompressible materials. Further, the approach is suitable for non-linear analysis. There, an application is given for the calculation of inelastic problems in physically non-linear elasticity.The element is efficient to implement and it is frame invariant. Locking effects and zero-energy modes are avoided as well as singularities of the stiffness matrix due to geometric distortion. A high accuracy is obtained for numerical solutions in displacements and stresses.

    Notes: A class of enhanced strain four-node elements with Taylor expansion of the shape function derivatives is presented. A new concept of enhancement using besides the ‘standard’ enhanced strain fields also two other enhanced fields is developed on the basis of the Hu-Washizu principle. For first-order Taylor expansion enhanced modes become uncoupled, thus only a negligible amount of computing effort for the static condensation of enhanced modes is needed. Furthermore, the formulation permits a symbolic integration, which leads to a closed-form solution for the element tangent matrix. Several numerical examples show that the element is stable, invariant, passes the patch test and yields good results especially in the highly distorted regime. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: This paper looks at the numerical characteristics of penalty methods for evaluating the solution of symmetric systems of equations with imposed constraints. The sources of error resulting from this approach are identified and an estimate for the penalty parameter that minimizes this error is obtained. The results of the error analysis and the effect of penalty parameter on the accuracy and rates of convergence of the solution algorithm are demonstrated with the aid of some numerical examples.
