โœฆ Synopsis

In the present contribution, an innovative brick element formulation for large deformation problems in ยฎnite elasticity is discussed. The new formulation can be considered as a reduced integration plus stabilization concept with the stabilization factors being computed on the basis of the enhanced strain method. Such an idea has not been applied yet in the context of large deformation 3D problems and leads to a surprisingly well-behaved lockingfree element formulation. Crucial to the method is the notion of the so-called equivalent parallelepiped. The major advantages of this element technology are its simplicity and robustness. Since the element quantities are evaluated only in the center of the element, the approach is also very ecient from the numerical point of view.

We consider the design of robust elements that can be used in hp codes for elasticity problems. Our goal is to identify an element that is free of locking for the case of a nearly incompressible material, both in terms of the h version and the p version. By this we mean that the displacements as wel

Multigrid is a popular solution method for the set of linear algebraic equations that arise from PDEs discretized with the รฟnite element method. The application of multigrid to unstructured grid problems, however, is not well developed. We discuss a method, that uses many of the same techniques as t

A two-dimensional ยฎnite element method is developed for large deformation plasticity. Principal axes are used for the description of the material behaviour, and the use of principal logarithmic stretches leads to exact formulae for ยฎnite deformation problems with large elastic and plastic strains.
