    On the Calibration of the Electrical Potential Technique for Monitoring Crack Growth Using Finite Element Methods

    Ritchie, R. O.; Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen. Source: J. of Fracture, v 15, 47-55, 1979.

    ISSN: 0376-9429 (print); 1573-2673 (online)

    Publisher: Springer

    Abstract: Finite element analysis procedures are utilized to provide theoretical calibration curves for the electrical potential crack-monitoring system as applied to single-edge-notch (SEN) and compact tension (CT) fracture specimens. The results are compared to existing calibrations for such test piece geometries derived using experimental, electrical analog and analytical (conformal mapping) procedures.

    Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen; Khoshgoftaar, Mohammad R. Source: J. Nuclear Engineering and Design, v 51, 389-401, 1979.

    ISSN: 0029-5493 (print); 1872-759X (online)

    Publisher: Elsevier Science B.V.

    Abstract: A general and effective finite element formulation for analysis of nonlinear steady-state and transient heat transfer is presented. Heat conduction conditions, and convection and radiation boundary conditions are considered. The solutions of the incremental heat transfer equations is achieved using Newton-Raphson iteration, and in transient analysis using a one-step α-family time integration scheme. The stability and accuracy of the time integration is discussed. The solution techniques have been implemented, and the results of various sample solutions are discussed and evaluated.

    Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Abstract: An updated Lagrangian and a total Lagrangian formulation of a three-dimensional beam element are presented for large displacement and large rotation analysis. It is shown that the two formulations yield identical element stiffness matrices and nodal point force vectors, and that the updated Lagragian formulation is computationally more effective. This formulation has been implemented and the resulted of some sample analyses are given.

    Abstract: An effective solution procedure for the finite element analysis of free surface seepage problems is presented. The solution algorithm employs a non-linear permeability description of the material and avoids iteration with the finite element mesh. The results and experiences obtained in the analyses of some problems are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the technique.

    Publisher: Elsevier Ltd

    Abstract: Finite element procedures for the dynamic analysis of fluid-structure systems are presented and evaluated. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid and compressible and is described using an updated Lagrangian formulation. Variable-number-nodes isoparametric two- and three-dimensional elements with lumped or consistent mass idealization are employed in the finite element discretization, and the incremental dynamic equilibrium equations are solved using explicit or implicit time integration. The solution procedures are applied to the analysis of a number of fluid-structure problems including the nonlinear transient analysis of a pipe test.

    Abstract: The nonlinear dynamic finite element solution of pipe whip problems is presented. The finite element modelling used, the step-by-step incremental solution of the nonlinear equations of motion and design considerations are discussed. The influence of various physical parameters on the response of the pipe and the restraint, and the effects of using different finite element models are considered. Specific emphasis is directed to the verification of the accuracy of the solutions obtained using energy balance checks.

    Elastic-Plastic Large Deformation Static and Dynamic Analysis

    Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen; Ozdemir, Haluk. Source: J. Computers & Structures, v 6, no. 2, 81, 1976.

    ISSN: 0045-7949 CODEN: CMSTCJ

    Publisher: Elsevier Ltd

    Abstract: The problem of formulating and numerically implementing finite element elastic-plastic large deformation analysis is considered. In general, formulations can use different kinematic descriptions and assumptions in the material law, and analysis results can vary by a large amount. In this paper, starting from continuum mechanics principles, two consistent formulations for elastic-plastic large deformation analysis are presented in which either the initial configuration or the current configuration is used for the description of static and kinematic variables. The differences between the formulations are clearly identified and it is established that, depending on the elastic-plastic material description, identical numerical results can be obtained. If, in practice, certain constitutive transformations are not included, the differences in the analysis results are relatively small in large displacement but small strain problems. The formulations have been implemented and representative sample analyses of large deformation response of beams and shells are presented.

    Finite Element Formulations for Large Deformation Dynamic Analysis

    Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen; Ramm, Ekkehard.; Wilson, Edward L.. Source: International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, v 9, 353-386, 1975.

    ISSN: 0029-5981 CODEN: IJNMBH

    Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Abstract: Starting from continuum mechanics principles, finite element incremental formulations for non-linear static and dynamic analysis are reviewed and derived. The aim in this paper is a consistent summary, comparison, and evaluation of the formulations which have been implemented in the search for the most effective procedure. The general formulations include large displacements, large strains and material non-linearities. For specific static and dynamic analyses in this paper, elastic, hyperelastic (rubber-like) and hypoelastic elastic-plastic materials are considered. The numerical solution of the continuum mechanics equations is achieved using isoparametric finite element discretization. The specific matrices which need be calculated in the formulations are presented and discussed. To demonstrate the applicability and the important differences in the formulations, the solution of static and dynamic problems involving large displacements and large strains are presented.

    Finite Element Analysis of Linear and Nonlinear Heat Transfer

    Wilson, Edward L.; Bathe, Klaus-Jürgen; Peterson, Fred E. Source: J. Nuclear Engineering and Design, v 29, 110-124, 1974.

    Publisher: Elsevier Science B.V.

    Abstract: The finite element method is rapidly becoming a popular procedure for the evaluation of thermal stresses in complex structures. In linear analysis the method has been used extensively and has been coupled with stress analysis computer programs in order to automate thermal stress analysis. However, for the method to be effective, efficient numerical techniques need to be used. The purpose of this paper is to survey the recent developments in linear heat transfer analysis and, specifically, to present the techniques that permit the practical analysis of large and complex three-dimensional heat conduction problems. Typical practical problems are described and solution times are presented. In the analysis of systems with nonlinear thermal properties the method has had limited application. In this paper the general formulation of the incremental equations used in nonlinear heat transfer analysis are presented. An efficient numerical solution of the equations is given. Several types of nonlinearities are discussed and the solutions of some typical problems are presented.
