Unified finite element formulation for computational solid mechanics
Dear iMechanica members,
I have recently proposed a novel finite element framework for computational solid mechanics. I hope you find it interesting. I appreciate any feedback.
Towards addressing some long-standing issues in performing explicit elastodynamic simulations of incompressible hyperelastic and elastoplastic material models, finite element formulations based on Bézier elements are developed. The formulations are based on quadratic Bézier triangular and tetrahedral elements. You can download the papers from the following links.
