Corotational formulation for 3D solids

Submitted by likask on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 07:24

lagrangian formulation

Please have look
http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.5321

This paper presents the theory for the Lagrange co-rotational (CR) formulation of finite elements in the geometrically nonlinear analysis of 3D structures. In this paper, strains are assumed to be small while the magnitude of rotations from the reference configuration is not restricted. A new best fit rotator and consistent spin filter is derived.

material co-ordinate systems

Hi,

I am looking for a good citation (or perhaps a detailed explaination) on the difference between material co-ordinate and eulerian co-ordinate system.Please treat me a beginner in the field of continuum mechanics.Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards

Kapil
