Analysis of beams and plates using shear lock free finite elements based on Timoshenko beam and Mindlin-Reissner plate theories

finite elements

Simple finite elements based on Timoshenko beam and Mindlin plate theories have been developed for the analysis of thick and thin structures (beams and plates) using standard finite element procedure. These elements have 3 dof and a new concept, Convergence Factor, is introduced in the formuation to accelerate convergence keeping the number of elements constant. No shear correction factor is used and no shear lock problem is encountered.

Importing strain values in XFEM

Submitted by sam_uk_2000 on

Hi,

Does anyone know how to import the strain values from simulation run in one model, into an XFEM model? I am trying to model creep seprately in one model, and wanted to import the strain values of each step in that model (10 steps, representing 100 yars), into an XFEM model to find out when the crack initiates and propagates in duration of 100 years.

Thank you very much,

Sam
