feasibilty of corotational formulation

Submitted by mjalilych1 on

hello Dear friends

I am working on geometrically nonlinear behavior of 2D beam.

I used field consistent approach using total lagrangian. because of field consistency, satisfication tangent stiffness matrix is dependent to tangant of node angles. this means that when beam is subjected to pure bending when angle of rotation approches to 90 degree, tangent stiffness matrice become singular. can any one give solution to this problem. how about corotational formulation.

thanks a lot.

best regards.

Crack Propagation by XFEM

Submitted by anthony_wong on

Hai everyone.

Good day, i'm a new to XFEM who currently doing research in electronic field. I'm thinking about since the crack can be propagated without a crack tip by strain loading, how about the crack propagation by using thermal loading? I didn't see any example of this kind of problem, so can anyone tell me is that possible to do such simulation? Your suggestion is important for me and will be highly appreciated.  

Thanks in advance.
