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.

How to estimate crack growth propagation using the maximum tangential stress criterion method?

Submitted by Abdulmajid 12345 on Mon, 10/24/2011 - 10:29

Hi All Currently I am running FE modelling using linear elastic fracture mechanics approach to estimate crack growth propagation in a web plate of box girder in an existing bridge deck. The FE model includes 3D solid element. The crack growth direction is expected to follow in a plan perpendicular to the maximum principal stress. As I know there are many methods can be used to estimate the direction of crack during propagation. My question is about the maximum tangential stress criterion method.
