Hourglassing
Mon, 2011-08-01 03:46 - kajalschopra
This is a very basic question but I will be happy if someone can help me here.I had been reading about Hourglassing as I understand (I think I am wrong), hourglassing is that when you have the displacements (or the field variable)at integration points '0'.If this occurs it would result in 0 displacements at nodes as well (because displaceemnts from interpoaltion pioints are extrapolated at nodes) which is incorrect.Can anyone please explain in simplest manner about hourglassing?I shall be very grateful.
