Mortar FEM

Submitted by sachinsinghgautam on Thu, 07/01/2010 - 17:43

Hello,

I am interested about the Mortar Finite Element Methods. I have a general idea about what it is about. I am interested in some text which can get me started. While looking for some books on the subject I could find 2 (one phd thesis in book form by Yang and a unpublished book from CRC press to be out by June 2011) and some on books on Domain decomposition methods. Since I dont have easy access to library facilties, I would like to know if there are papers whichcan get me started.

Thanks a lot,

Dr. Sachin Singh Gautam

On the sign of shear stresses in the Mohr's circle

Usually, the position of points in Mohr's circle is attributed to a sign convetion related to shear stresses. It is shown that points in the circle related to shear stresses generating a clockwise moment are in the upper half of the circle as a consequence of the position of principal directions, not due to a convention. I hope this note could help to explain better the use of Mohr's circle in plane stress states.

Stiffness Matrix

I would like to know how to write a stiffness matrix for a bar under torsional load. I would like to write a code in C++ to do this. I would like to know of any material regarding this.

Thanks in advance

input stiffness matrix to ansys

Hi everybody

Im working on a project about Finite element modeling of Contact. Im not allowed to use contact solving feature of ANSYS and i should use its Macro Programming. in this case i should read stiffness matrix from ansys, add some row and column to it and input it back to ansys and solve it.

I have two problem with this, first i dont know how to input modiffied stiffness matrix back to ANSYS..
