Finite Element Analysis of Beams and Plates on Elastic Foundation
Author: Witold TorbackiPublisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing

Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This book is a compendium of knowledge on the finite element method (FEM) applied to beam and plate structures resting on elastic foundation. Providing a theoretical description of beam and plate elements and elastic foundations, we use the displacement approach to the FEM. Such description serves as a basis for creating software for elastic-plastic analysis of structures resting on elastic foundation. Making use of the FEM, we have created a program written in the Fortran language for solutions to problems of placing structural elements on elastic foundation. A structure can be discretized by means of isoparametric beam finite elements, and isoparametric Lagrangian Mindlin plate finite elements. We describe a foundation with special isoparametric finite elements. The software allows the user to model layered structures of any form, accounting for elastic-plastic material properties, i.e. physical non-linearity, of beam and plate elements resting on non-homogeneous foundation: three-parameter foundation under beam elements, two-parameter - under plate elements, accounting for the outside of the beam, foundation layers and unilateral conditions in structure-foundation interaction.

One-Dimensional Finite Elements
Author: Andreas ÖchsnerPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 331975145X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
This textbook presents finite element methods using exclusively one-dimensional elements. It presents the complex methodology in an easily understandable but mathematically correct fashion. The approach of one-dimensional elements enables the reader to focus on the understanding of the principles of basic and advanced mechanical problems. The reader will easily understand the assumptions and limitations of mechanical modeling as well as the underlying physics without struggling with complex mathematics. Although the description is easy, it remains scientifically correct. The approach using only one-dimensional elements covers not only standard problems but allows also for advanced topics such as plasticity or the mechanics of composite materials. Many examples illustrate the concepts and problems at the end of every chapter help to familiarize with the topics. Each chapter also includes a few exercise problems, with short answers provided at the end of the book. The second edition appears with a complete revision of all figures. It also presents a complete new chapter special elements and added the thermal conduction into the analysis of rod elements. The principle of virtual work has also been introduced for the derivation of the finite-element principal equation.
Design Analysis of Beams, Circular Plates and Cylindrical Tanks on Elastic Foundations
Author: Edmund S. MelerskiPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000151182
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
This extended and revised second edition elaborates on techniques for the numerical analysis of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and on unyielding or elastic supports. Emphasis is placed on the simplicity of analysis, while maintaining the accuracy of results, and a large number of examples are included as illustration. Easy-to-use, fully-revised software is included which runs smoothly under current Windows operating systems. The applicability of the software is extended to analysis of laterally-loaded piles and bending analysis of retaining walls. A bonus suite of complementary software containing programmes for elastic-plastic soil-structure interaction analyses of beams or strips, laterally-loaded piles or sheet-piles, and long retaining walls is also included. This package of numerical techniques and software provides a powerful tool which renders design analysis of structures easy and time-efficient. Practising engineers will find this title invaluable, while postgraduate students and researchers working in soil-structure interaction will also find the book-software package very useful.
Finite Element Method
Author: G.R. LiuPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080472761
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an indispensable technology for the modelling and simulation of engineering systems. Written for engineers and students alike, the aim of the book is to provide the necessary theories and techniques of the FEM for readers to be able to use a commercial FEM package to solve primarily linear problems in mechanical and civil engineering with the main focus on structural mechanics and heat transfer. Fundamental theories are introduced in a straightforward way, and state-of-the-art techniques for designing and analyzing engineering systems, including microstructural systems are explained in detail. Case studies are used to demonstrate these theories, methods, techniques and practical applications, and numerous diagrams and tables are used throughout. The case studies and examples use the commercial software package ABAQUS, but the techniques explained are equally applicable for readers using other applications including NASTRAN, ANSYS, MARC, etc. A practical and accessible guide to this complex, yet important subject Covers modeling techniques that predict how components will operate and tolerate loads, stresses and strains in reality
Static and Dynamic Analysis of Engineering Structures

ISBN: 1119592836
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
An authoritative guide to the theory and practice of static and dynamic structures analysis Static and Dynamic Analysis of Engineering Structures examines static and dynamic analysis of engineering structures for methodological and practical purposes. In one volume, the authors – noted engineering experts – provide an overview of the topic and review the applications of modern as well as classic methods of calculation of various structure mechanics problems. They clearly show the analytical and mechanical relationships between classical and modern methods of solving boundary value problems. The first chapter offers solutions to problems using traditional techniques followed by the introduction of the boundary element methods. The book discusses various discrete and continuous systems of analysis. In addition, it offers solutions for more complex systems, such as elastic waves in inhomogeneous media, frequency-dependent damping and membranes of arbitrary shape, among others. Static and Dynamic Analysis of Engineering Structures is filled with illustrative examples to aid in comprehension of the presented material. The book: Illustrates the modern methods of static and dynamic analysis of structures; Provides methods for solving boundary value problems of structural mechanics and soil mechanics; Offers a wide spectrum of applications of modern techniques and methods of calculation of static, dynamic and seismic problems of engineering design; Presents a new foundation model. Written for researchers, design engineers and specialists in the field of structural mechanics, Static and Dynamic Analysis of Engineering Structures provides a guide to analyzing static and dynamic structures, using traditional and advanced approaches with real-world, practical examples.
