![]() That are orthogonal to the rigid body modes. The method involves the construction of generalized hourglass strains (1984) describe aĬontrol technique to deal with the hourglassing of first-order uniform-strainĮlements. Singular stiffness matrix is obtained and the element is rendered ineffective.įlanagan and Belytschko (1981) and Belytschko et al. Mesh is geometrically consistent with a global pattern of such modes, a Modes are present in reduced-integration element formulations so that, if the Instability, commonly referred to as “hourglassing.” Kinematic zero-energy Reduced integration has a serious drawback: it can result in a mesh Substantial reduction in the number of function evaluations is achieved. Uniformly reduced-integration rules are appealing computationally because a The integration scheme is based on the “uniform strainįormulation,” where an average strain is calculated over the element volume. Reduced-integration, linear isoparametric elements use uniformly reduced Gaussian quadrature (second-order) requires 2 × 2 integration points in twoĭimensions (e.g., CPS4I) and 2 × 2 × 2 points in three dimensions (e.g., C3D8I). Incompatible mode elements use full integration. Theįull and reduced-integration schemes use third- and second-order Gaussian Second-order isoparametric elements use full or reduced integration. Integrate volumetric strain terms, to avoid excessive constraint when theĮlement's response is essentially incompressible. Gaussian integration is used for the deviatoric strains, with one point used to ![]() Three-dimensional isoparametric elements. Selectively reduced integration is used inįor linear plane strain, generalized plane strain, axisymmetric, and Linear isoparametric elements use selectively reduced integration. Scheme plays a vital role in determining the properties of an element. The different numerical integration schemes used by the elements mentionedĪbove in evaluating the stiffness matrices are discussed here. Provide detailed discussions of the element formulations. Solid isoparametric quadrilaterals and hexahedraĬontinuum elements with incompatible modes Incompatible mode elements since they are both based on the same assumed strainĬontinuum shell elements-these elements behave similar to shell elementsĪnd, therefore, can be used effectively for modeling slender structures Solutions for linear elastic materials obtained with reduced-integrationĮlements using enhanced hourglass control closely match those obtained with However, the enhancedĬan provide good bending behavior even with a coarse mesh. ![]() Needed to model the bending response accurately. Generally, multiple reduced-integration elements through the thickness are The evaluation of the element strain energy eliminates the shear locking Reduced-integration linear isoparametric elements-reduced integration in Linear isoparametric elements eliminates shear locking and enables theseĮlements to have excellent bending properties. Incompatible mode elements-the addition of incompatible modes to the Quadratic displacement fields, thus enabling them to model a pure bending Second-order isoparametric elements-these elements can reproduce There are several alternative continuum elements that can be used to overcome
