By the investigation of structural parts under bending loading the so-called shear locking appears, because these elements can not reproduce pure bending modes. Many studies dealt with the locking problem and a number of methods to avoid the undesirable effects have been developed. Two well known methods are the >Assumed Natural Strain< (ANS) method and the >Enhanced Assumed Strain< (EAS) method. In this study the EAS method is applied to a four-node plane element with four EAS-parameters. The paper will describe the well-known linear formulation, its extension to nonlinear materials and the modeling of material uncertainties with random fields. For nonlinear material behavior the EAS parameters can not be determined directly. Here the problem is solved by using an internal iteration at the element level, which is much more efficient and stable than the determination via a global iteration. To verify the deterministic element behavior the results of common test examples are presented for linear and nonlinear materials. The modeling of material uncertainties is done by point-discretized random fields. To show the applicability of the element for stochastic finite element calculations Latin Hypercube Sampling was applied to investigate the stochastic hardening behavior of a cantilever beam with nonlinear material. The enhanced linear element can be applied as an alternative to higher-order finite elements where more nodes are necessary. The presented element formulation can be used in a similar manner to improve stochastic linear solid elements.}, subject = {Nichtlineare Mechanik}, language = {en} } @article{NohPark2004, author = {Noh, Jung-Hwi and Park, Jong-Heon}, title = {A Calculation of Initial Cable Force for Ko-Ha Grand Bridge}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.245}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2459}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The primary objective of initial shape analysis of a cable stayed bridge is to calculate initial installation cable tension forces and to evaluate fabrication camber of main span and pylon providing the final longitudinal profile of the bridge at the end of construction. In addition, the initial cable forces depending on the alternation of the bridge's shape can be obtained from the analysis, and will be used to provide construction safety during construction. In this research, we conducted numerical experiments for initial shape of Ko-ha bridge, which will be constructed in the near future, using three different typical methods such as continuous beam method, linear truss method, and IIMF (Introducing Initial Member Force) method}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @misc{Gundermann2005, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Gundermann, Ralf}, title = {3D-Simulation des Temperaturfeldes und der Gef{\"u}geumwandlung bei einer Laserstrahlschweißung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.668}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-6680}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {2005}, abstract = {Das FEM-Programmsystem „SYSWELD" kommt f{\"u}r die Berechnung des Temperaturfeldes bei einer Laserstrahlschweißung zum Einsatz.
