Weak compessible of elasters is taken into account on the basis of threefold approximation of fields of displacements, deformations and function of volume change. At intensive cyclic loading of the elastomer constructions with a crack it is necessary to take into account warming and large deformations at the crack top. The stress-deformed state elasters with a crack is determined from the decision of a nonlinear problem by a modified method Newton-Kantorovich. Account stress intensity factors for a rectangular plate with a various arrangement of a through crack is executed.

Operational and variational formulations of the problem in the ring coordinate system are presented. The discrete-continual design model for structures with constant physical and geometrical parameters in longitudinal direction is offered on the basis of so-called curvilinear discrete-continual finite elements. Element coordinate system, approximation of nodal unknowns, construction of element nodal load vector are under consideration. Element system of differential equations is formulated with use of special generalized block-structured stiffness matrix of discrete-continual finite element. Local differential relations are formulated. Resultant multipoint boundary problem for system of ordinary differential equations is given. Method of analytical solution of multipoint boundary problems in structural analysis is offered as well. Its major peculiarities include universality, computer-oriented algorithm involving theory of distributions, computational stability, optimal conditionality of resultant systems, partial Jordan decomposition of matrix of coefficients, eliminating necessity of calculation of root vectors.

The prediction quality of dynamic simulations of vibration-sensitive components depends significantly on the use of appropriate damping models. Damping phenomena have a decisive influence on the vibration amplitude and the frequencies of the vibrating structure. However, developing realistic damping models is challenging due to the multiple sources that cause energy dissipation, such as material damping, different types of friction, or various interactions with the environment. This thesis focuses on thermoelastic damping, which is the main cause of material damping in homogeneous materials. The effect is caused by temperature changes due to mechanical strains. In vibrating structures, temperature gradients arise in adjacent tension and compression areas. Depending on the vibration frequency, they result in heat flows, leading to increased entropy and the irreversible transformation of mechanical energy into thermal energy. The central objective of this thesis is the development of efficient simulation methods to incorporate thermoelastic damping in finite element analyses based on modal superposition. The thermoelastic loss factor is derived from the structure's mechanical mode shapes and eigenfrequencies. In subsequent analyses that are performed in the time and frequency domain, it is applied as modal damping. Two approaches are developed to determine the thermoelastic loss in thin-walled plate structures, as well as three-dimensional solid structures. The realistic representation of the dissipation effects is verified by comparing the simulation results with experimentally determined data. Therefore, an experimental setup is developed to measure material damping, excluding other sources of energy dissipation. The three-dimensional solid approach is based on the determination of the generated entropy and therefore the generated heat per vibration cycle, which is a measure for thermoelastic loss in relation to the total strain energy. For thin plate structures, the amount of bending energy in a modal deformation is calculated and summarized in the so-called Modal Bending Factor (MBF). The highest amount of thermoelastic loss occurs in the state of pure bending. Therefore, the MBF enables a quantitative classification of the mode shapes concerning the thermoelastic damping potential. The results of the developed simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results and are appropriate to predict thermoelastic loss factors. Both approaches are based on modal superposition with the advantage of a high computational efficiency. Overall, the modeling of thermoelastic damping represents an important component in a comprehensive damping model, which is necessary to perform realistic simulations of vibration processes.}, subject = {Werkstoffd{\"a}mpfung}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Will1999, author = {Will, Johannes}, title = {Beitrag zur Standsicherheitsberechnung im gekl{\"u}fteten Fels in der Kontinuums- und Diskontinuumsmechanik unter Verwendung impliziter und expliziter Berechnungsstrategien}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.58}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20040310-613}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {1999}, subject = {Staumauer}, language = {de} } @article{VuBacNguyenXuanChenetal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Nguyen-Xuan, Hung and Chen, Lei and Lee, C.K. and Zi, Goangseup and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Liu, G.R. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A phantom-node method with edge-based strain smoothing for linear elastic fracture mechanics}, series = {Journal of Applied Mathematics}, journal = {Journal of Applied Mathematics}, doi = {10.1155/2013/978026}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170426-31676}, abstract = {This paper presents a novel numerical procedure based on the combination of an edge-based smoothed finite element (ES-FEM) with a phantom-node method for 2D linear elastic fracture mechanics. In the standard phantom-node method, the cracks are formulated by adding phantom nodes, and the cracked element is replaced by two new superimposed elements. This approach is quite simple to implement into existing explicit finite element programs. The shape functions associated with discontinuous elements are similar to those of the standard finite elements, which leads to certain simplification with implementing in the existing codes. The phantom-node method allows modeling discontinuities at an arbitrary location in the mesh. The ES-FEM model owns a close-to-exact stiffness that is much softer than lower-order finite element methods (FEM). Taking advantage of both the ES-FEM and the phantom-node method, we introduce an edge-based strain smoothing technique for the phantom-node method. Numerical results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy compared with the extended finite element method (XFEM) and other reference solutions.}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{vanRooyenOlivier2004, author = {van Rooyen, G.C. and Olivier, A.

The case of finite element structural analysis in a distributed collaboratory is examined in this paper. An approach is taken which has its roots in human aspects of the structural analysis task. Based on experience of how structural engineers currently approach and execute this task while utilising standard software designed for use on local workstations only, criteria are stated for a software architechture that could support collaborative structural analysis.
