Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of finite element analysis, and is particularly suitable for a stress finite element method for solving structural stress and deformation. Background Art
[0002] The finite element method (FEM) originated from the matrix displacement method of bar structures developed in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1956, Turner and others extended the idea of the matrix displacement method of bar structures to solve plane problems in elastic mechanics. In 1960, Clough named this method for solving plane problems in elastic mechanics "finite element method". Since then, the finite element method has developed rapidly and gradually matured. The finite element method is considered to be the most effective numerical method at present, with its outstanding advantages such as solid theoretical foundation, versatility and strong practicality. The research paper "Difference Format Based on Variational Principle" by Chinese mathematician Academician Feng Kang laid a rigorous mathematical foundation for the finite element method and provided a reliable theoretical guarantee for the practical application of the finite element method. The paper is also considered to be a symbol of the independent creation of the finite element method by Chinese scientists from Western countries.
[0003] In elasticity problems, the governing equations include equilibrium equations, constitutive equations, geometric equations, stress boundary conditions, and displacement boundary conditions. When using the finite element method to solve elasticity problems, the steps generally include structural discretization, unit analysis, overall analysis, and numerical solution.
[0004] In specific applications, displacement is currently used as the basic variable, and it is assumed that displacement has satisfied the displacement boundary conditions, strain is determined by displacement according to the geometric equation, and stress is determined by strain according to the constitutive equation. Displacement as the basic variable still needs to satisfy the equilibrium equation and stress boundary conditions, and the establishment of the equilibrium equation is based on the variational principle in elastic mechanics. This finite element method that takes displacement as the basic variable and satisfies additional conditions is usually called the displacement finite element method.
[0005] Theoretically, stress can also be used as the basic variable, and it is assumed that stress has satisfied the equilibrium equation and stress boundary conditions. Strain is determined by stress according to the constitutive equation. Stress as the basic variable still needs to satisfy the geometric equation and displacement boundary conditions. This finite element method with stress as the basic variable and satisfying additional conditions is usually called the stress finite element method. However, in practical applications, it is very difficult to express the internal stress of the unit with undetermined parameters, so the finite element method with stress as the basic variable is rarely used.
[0006] The present invention solves this problem and proposes a finite element method with stress as the basic variable, which has a solid theoretical basis, strong versatility and practicability, is of great value to finite element theory research, and has positive significance to engineering applications.
