Static-kinematic duality in beams, plates, shells and its central role in the finite element method

Alberto Carpinteri (2017)

Curved and Layered Structures

Similarity:

Static and kinematic matrix operator equations are revisited for one-, two-, and three-dimensional deformable bodies. In particular, the elastic problem is formulated in the details in the case of arches, cylinders, circular plates, thin domes, and, through an induction process, shells of revolution. It is emphasized how the static and kinematic matrix operators are one the adjoint of the other, and then demonstrated through the definition of stiffness matrix and the application of virtual...

Linear approximation in Continuum Mechanics

Similarity:

Some critical remarks are made about the theory of Linear Elasticity, questioning on its validity in general. An alternative linear approximation of the exact theory is proposed.

On the mechanical behaviour of laminated curved beams: a simple model which takes into account the warping effects

Similarity:

A mechanical one-dimensional model which describes the dynamical behaviour of laminated curved beams is formulated. It is assumed that each lamina can be regarded as a Timoshenko's beam and that the rotations of the cross sections can differ from one lamina to another. The relative displacements at the interfaces of adjacent laminae are assumed to be zero. Consequently the model includes a shear deformability, due to the warping of the cross beam section consequent to the variability...
