Triangular ring element with analytic expressions for stiffness and mass matrix

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:1096465)





An analytic approach for the generation of stiffness and consistent mass matrix in the case of ring elements is performed. The pure axisymmetric problem is extended with a tangential Fourier expansion of the load and corresponding displacement field. The element geometry employed is a triangular ring element with linear and quadratic displacement assumptions, respectively. No a priori assumption of the element orientation is required. The stiffness and mass matrices are written as linear combinations of a number of basic element matrices given by a few element parameters. The matrices are tested in a computer program solving nonaxisymmetric vibration of axisymmetric solids. The eigenvalue problem is solved by `subspace iteration'. The matrices are found to be extremely numerically stable.
