报告摘要 / ABSTRACT
The motivation for this work, which is research in progress, is to link differential geometry and solid mechanics to split the strain energy of statically and proportionally loaded structures into its membrane energy part and its non-membrane complement. The structures consist of 1-dimensional members (arches, beams) and/or 2-dimensional members (shells, plates). The non-membrane part of the strain energy generally consists of the bending energy, the transverse shear energy, and the torsional energy. Frequently, the last two energies are insignificant.
It is hypothesized that the normalized non-membrane energy part is equal to the square of the radius of curvature of a curve on the curved surface of an octant of the unit sphere. This quantity is obtained from linear eigenvalue analysis, involving the tangent stiffness matrix in the context of the FEM and an initially unknown real symmetric matrix. Considering four different options of this matrix, it has turned out in the framework of a numerical investigation that the small-displacement stiffness matrix is the sought second coefficient matrix in the mathematical formulation of the aforementioned linear eigenvalue problem. However, because of membrane locking several eigenvalue analyses, with three of the four finite elements considered, failed.
Keeping in mind that eigenvectors obtained by the FEM, representing the starting point for determination of the curvature of the previously mentioned surface curve, are N-dimensional matric vectors, one of the tasks of the research is parameter reduction in order to obtain 3-dimensional physical vectors, permitting visualization of the initially mentioned surface curve.
The present research work is embedded in a research project which is financially supported by the Austrian Science Fund. The next research step is verification of the hypothesis for shells.
