    Huimin Song1, Dewey H. Hodges1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.85, No.3, pp. 239-278, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2012.085.239

    Abstract The present paper presents a rigorous approach that can accurately and efficiently capture the linear, static and free-vibration behaviors of a beam-like structure by the rigorous combination of a one-dimensional beam model with a three-dimensional continuum model. This study focuses on coupling these disparate finite element types, putting them both into a single finite element model while making use of the asymptotically exact information available as part of the beam model, which itself is obtained by asymptotic dimensional reduction. The coupling is undertaken by use of appropriate transformation matrices at the interface together with stress More >
