MANE 4240 & CIVL 4240 Introduction to Finite Elements Prof. Suvranu De Finite element formulation for 1D elasticity using the Rayleigh-Ritz Principle

Reading assignment: Lecture notes, Logan 3.10 Summary: Stiffness matrix and nodal load vectors for 1D elasticity problem

Axially loaded elastic bar x=L F A(x) = cross section at x b(x) = body force distribution (force per unit length) E(x) = Young’s modulus Potential energy of the axially loaded bar corresponding to the exact solution u(x) Potential energy of the bar corresponding to an admissible displacement w(x)

Finite element idea: Step 1: Divide the truss into finite elements connected to each other through special points (“nodes”) 1 2 3 4 El #1 El #2 El #3 Total potential energy=sum of potential energies of the elements

El #1 El #2 El #3 x1=0 x2 x3 x4=L Total potential energy Potential energy of element 1: Potential energy of element 2:

El #1 El #2 El #3 x1=0 x2 x3 x4 Potential energy of element 3: Total potential energy=sum of potential energies of the elements

Step 2: Describe the behavior of each element In the “direct stiffness” approach, we derived the stiffness matrix of each element directly (See lecture on Springs/Trusses). Now, we will first approximate the displacement inside each element and then show you a systematic way of deriving the stiffness matrix (sections 2.2 and 3.1 of Logan). TASK 1: APPROXIMATE THE DISPLACEMENT WITHIN EACH ELEMENT TASK 2: APPROXIMATE THE STRAIN and STRESS WITHIN EACH ELEMENT TASK 3: DERIVE THE STIFFNESS MATRIX OF EACH ELEMENT (this class) USING THE RAYLEIGH-RITZ PRINCIPLE

Summary Inside an element, the three most important approximations in terms of the nodal displacements (d) are: Displacement approximation in terms of shape functions (1) Strain approximation in terms of strain-displacement matrix (2) Stress approximation in terms of strain-displacement matrix and Young’s modulus (3)

The shape functions for a 1D linear element x1 x2 El #1 1 Within the element, the displacement approximation is

For a linear element Displacement approximation in terms of shape functions Strain approximation Stress approximation

Why is the approximation “admissible”? El #1 El #2 El #3 x1=0 x2 x3 x4=L For the entire bar, the displacement approximation is Where w(i)(x) is the displacement approximation within element (i). Let use set d1x=0. Then, can you seen that the above approximation does satisfy the two conditions of being an admissible function on the entire bar, i.e.,

TASK 3: DERIVE THE STIFFNESS MATRIX OF EACH ELEMENT USING THE RAYLEIGH-RITZ PRINCIPLE Potential energy of element 1: Lets plug in the approximation

Lets see what the matrix is for a 1D linear element Recall that Hence

Now, if we assume E and A are constant Remembering that (x2-x1) is the length of the element, this is the stiffness matrix we had derived directly before using the direct stiffness approach!!

Then why is it necessary to go through this complicated procedure?? 1. Easy to handle nonuniform E and A 2. Easy to handle distributed loads For nonuniform E and A, i.e. E(x) and A(x), the stiffness matrix of the linear element will NOT be But it will ALWAYS be

Now lets go back to Element stiffness matrix Element nodal load vector due to distributed body force

Apply Rayleigh-Ritz principle for the 1D linear element Recall from linear algebra (Lecture notes on Linear Algebra)

Hence Exactly the same equation that we had before, except that the stiffness matrix and nodal force vectors are more general

Recap of the properties of the element stiffness matrix 1. The stiffness matrix is singular and is therefore non-invertible 2. The stiffness matrix is symmetric 3. Sum of any row (or column) of the stiffness matrix is zero! Why?

Sum of any row (or column) of the stiffness matrix is zero Consider a rigid body motion of the element Element strain 1 2 d1x=1 d2x=1

The nodal load vector b(x) 2 1 d2x d1x “Consistent” nodal loads

b(x) /unit length 2 1 2 1 f1x f2x Replaced by d2x d1x d2x d1x A distributed load is represented by two nodal loads in a consistent manner e.g., if b=1 Divide the total force into two equal halves and lump them at the nodes What happens if b(x)=x?

Summary: For each element Displacement approximation in terms of shape functions Strain approximation in terms of strain-displacement matrix Stress approximation Element stiffness matrix Element nodal load vector

What happens for element #3? The discretized form of the potential energy

What happens for element #3? Now apply Rayleigh-Ritz principle Hence there is an extra load term on the right hand side due to the concentrated force F applied to the right end of the bar. NOTE that whenever you have a concentrated load at ANY node, that load should be applied as an extra right hand side term.

Step3:Assembly exactly as you had done before, assemble the global stiffness matrix and global load vector and solve the resulting set of equations by properly taking into account the displacement boundary conditions

Problem: E=30x106 psi r=0.2836 lb/in3 Thickness of plate, t=1” x 24” 3” 6” P=100lb 12” Model the plate as 2 finite elements and Write the expression for element stiffness matrix and body force vectors Assemble the global stiffness matrix and load vector Solve for the unknown displacements Evaluate the stress in each element Evaluate the reaction in each support

Node-element connectivity chart Solution (1) Node-element connectivity chart Finite element model Element # Node 1 Node 2 1 2 3 x 12” 1 2 3 El #1 El #2 P=100lb Stiffness matrix of El #1

Stiffness matrix of El #2 12” 6” 4.5” 6 - 0.125x Now compute the element load vector due to distributed body force (weight)

For element #1 x 12” 1 2 El #1 Superscript in parenthesis indicates element number

For element #2 x 12” 1 2 3 El #1 El #2

Solution (2) Assemble the system equations

Solution (3) Hence we need to solve R1 is the reaction at node 1. Notice that since the boundary condition at x=0 (d1x=0) has not been taken into account, the system matrix is not invertible. Incorporating the boundary condition d1x=0 we need to solve the following set of equations

Solve to obtain Solution (4) Stress in elements Notice that since we are using linear elements, the stress within each element is constant. In element #1

In element #2

Solution (5) Reaction at support Go back to the first line of the global equilibrium equations… (The –ve sign indicates that the force is in the –ve x-direction) R1 Check 6” The reaction at the wall from force equilibrium in the x-direction 12” 24” P=100lb 3” x

Problem: Can you solve for the displacement and stresses analytically? Check out Stress

Comparison of displacement solutions

Notice: Slope discontinuity at x=12 (why?) The finite element solution does not produce the exact solution even at the nodes We may improve the solution by (1) Increasing the number of elements (2) Using higher order elements (e.g., quadratic instead of linear)

Comparison of stress solutions The analytical as well as the finite element stresses are discontinuous across the elements
