    Författare :Hamid Reza Motamedian; Artem Kulachenko; Umberto Perego; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fiber network; beam-to-beam contact; rotational contact; non-consistent; simulation; finite element; multiscale; microscale; micromechanics; paper; refining; beating; fine; hygroexpansion; shrinkage; drying; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis covers the topic of modeling the three-dimensional fiber net- works with the finite element method. It contains the part addressing the numerical aspects of the modeling, namely, the contact formulation and application of the developed methods to the fundamental questions such as the effect of randomness in fiber properties and effect of fines and hygroexpansion.

  3. 2. Robust Formulations for Beam-to-Beam Contact

    Författare :Hamid Reza Motamedian; Artem Kulachenko; Anders Klarbring; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structures; Finite Element Methods; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Contact between beam elements is a specific category of contact problems which was introduced by Wriggers and Zavarise in 1997 for normal contact and later extended by Zavarise and Wriggers to include tangential and frictional contact. In these works, beam elements are assumed to have rigid circular cross-sections and each pair of elements cannot have more than one contact point. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Co-rotational beam elements in instability problems

    Författare :Jean-Marc Battini; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :instability; co-rotational mehtod; branch-switching; beam element; warping; plastic buckling. post-bifurcation; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to implement co-rotational beam elements and branch-switching procedures in order to analyse elastic and elastoplasticinstability problems. For the 2D beam elements, the co-rotational framework is taken from Crisfield [23]. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Corotational formulation for nonlinear analysis of flexible beam structures

    Författare :Thanh Nam Le; Jean-Marc Battini; Jari Mäkinen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Corotational method; nonlinear dynamic analysis; beam element; large displacements; finite rotations; time stepping method; cubic interpolations;

    Sammanfattning : Flexible beam structures are popular in civil and mechanical engineering. Many of these structures undergo large displacements and finite rotations, but with small deformations. Their dynamic behaviors are usually investigated using finite beam elements. A well known method to derive such beam elements is the corotational approach. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Nonlinear dynamics of flexible structures using corotational beam elements

    Författare :Thanh-Nam Le; Jean-Marc Battini; Reijo Kouhia; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; corotational method; nonlinear dynamics; large displacements; finite rotations; time stepping method; thin-walled cross-section; beam element;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to develop corotational beam elements for the nonlinear dynamic analyse of flexible beam structures. Whereas corotational beam elements in statics are well documented, the derivation of a corotational dynamic formulation is still an issue. LÄS MER
