Isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love elements have received an increasing attention in geometrically nonlinear analysis of thin walled structures. They make it possible to meet the C 1 requirement in the interior of surface patches, to avoid the use of finite rotations and to reduce the number of unknowns compared to shear flexible models. Locking elimination, patch coupling and iterative solution are crucial points for a robust and efficient nonlinear analysis and represent the main focus of this work. Patch-wise reduced integrations are investigated to deal with locking in large deformation problems discretized via a standard displacement-based formulation. An optimal integration scheme for third order C 2 NURBS, in terms of accuracy and efficiency, is identified, allowing to avoid locking without resorting to a mixed formulation. The Newton method with mixed integration points (MIP) is used for the solution of the discrete nonlinear equations with a great reduction of the iterative burden and a superior robustness with respect to the standard Newton scheme. A simple penalty approach for coupling adjacent patches, applicable to either smooth or non-smooth interfaces, is proposed. An accurate coupling, also for a non-matching discretization, is obtained using an interface-wise reduced integration while the MIP iterative scheme allows for a robust and efficient","PeriodicalId":148883,"journal":{"name":"14th WCCM-ECCOMAS Congress","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129244597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the muscles are represented with 3D FE models, the interaction between the muscles can be taken into account that has an effect on their force production. However, the computational cost of such a method is considerably high. Besides, in many cases, a major part of this computational cost is committed to gain unnecessary information. For instance, when having two FE muscles in contact, both muscles need to get finely meshed to conserve their surface details even if having the stress/strain distribution inside one of the two muscles is not required. As a result, the current study aims to explore a model reduction technique based on mesh embedding to decrease the computational cost of such models. A combination of Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data obtained from a volunteer subject was used to generate a musculoskeletal model of the quadriceps muscle group. The modeling process was performed in ArtiSynth which is an opensource 3D modeling platform supporting combined simulation of multibody and finite element models. This platform allows the attachment of a passive embedded mesh to a FE body so that it deforms in accordance with the motion of the FE body. Considering that the external forces applied to the passive mesh can be propagated back to the FE body attached to it, contact can be defined between the embedded mesh and any other structure. A full and a reduced model are generated and are used to simulate a passive deep knee flexion to test the reliability of the method. The kinematic outcomes are compared against data points obtained from MRI at different flexion angles. The results show that the proposed methodology can be considered as a substitute to fully FE models without a substantial sacrifice on the outcomes despite having lower computational cost.","PeriodicalId":148883,"journal":{"name":"14th WCCM-ECCOMAS Congress","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128997205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine a residual and matrix-free Jacobian formulation of compressible and nearly incompressible ( ν → 0 . 5) displacement-only linear isotropic elasticity with high-order hexahedral finite elements. A matrix-free p -multigrid method is combined with algebraic multigrid on the assembled sparse coarse grid matrix to provide an effective preconditioner. The software is verified with the method of manufactured solutions. We explore convergence to a predetermined L 2 error of 10 − 4 , 10 − 5 and 10 − 6 for the compressible case and 10 − 4 , 10 − 5 for the nearly-incompressible cases, as the Poisson’s ratio approaches 0.5, based upon grid resolution and polynomial order. We compare our results against results obtained from C3D20H mixed/hybrid element available in the commercial finite element software ABAQUS that is quadratic in displacement and linear in pressure. We determine, for the same problem size, that our matrix-free approach for displacement-only implementation is faster and more efficient","PeriodicalId":148883,"journal":{"name":"14th WCCM-ECCOMAS Congress","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123843704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selection criterion of the ABC algorithm is based on the Euclidean distance between the model prediction and the experimental observations.
