改进弧长法求解屈曲问题

为了解决结构非线性有限元分析求解过程中结构失稳或材料出现软化时传统Newton-Raphson法无法通过极值点的问题,在传统弧长法的基础上,提出了求解过极值点问题的改进弧长法.该方法将非线性方程求解过程中出现的不平衡力向量分解为两个相互正交的向量,并建立其弧长的约束方程,求解得到非线性计算中的荷载因子.在求解过程中,给出了改进的确定弧长方法,通过弧长调整避免了求解荷载系数中出现复根的问题.通过两个拱型结构的屈曲分析算例,分别考虑几何非线性和几何材料双重非线性效应,对两个拱形结构进行了非线性屈曲分析,结果表明:结构在出现屈曲时发生急跳现象,验证了改进的弧长法在结构出现材料软化和失稳时能通过极值点.

Improved Arc-Length Method for Solving Buckling Problem

A modified arc-length method was proposed to solve the problem that the traditional Newton-Raphson method fails in nonlinear finite element analysis on structures with buckling in the structure or softening in the material.The unbalanced load vector in the nonlinear equations is decomposed into two orthogonal vectors.A new constraint equation was derived,and solved to obtain the current load step factor.Complex roots are avoided by modifying the arc length.Two examples of nonlinear analyses on arch structur...
