2 FINITE ELEMENT : MATRIX FORMULATION Discrete vs continuous Element type Polynomial approximation Matrices [N] and [B] Weak form Matrices [K] Boundary conditions Global problem

3 Continuous Discrete Continuous How much rain?

4 Continuous Discrete Continuous Geometry discretization

5 Continuous Discrete Continuous Unknown field discretization

6 Continuous Discrete Continuous Use elements

7 Finite Element Discretization Replace continuum formulation by a discrete representation for unknowns and geometry Unknown field: u e (M) = i N e i (M)q e i Geometry: x(m) = i N e i (M)x(P i ) Interpolation functions Ni e e and shape functions Ni M, Ni e (M) = and Ni e (P j ) = δ ij i such as: Isoparametric elements iff N e i N e i

8 D-mapping Subparametric Superparametric Isoparametric element element element Geometry Unknown field Geometry Unknown field Geometry Unknown field more field nodes more geometrical nodes same number of than geometrical nodes than field nodes geom and field nodes Rigid body displacement not represented for superparametric element that has nonlinear edges! The location of the node at the middle of the edge is critical for quadratic edges

9 Shape function matrix, [N] Deformation matrix, [B] Field u, T, C Gradient ε, grad(t ),... Constitutive equations σ = Λ : ε, q = kgrad(t ) Conservation div(σ ) + f = 0,... First step: express the continuous field and its gradient wrt the discretized vector

10 Deformation matrix [B] () Knowing: u e (M) = i N e i (M)q e i Deformation can be obtained from the nodal displacements, for instance in D, small strain: ε xx = u x x = N (M) x ε yy = u y y = N (M) y ε xy = u x y + u y x = N (M) y q e x + N (M) x q e y + N (M) y q e x + N (M) x q e x +... q e y +... q e y +...

11 Matrix form, -node quadrilateral Deformation matrix [B] () {u} e = [N] T {q} e = N 0 N 0 N 0 N 0 0 N 0 N 0 N 0 N qx e qy e... q e y {ε} e = [B] T {q} e = N,x 0 N,x 0 N,x 0 N,x 0 0 N,y 0 N,y 0 N,y 0 N,y N,y N,x N,y N,x N,y N,x N,y N,x qx e qy e... q e y Shear term taken as γ = ε

12 Reference element η η y ξ ξ Actual geometry Physical space (x, y) x Ω f(x, y)dxdy = Reference element Parent space (ξ, η) + + f (ξ, η)jdξdη J is the determinant of the partial derivatives x/ ξ... matrix

13 Remarks on geometrical mapping The values on an edge depends only on the nodal values on the same edge (linear interpolation equal to zero on each side for -node lines, parabolic interpolation equal to zero for points for -node lines) Continuity... The mid node is used to allow non linear geometries Limits in the admissible mapping for avoiding singularities

14 Mapping of a -node line x ξ x =0 x =/ x = Physical segment: x =- x = x Parent segment: ξ =- ξ = ξ =0 x = ξ + ( ξ ) x

15 Jacobian and inverse jacobian matrix x dx = ξ dy y ξ x η y dξ = [J] dξ dη dη η dξ = dη ξ x η x ξ y η dx = [J] dx dy dy y Since (x, y) are known from N i (ξ, η) and x i, [J] is computed from the known quantities in [J], using also: J = Det ([J]) = x ξ y η y ξ x η

16 Expression of the inverse jacobian matrix [J] = J y η x η y ξ x ξ For a rectangle [±a, ±b] in the real world, the mapping function is the same for any point inside the rectangle. The jacobian is a diagonal matrix, with x/ ξ = a, y/ η = b, and the determinant value is ab For any other shape, the mapping changes according to the location in the element For computing [B], one has to consider N i / x and N i / y: N i x = N i ξ N i y = N i ξ ξ x + N i η ξ y + N i η η x η y then N i/ x = [J] N i/ ξ N i / y N i / η
