In this thesis a new beam element that is based on force formulation is proposed for modeling elastic and inelastic analysis of beams with functionally graded materials. The attempt of producing functionally graded materials (FGM) arose from mixing two materials in such a way that both of them preserve their physical, mechanical and thermal properties most effectively. FGM shows a gradation through the depth from typically a metallic material such as steel or aluminum at one face of the beam’s section depth to another material such as ceramic at the other face. The change of materials properties is taken according to a power law or an exponential law. The proposed beam element is based on the use of force interpolation functions instead of the approximation of displacement field. Since derivation of displacement interpolation functions is rather a tedious task for a beam with FGM, the proposed approach provides an easy alternative in this regard. The response of the proposed element is calculated through aggregation of responses of several monitoring sections. Section response is calculated by subdividing the depth of a monitoring section into several layers and by aggregating the material response on the layers. Since the formulation of the element is based on force interpolation functions that are accurate under both elastic and inelastic material response, the proposed element provides robust and accurate linear and nonlinear analyses of FGM beams with respect to the displacement-based approach. For the inelastic analysis, the von Mises plasticity model with isotropic and kinematic hardening parameters is assigned for both materials for simplicity. The consistent mass matrix for the proposed force-based element is also implemented for the validation of the vibration modes and shapes obtained from this element. For this effort, benchmark problems are both analyzed with the proposed beam element and with 3d solid elements in ANSYS. The results indicate that the proposed element provides accurate results not only in lower modes but also in higher modes of vibration.

Hybrid finite element for analysis of functionally graded beams
Sarıtaş, Afşin; Soydas, Ozan (2017-01-01)
A hybrid finite element model is presented, where stiffness and mass distributions over a beam with functionally graded material (FGM) are accurately modeled for both elastic and inelastic material responses. Von Mises and Drucker-Prager plasticity models are implemented for metallic and ceramic parts of FGM, respectively. Three-dimensional stress-strain relations are solved by a general closest point projection algorithm, and then condensed to the dimensions of the beam element. Numerical examples and veri...
Nonlinear fiber modeling of steel-concrete partially composite beams with channel shear connectors
Öztürk, Alper; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
The purpose of this study is to develop a nonlinear fiber-based finite element model of steel-concrete composite beams. The model was developed in OpenSees utilizing the available finite element formulations and the readily available uniaxial material constitutive relations. The model employed beam elements for the steel beam and the concrete slab, while zero-length connector elements were used for the steel-concrete interface. The channel shear connector response used in numerical models was based on the p...
Dynamic analysis of beams with breathing crack using finite element method
Özkan, Berkay; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
Non-linear dynamic characteristics of a beam with a breathing crack are investigated using finite element method. This thesis has two main objectives: (1) to obtain a foresight for the vibration based crack detection by using finite element method (2) to investigate the effects of crack location, crack depth, excitation frequency, excitation amplitude and boundary conditions on the indications of crack presence. Two dimensional finite element approach is used to model a square cross sectional beam subjected...
Failure analysis of tapered composite structures under tensile loading
Çelik, Ozan; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
A three dimensional finite element modeling approach is used to evaluate the effects of preliminary design variables on the performance of tapered composite laminates under tensile loading. Hashin failure criteria combined with a progressive failure algorithm is used for in-plane failure mechanisms and cohesive zone method is used for out-of-plane failures. The modeling approach is validated by a comparison with experimental results from literature. The validated model is used to examine various design vari...
Analysis of RC walls with a mixed formulation frame finite element
Sarıtaş, Afşin (2013-10-01)
This paper presents a mixed formulation frame element with the assumptions of the Timoshenko shear beam theory for displacement field and that accounts for interaction between shear and normal stress at material level. Nonlinear response of the element is obtained by integration of section response, which in turn is obtained by integration of material response. Satisfaction of transverse equilibrium equations at section includes the interaction between concrete and transverse reinforcing steel. A 3d plastic...
