A quasi inextensible element formulation for anisotropic continuum

2016-06-10
The contribution presents a novel finite element formulation for quasi-inextensible and quasi-incompressible finite hyperelastic behaviour of transeversely anisotropic materials and addresses its computational aspects. The formulation is presented in purely Eulerian setting and based on the additive decomposition of the free energy function into isotropic and anisotropic parts where the former is further decomposed into isochoric and volumetric parts. For the quasi-incompressible material response, the Q1P0-element formulation is outlined briefly where the pressure type Lagrange multiplier and its conjugate enter the variational formulation as extended set of variables. Using the similar argumentation,an extended Hu-Washizu type potential is introduced where the average volume fiber stretch and fiber stress are additional field variables enforcing the quasi-inextensibility constraint. Within this context, the Euler-Lagrange equations and the finite element formulation resulting from the extended variational principle are derived from the extended potential. The numerical implementation exploits the underlying variational structure leading to a canonical symmetric structure. The efficiency of the proposed approached is demonstrated through representative boundary value problems. The superiority of the proposed element formulation over the standard Q1- and Q1P0-element formulation is studied through benchmark convergence analyses. The proposed finite element formulation is modular and shows excellent performance for fiber reinforced elastomers and anisotropic biological tissues in the inextensibility limit.

A new time-domain boundary element formulation for generalized models of viscoelasticity
Akay, Ahmet Arda; Gürses, Ercan; Göktepe, Serdar (2023-05-01)
The contribution is concerned with the novel algorithmic formulation for generalized models of viscoelasticity under quasi-static conditions within the framework of the boundary element method (BEM). The proposed update algorithm is constructed for a generic rheological model of linear viscoelasticity that can either be straightforwardly simplified to recover the basic Kelvin and Maxwell models or readily furthered towards the generalized models of viscoelasticity through the serial or parallel extensions. ...
A complete axiomatization for fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies in fuzzy database relations
Sozat, MI; Yazıcı, Adnan (Elsevier BV, 2001-01-15)
This paper first introduces the formal definitions of fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies which are given on the basis of the conformance values presented here. Second, the inference rules are listed after both fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies are shown to be consistent, that is, they reduce to those of the classic functional and multivalued dependencies when crisp attributes are involved. Finally, the inference rules presented here are shown to be sound and complete for the family of...

The contribution presents anextensionandapplicationof a recently proposed finite element formulation for quasi-inextensible and quasi-incompressible finite hyperelasticity to fibrous soft biological tissues and touches in particular upon computational aspects thereof. In line with theoretical framework presented by Dal (Int J Numer Methods Eng 117:118-140, 2019), the mixed variational formulation is extended to two families of fibers as often encountered while dealing with fibrous tissues. Apart from that, ...
