Abstract:
The numerical discretization of thin shell structures yields ill-conditioned stiffness matrices due to an inherent large eigenvalue spectrum. Finite element parametrization that depends on shell thickness, like relative displacement shells, solid shells and other solid finite elements even add to the ill-conditioning by introducing high eigenmodes. To overcome this numerical issue we present a scaled thickness conditioning (STC) approach, a mechanically motivated preconditioner for thin-walled s...     »
