Element Type

  • The element formulation is well tested for static and dynamic linear and nonlinear analysis.
  • Stresses for nonlinear case need to be corrected.
  • Can be used for thin shell structures

Degrees of Freedom

The element uses three translatoric degrees of freedom (Disp_X, Disp_Y, Disp_Z) at each control point.

Parameter Description

INT_TYPE_SHELL_NURBS_KL FULL, USER, OPTIMAL Control of integration type.
  • FULL: p+1 and q+1 quadrature points are used (p and q are the polynomial degrees of the NURBS patch)
  • USER: the optional parameters GAUSS_U and GAUSS_V define the number of quadrature points
  • OPTIMAL: uses in the interior of the patch less quadrature points (some tests required for higher polynomial degrees >3
THICKNESS float Thickness of the shell
NEJA NURBS, DIP, FULL Integration technique for trimmed elements
  • NURBS: trimmed elements are parametrized with untrimmed NURBS within the parameter space

Element Loading

The KL shell element is able to handle the following loads:

  • dead load
  • snow load
  • pressure load

Benchmarks

The main benchmark file in the Carat++-repository is

  • '../examples/benchmark_examples/isogeometric/KL_shell_trim_plate_hole/cbm_plate_with_hole.txt'.

It is further used in:

  • '../examples/benchmark_examples/isogeometric/isogeometric_trim_non_linear/cbm_PlateHoleLineSupHighAcc.txt.txt'
