General Description

This element is based on Kiendl et al. 2009 [1] and Phd Thesis of J.Kiendl.

Example of a Complete Input Block 

EL-PROP 1 : SHELL_NURBS_KL  
  MAT= EL-MAT 1                                      !material property
  THICKNESS = 1.0
  COUPLING = EL-PROP 6                       !BRep coupling element to handle C^0 continuity inside the patch
! STABILIZATION = EL-PROP 7               !Stabilization element for improving condition number (requires some tests, no optimal solution)
  NEJA = NURBS !DIP or FULL                 !Method for handling the integration for trimmed elements(use NURBS)
  INT_TYPE_SHELL_NURBS_KL = USER !or FULL or OPTIMAL   !FULL means p+1 and q+1;OPTIML uses in the interior of the patch less quadrature points (some tests required for higher polynomial degrees >3
! GAUSS_U = 4                                          !# of quadratur points in u-dir in case of INT_TYPE = USER
! GAUSS_V = 4                                          !# of quadratur points in u-dir in case of INT_TYPE = USER


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

Compulsory Parameters
Parameter Values, Default(*) Description
MAT EL-MAT int Linking to a material input block
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
  • DIP: Discrete Integration procedure does not work properly, requires improvement (quadrature points must fullfill the moment fitting equations)
  • FULL: Full integration of trimmed elements (not recommended)
Optional Parameters
Parameter Values, Default(*) Description
GAUSS_U GAUSS_U = int Number of quadrature points in u-direction. Requires INT_TYPE_SHELL_NURBS_KL= USER
GAUSS_V GAUSS_V = int Number of quadrature points in v-direction. Requires INT_TYPE_SHELL_NURBS_KL= USER
COUPLING EL-PROP= int BRep coupling element to handle C^0 continuity inside the patch
STABILIZATION EL-PROP= int Stabilization element for improving condition number (requires some tests, no optimal solution)
PRESTRESS_CRV PRESTRESS_CRV = AUTO All curvature terms (b_ref) are set to zero in stiff_mat_el_nln(). This is equal to having a flat patch as reference patch
PRESTRESS_CL_A1 PRESTRESS_CL_A1 = AUTO covariant metric for reference configuration (gab_ref[0] and gab_ref[2]) is set to the one of the center line (v_mid=const) in stiff_mat_el_nln(). This is only valid for special case of pre-bent lamellas.
PRESTRESS_CL_A2 PRESTRESS_CL_A2 = AUTO covariant metric for reference configuration (gab_ref[1] and gab_ref[2]) is set to the one of the center line (u_mid=const) in stiff_mat_el_nln(). This is only valid for special case of pre-bent lamellas.

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'
