Abstract

The original Mindlin-type degenerated shell element perform reasonably well for moderately thick shell structures. However, when full integration for analysis of thin shell is used to evaluate the stiffness matrix, the stiffness of shell element is often over-estimated due to shear or membrane locking phenomena. To correct this problem, the formulation of the new degenerated shell element is derived by the combination of two different techniques. The first type of elements(TypeⅠ) has used assumed shear strains in the natural coordinate system to overcome the shear locking problem, the reduced integration technique in in-plane strains(membrane strains) to avoid membrane locking behaviour. Another element(TypeⅡ) has applied the assumed strains to both of membrane strain and transverse shear strains. The improved degenerated shell element has been tested by several numerical problems of shell structures. Numerical results indicate that this shell element shows fast convergence and reliable solutions.

기존의 Mindlin이론을 바탕으로 한 감절점 쉘 요소는 두께가 두꺼운 쉘 구조를 해석할 경우 매우 좋은 결과가 얻어지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 두께가 얇은 쉘의 경우 전단구속 및 막구속 현상으로 인해 요소의 강성이 과대하게 평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 두 가지 막 및 전단 구속 해결방법을 조합하여 쉘 요소에 적용하였다. 첫 번째 요소는 전단 변형률에 가정된 전단변형률을 적용하였고, 막 변형률에는 감차적분법을 적용하였다. 두 번째 요소의 경우, 막 변형률과 전단 변형률 모두에 가정된 전단 변형률을 적용하여 쉘 구조해석을 수행하였다. 여러 가지 수치 해석을 수행한 결과, 두 가지 쉘 요소가 빠른 수렴성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 막 구속과 전단 구속 현상이 제거된 것을 나타났다.
