Abstract

This work presents dynamic analyses of one-dimensional bar and Euler–Bernoulli beam problems with Generalized Finite Element Method (GFEM). Enrichment monomials are trigonometric and exponential functions. A beam free vibration problem is analyzed to assess the element’s robustness and efficiency. Next, an elastodynamic analysis of a bar is performed using several enrichment levels. Finally, a dynamic elastoplastic analysis of a beam problem is carried out. Error measures and nonlinear strains are estimated. Results from GFEM are compared to results from a conventional FE formulation to show GFEM’s level of efficiency in solving Euler–Bernoulli beam elastic as well as elastoplastic dynamic problems.
