Abstract
AbstractIn view of recent trends towards lightweight structural designs, the numerical modelling of shell structures is a subject of high interest. Here, major challenges are associated with locking effects. This contribution presents a first approach to the numerical analysis of shell structures using the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). First studies such as a simplified plane strain arch formulation to approximate an axisymmetric cylindrical shell are presented. This approximation already shows a high correlation with the membrane theory of shells. Furthermore, first results obtained for 3D shell formulations illustrate the potential of the proposed approach based on the SBFEM. (© 2017 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
