Abstract
The finite element absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) leads to beam and plate models that relax the assumption of the classical Euler-bernoulli and Timoshenko beam and Mindlin plate theories. In these more general models, the cross section is allowed to deform and it is no longer treated as a rigid surface. The coupling between the bending and cross section deformations leads to the new ANCF-coupled deformation modes that are examined in this study. While these coupled deformation can be source of numerical and convergence problems when thin and stiff beam models are considered, the inclusion of the effect of these modes in the dynamic model is necessary in the case of very flexible structures. In order to examine the effect of these coupled deformation modes in this investigation, three different large deformation dynamic beam models are discussed. Two of these models, which differ in the way the beam elastic forces are calculated in the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, allow for systematically eliminating the coupled deformation modes, while the third allows for including these modes. The first of these models is based on a general continuum mechanics approach that leads to a model that includes the ANCF-coupled deformation modes; while the second and third methods that can be used to eliminate the coupled deformation modes are based on the elastic line approach and the Hellinger-Reissner principle. It is shown in this study that the inclusion of the ANCF-coupled deformation modes introduces geometric stiffening effects that can not be captured using other finite element models.
