An isogeometric locking-free NURBS-based solid-shell element for geometrically nonlinear analysis

Résumé

In this work, we develop an isogeometric non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS)-based solid-shell element for the geometrically nonlinear static analysis of elastic shell structures. A single layer of continuous 3D elements through the thickness of the shell is considered, and the order of approximation in that direction is chosen to be equal to two. A complete 3D constitutive relation is assumed. The objective is to develop a highly accurate low-order element for coarse meshes. We propose an extension of the mixed method of Bouclier et al. [11] to deal with locking in the context of large rotations and large displacements. The main idea is to modify the interpolation of the average through the thickness of the stress components. It is also necessary to stabilize the element in order to avoid the occurrence of spurious zero-energy modes. This was achieved, for the quadratic version, through the adjunction of artificial elementary stabilization stiffnesses. The result is an element of order 2, which is at least as accurate as standard NURBS shell elements of order 4. Linear and nonlinear test calculations have been carried out along with comparisons with other published NURBS and classical techniques in order to assess the performance of the element.
