The Phantom-node Method for Cracked Problems in Shell Structures
- Published : 2010.04.08
Abstract
This paper presents an method, called the phantom-node method, for representing discontinuities in shell structures. By decomposing an element completely cut by a crack into two overlapped elements special treatment of the MITC3 shell element to overcome "locking phenomenon" is straightforward. Two numerical examples are provided.
