EFFICIENT NUMERICAL MODELLING OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED SHELL MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR

Journal Title: Applied Computer Science - Year 2019, Vol 15, Issue 1

Abstract

Numerical analysis of the static bending and free vibration mechanical behavior of FGM are performed using the UMAT-USDFLD subroutines in ABAQUS software. Different combinations of geometries, mechanical loading and boundary conditions are adopted. The material properties according to the coordinates of the integration points are defined in the developed numerical model. The First Order Deformation Theory is used for thin and moderately thick FG shells analysis. The accuracy and the robustness of the numerical model are illustrated through the solution of several non trivial structure problems. The proposed numerical procedure is significantly efficient from the computational point of view.
