Week - 2 - Explicit and Implicit Analysis
AIM: To solve the given equation by Explicit and Implicit method.
ANSWER 1:
- Final Element Method (FEM) is a numerical method to solve the partial differential equations. And those differential equations can be solve by two methods.
1. EXPLICIT METHOD 2. IMPLICIT METHOD
Explicit Method:
- LS-DYNA primarily used for solving non linear transient dynamic problems using explicit FEM.
- So considering time step , the time step in explicit method is very fast but the method only works when when step delta-t is small.
- Explicit method is a time dependant.
- Explicit method generally used to calculate given system of different time step with current time step.
- It can be used when the process is fast.
- It is a conditionally stable method.
IMPLICIT Method:
- LS-DYNA has capability to solve implicit method too.
- It is a time independant function.
- It is generally used to solve the static problems.
- The implicit method finds a solution by solving an equation that includes both the current and later states of the given system..
- The computation time for this method is more than the expliciti method.
- It can be use in the slower process.
F(u) = u3+9u2+4u use this equation and solve using both Explicit and Implicit Methods ( have a tolerence of 0.001).
For this example three equal load increments (or steps) of ∆F = 1 unit each are used to load the tension bar.Use is made of the relationship ΔF=kΔu">ΔF=kΔu. The analysis proceeds as follows.
By Explicit Method:
`f(u)=u^3+9u^2+4u`
`:. k(u)=(df)/(du)=3u^2+18u+4`
STEP 1 :
put `u0=0,0` then `k(u0)=4`
`DeltaF=1`
Now, `Deltau1=(DeltaF)/(k(u0))=1/4=0.25`
`u1=u0+Deltau1=0+.25=0.25`
STEP 2:
`k(u1)=3(u1)^2+18(u1)+4`
`:. k(u1)=3*(0.25)^2+18*0.25+4`
`k(u1)=8.69`
`DeltaF=1`
`Now, Delta(u2)=(DeltaF)/(k(u1))=1/8.69=0.12`
`u2= u1+Deltau2=0.25+0.12=0.37`
STEP 3
`k(u2)=3(u2)^2+18(u2)+4`
`:. k(u2)=3*(0.37)^2+18*0.37+4=11.07`
`DeltaF=1`
`Now, Delta(u3)=(DeltaF)/(k(u2))=1/11.07=0.09`
`u3= u2+Deltau3=0.37+0.09=0.46`
Finally, from the three steps the following results are obtained.
`Fext = ∆F + ∆F + ∆F = 3.0`
(Fint)1=`(u1)^3+9(u1)^2+4(u1)=0.25^3+9*0.25^2+4*0.25=1.58`
(Fint)2=`(u2)^3+9(u2)^2+4(u2)=0.37^3+9*0.37^2+4*0.37=2.8`
(Fint)3= `(u3)^3+9(u3)^2+4(u3)=0.46^3+9*0.46^2+4*0.46=3.84`
It is evident from the results that external and internal forces are NOT in equilibrium because
Fext `!=` fint.
SUMMARY:
| Step i | `DeltaFi` | `Deltaui` | `ui` | (Fext)i | (fint)i | fint-Fext=R |
| 1 | 1.0 | 0.25 | 0.25 | 1 | 1.58 | 0.58 |
| 2 | 1.0 | 0.12 | 0.37 | 2 | 2.8 | 0.8 |
| 3 | 1.0 | 0.09 | 0.46 | 3 | 3.84 | 0.84 |
By Implicit Method:
`f(u)=u^3+9u^2+4u`
`:. k(u)=(df)/(du)=3u^2+18u+4`
STEP 1:
put `u0=0,0` then `k(u0)=4`
`DeltaF=1`
Now, `Deltau1=(DeltaF)/(k(u0))=1/4=0.25`
`u1=u0+Deltau1=0+.25=0.25`
Check the residual,
`Fext=DeltaF=1`
Fint= `(u1)^3+9(u1)^2+4(u1)=0.25^3+9*0.25^2+4*0.25=1.58`
`R^(0)=fInt-Fext=1.58-1=0.58`
`||R^(0)|| > 10^(−2)` so Newton-Raphson iterations are necessary.
Calculate correction to
`u1=u1^(0)`
`deltau^1=-[k(u1^(0))]^-1R^0= -1/8.69*0.58=-0.067`
the updated value:
`u1^(0)+deltau^(1)=0.25-0.067=0.183`
Check the residual again,
`Fext=DeltaF=1`
Fint= `(u1^1)^3+9(u1^1)^2+4(u1^1)=1.04`
`R^1=fInt-Fext=0.039`
`||R^1||>10^(-2)`
So another interation is required.
Calculate the new total correction to `u1 = u1^(0)`
`deltau^((2))=deltau^((1))-[k(u)^((1))]^-1R^((1))`
`=-0.067-8.69^-1-0.03`
`deltau^((2))=-0.0714`
The updated value of , `u1^((2))=u1^((0))=delta^((2))`
`=0.25-0.0714=0.1786`
Check the residual ;
`Fext=1 and FInt=(u1)^3+9(u1)^2+4(u1)`
`=0.1786^3+9*0.1786^2+4*0.1786=1.0071`
`R^((2))=fInt-Fext=1.0071-1=0.0071`
`||R^((2))||<10^-2`
`:.` No iteration is needed , `u1=0.1786`
Step 2 & 3 : We will calculate this as above
and we got `u2=0.2966 and u3=0.3911`
| Step i | `DeltaFi` | `ui` | (Fext)i | `(FInt)i` | `fInt-Fext=R` |
| 1 | 1 | 0.1786 | 1 | 1.007 | 0.007 |
| 2 | 1 | 0.2965 | 2 | 2.004 | 0.004 |
| 3 | 1 | 0.3911 | 3 | 3.001 | 0.001 |
