Week - 2 - Explicit and Implicit Analysis

Aim- To sove for the equation using explicit and implicit method.

Implicit Method

The displacement is independent function of time, which implies the velocity and accleration which are time derivaties of displacement are zero. The mass and the damping factors are also negelected. Implicit function can be represented with the newton raphson method. In this method the stiffness matrix is inverted. Implicit matrix is genrally used in the softwares such as Ansys, Nastran, Abaqus.

Explicit Method

Explicit Method is a time dependent function. Since displacement is a time dependent function the velocit and acceleration as well as the mass and damping are considered in the calculation. central difference time integration is used to calculate field variables at the respective nodal points. Explicit function is generally used for non linear problems because a numerical solution is possible for a non linear ordinary differential equation.Explicit method work on time step increments. Ls Dyna is one of the software used to solve explicit dynamics problems such as Crash, Impact, Penetration etc.

Explicit method

F(u) = u3+9u2+4u (1)

K(u) = dF/du = 3u2 +18u + 4 (2)

Step1

Take u = 0 in (2)

(2) => k(u0) = 3 x 02 + 18 x 0 + 4 = 4

= /k(u0) = ¼ = 0.25

u1= u0+ = 0.25

Fint = (0.25)3 + 9 x (0.25)2 +4 x 0.25 = 1.578

Step2

Take u1 = 0.25 in (2)

(2) => k(u1) = 3 x 0.252 + 18 x 0.25 + 4 = 8.6875

= /k(u1) = 1/8.6875 = 0.1151

U2= u1+ = 0.3651

Fint = (0.3651)3 + 9 x (0.3651)2 +4 x 0.3651 = 2.708

Step3

Take u2 = 0.3651 in (2)

(2) => k(u2) = 3 x 0.36512 + 18 x 0.3651 + 4 = 10.9716

= /k(u2) = 1/10.9716 = 0.09114

U3= u2+ = 0.46

To determine whether the analysis is equilibrium

Fext = = 3

Fint = (0.46)3 + 9 x (0.46)2 +4 x 0.46 = 3.841

Hence Fext fint the analysis is not equilibrium

Implicit method

F(u) = u3+9u2+4u (1)

K(u) = dF/du = 3u2 +18u + 4 (2)

Step1

Take u = 0 in (2)

(2) => k(u0) = 3 x 02 + 18 x 0 + 4 = 4

= /k(u0) = ¼ = 0.25

u1= u0+ = 0.25

Residual R

Fint = (0.25)3 + 9 x (0.25)2 +4 x 0.25 = 1.578

R0 = 1.578 – 1 = 0.578 > 102

So, Newton-Raphson iterations is necessary

The correction u1 = u1(0)

u(1) = -[k(u1(0)-1 x R0

= -[(3 x 0.252 ) + (18 x 0.250) +4]-1 x 0.578

=-0.0665

U1(1) = u1(0) + u(1)

= 0.25 – 0.0665 = 0.1835

Residual R1

Fint = (0.1835)3 + 9 x (0.1835)2 +4 x 0.1835 = 1.0432

R0 = 1.0432 – 1 = 0.432 > 102

So, Newton-Raphson iterations is necessary

The correction u1 = u1(1)

u(2) = u(2) -[k(u1(1)-1 x R1

=(-0.0665) -(8.6875 -1 )x 0.0432

=-0.0714

U1(2) = u1(1) + u(2)

= 0.25 – 0.0714 = 0.1786

Residual R1

Fint = (0.1786)3 + 9 x (0.1786)2 +4 x 0.1786 = 1.0071

R0 = 1.0071 – 1 = 0.0071 < 102

No residual needed

U1 = 0.1786

Similarly we drived u2 = 2966, u3 = 0.3911
