Global-Local Finite Element Structural Analysis, Analytical Considerations/Element Formulation.
Abstract
The analytical developments for a computer code based on the concept of 'Global-Local Finite Elements' are presented in this report. In this type of analysis, both the classical Ritz and the finite element approaches are used simultaneously. The role of the global functions will be to capture the bulk of the response while the finite elements provide the necessary adjustments to satisfy whatever local geometric and material property variations that exist.
