In this work, a new locking-free and physically stabilized formulation of the SHB8PS solid-shell element is presented. The resulting finite element consists of a continuum mechanics shell element based on a purely three-dimensional approach. This eight-node hexahedron is integrated with a set of five Gauss points, all distributed along the “thickne...
Cette présentation porte un regard critique quant aux capacités des simulations actuelles (utilisant les logiciels de calcul par éléments finis disponibles) à prédire de manière fiable les phénomènes observés lors de la mise en forme des matériaux métalliques et dans les procédés de fabrication associés.
In this paper, the formulation of a new six-node solid–shell element denoted (SHB6) is proposed. This prismatic element is based on a purely three-dimensional approach, and hence has displacements as the only degrees of freedom. A reduced integration scheme is adopted consisting of one-point in-plane quadrature and an arbitrary number of integratio...
In this paper, the earlier formulation of the SHB8PS finite element is revised in order to eliminate some persistent membrane and shear locking phenomena. This new formulation consists of a solid-shell element based on a purely three-dimensional approach. More specifically, the element has eight nodes, with displacements as the only degrees of free...

Une nouvelle formulation de l'élément solide–coque SHB6 est décrite. Il s'agit d'un élément isoparamétrique prismatique à 6 noeuds, interpolation linéaire et intégration réduite dans le plan moyen. Les déplacements sont les seuls d.d.l. et les points d'intégration sont distribués à travers l'épaisseur. L'analyse de hourglass a révélé qu'il n'y a pa...

This paper proposes an acoustic multi-touch tactile sensing method. The proposed method is based on an amplitude disturbed ultrasonic wave diffraction pattern. An A0 Lamb wave transmitted in a thin finite copper plate is processed to provide tactile information, for one or two fingers. A touch event is localized by identifying the diffraction signa...
This paper presents advances in non-linear simulations for systems with contact-friction, with an application to brake squeal. A method is proposed to orient component structural modifications from brake assembly simulations in the frequency and time domains. A reduction method implementing explicitly component-wise degrees of freedom at the system...
