This paper is devoted to actual problems of application of various approximating
meshes in discrete-continual finite element method of analysis of structures with regular
(constant or piecewise constant) physical and geometrical parameters in one dimension
(direction). Unstructured approximating meshes (with the use of discrete-continual finite
elements with quadrilateral or triangular cross-sections) are under consideration. Besides,
basic introduction to discrete-continual finite element method is presented as well.
Keywords: structural analysis; discrete-continual finite element method; unstructured approximating meshes. |
