    Notes: The stability of time integration for a semidiscretization of structures and continua where the mesh is partitioned into subdomains integrated simultaneously by explicit and implicit methods is considered. Stability in energy is proven for linear systems subject to the Courant condition in the explicit subdomain for a central difference explicit and trapezoidal implicit integrator. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the procedure.

    Notes: Eigenvalues are obtained for the 4-node Mindlin plate element with one-point quadrature. Both isotropic and some anisotropic matenals are considered, but for the latter only bounds are obtained on the eigenvalues. These eigenvalues provide stable time steps for explicit time integration algorithms.

    Notes: Low-order triangular finite shell elements are computationally economical and easy to implement, but often exhibit very slow convergence. Two new membrane formulations for triangular shell elements are examined which rectify these drawbacks. The first element is based on the Marguerre shallow shell theory and a strain projection method that eliminates spurious membrane strain energy. Resulting expressions are provided in an explicit form for easy implementation of the element. The second element is based on a linear membrane field governed by normal rotations and reduced quadrature.The difficulties with shell-normal rotations are analysed and a method for omitting these rotations while preserving rigid body motion is presented and tested. Finally, a set of test problems are examined which show the importance of mesh patterns and degrees-of-freedom per node on triangular element performance.

    Notes: The probabilistic finite element method (PFEM) is formulated for linear and non-linear continua with inhomogeneous random fields. Analogous to the discretization of the displacement field in finite element methods, the random field is also discretized. The formulation is simplified by transforming the correlated variables to a set of uncorrelated variables through an eigenvalue orthogonalization. Furthermore, it is shown that a reduced set of the uncorrelated variables is sufficient for the second-moment analysis. Based on the linear formulation of the PFEM, the method is then extended to transient analysis in non-linear continua.The accuracy and efficiency of the method is demonstrated by application to a one-dimensional, elastic/plastic wave propagation problem and a two-dimensional plane-stress beam bending problem. The moments calculated compare favourably with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. Also, the procedure is amenable to implementation in deterministic FEM based computer programs.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, a stochastic damage model is proposed for the rupture prediction of a brittle, multi-phase material. The model, based on the macrocrack-microcrack interaction, characterizes damage by microcracking and fracture by macrocracking. The model incorporates uncertainties in locations, orientations and numbers of microcracks. Owing to the high concentration of microcracks within the frontal damage zone near the macro-tip, a higher order analysis based on traction boundary integral equations is formulated for an arbitrary array of cracks. The change of the stress intensity at the macrocrack tip by the configuration of microcracks is investigated through a parametric study. The presence of large fluctuation in the stress intensity at the macro-tip justifies the use of the statistical approach, which will be presented in a companion paper.

    Notes: Abstract The stochastic damage model, which has been proposed in Part I of this paper, is utilized to analyze quantitatively the effects of uncertainties in locations, orientations and numbers of microcracks at the macro-tip. This is accomplished by introducing a computer simulation model which incorporates a statistical characterization of geometrical parameters of a random microcrack array. The counteracting effects of microcracking on the fracture toughness, namely, toughness enhancement and toughness degradation, are explored statistically through the change of the location and size of the near tip damage zone. The effects of changes in the geometric configuration and density of microcracks at the macro-tip are also examined through the present statistical approach. The validity of the present model is verified by comparing the obtained statistical distribution with the analytic model based on the Neville distribution function. A very good fit achieved by the use of the Neville function demonstrates the potential of the present damage model, in predicting the inherent statistical distribution of the fracture toughness from the intrinsic random microdefects.

    Notes: In this paper, a Mindlin plate element is formulated based on the Hellinger-Reissner principle and the γ-technique. The stiffness consists of a constant stress (one-point quadrature) matrix and a stabilization matrix. The stabilization matrix is compared with those previously proposed. In addition, the element uses a projection to modify the nodal displacements so that the patch test is satisfied. The projection matrix is based on a mode decomposition. Several numerical cases are presented, and it is shown that the mode decomposition projection is necessary both for satisfaction of the patch test and convergence.

    Notes: An assumed strain (strain interpolation) method is used to construct a stabilization matrix for the 9-node shell element. The stabilization procedure can be justified based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational method. It involves a projection vector which is orthogonal to both linear and quadratic fields in the local co-ordinate system of each quadrature point. All terms in the development involve 2 × 2 quadrature in the 9-node element. Example problems show good accuracy and an almost optimal rate of convergence.

    Notes: Contact-impact algorithms, which are sometimes called slideline algorithms, are a computationally time-consuming part of many explicit simulations of non-linear problems because they involve many branches, so they are not amenable to vectorization, which is essential for speed on supercomputers. The pinball algorithm is a simplified slideline algorithm which is readily vectorized. Its major idea is to embed pinballs in surface elements and to enforce the impenetrability condition only to pinballs. It can be implemented in either a Lagrange multiplier or penalty method. It is shown that, in any Lagrange multiplier method, no iterations are needed to define the contact surface. Examples of solutions and running times are given.
