Data-driven based stable analysis algorithm for nonlinear truss structures with geometric instabilities
摘要
For structural analysis considering large deformation, the quest for various equilibrium states, especially snap-through behavior, is challenging. This study introduces a sequential linear programming algorithm tailored for truss structures undergoing large deformation within the data-driven computational mechanics framework. The essential advantage lies in the capacity of this algorithm to capture geometric instabilities and obtain various equilibrium states in a stable and controllable way by manipulating the initial step size, such as snap-through and post-buckling. Furthermore, since data points represent the material constitutive model, the proposed algorithm can be applied to large deformation analysis of truss structures with linear and nonlinear material constitutive models. Numerical examples affirm that the results obtained by the proposed algorithm not only satisfy the calculation of strain measures but also yield a relative error in the external force on the order of
