摘要

This paper proposes a method to alleviate shear locking in the direct FE2 method using incompatible elements. The direct FE2 method can perform efficiently multiscale analysis of composite structures by establishing a direct relation between macro and micro elements using multipoint constraints. However, parasitic shear strains in macro elements under bending deformations cause shear locking in the direct FE2 method. To address this issue, the generalized displacements of incompatible elements are applied to the boundary conditions between macro and micro elements. The present method effectively alleviate shear locking in the direct FE2 method to improve the accuracy of solutions.
