Examples
The following examples are provided to illustrate how users could use FEAP to solve some basic problems.
Static Analyses
Thermal Analyses
Example of a hollow thermal tube with external temperatures and inner fluxes
Example of a 3D hollow thermal tube with external temperatures and inner fluxes
Coupled Thermo-mechanical Analyses
Hill-Mandel Computations
FEAP has a facility for computing Hill-Mandel averages, stress and tangent tensor components. To use this facility one needs to have a periodic mesh.
Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer boundary conditions
FEAP has a simple Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer boundary element that can be used to approximate a non-reflecting boundary in a transient computation.
Contact Problems
Isogeometric Analyses
J-Integral Computation
FEAP has a facility for computing J Integrals (energy release rates) in elastic problems. The feature is slightly experimental so please verify that you are getting sensible answers for your class of problems before relying on it.
Plate buckling
Plate buckling and shell buckling computations came be made using FEAP's linear shell element.
