Evaluation of locking mitigation techniques and development of locking-free ANCF shell elements for nearly incompressible materials based on the Yeoh model
Key Points
The locking-free ANCF shell elements enhance modeling for nearly incompressible materials, improving accuracy and stability.
Key evidence shows significant reduction in locking effects, marked by improved performance metrics in simulations.
Assessment of locking mitigation techniques demonstrates their effectiveness in enhancing material behavior predictions.
This work may enable broader applications of finite element methods for complex material structures; further tests are needed.
