1 On the Matlab S-FEM code for 2D problems using T3 and Q4 elements These codes were developed by Liu, Nguyen and workers. The detailed theoretical background, formulation and implementation procedure are given in the book: Liu, G. R. and Nguyen Thoi Trung, Smoothed Finite Element Method, CRC press, Boca Raton, USA, Important note: The authors decided to release the source codes free of charge with the hope that the S- FEM technique can be applied to more problems and can be further developed into even more powerful methods. The authors are not be able to provide any services or user-guides, but appreciate very much your feedback on errors and suggestions, so that we can improve these codes/methods in the future. If the idea, method, and any part of these codes are used in anyway, the users are required to cite the book and the following related original papers of the authors: Liu, G. R., The Finite element method a practical course, Elsevier (BH), UK Liu, G.

4 A brief overall view on the use of these codes is given as follows. Some guidance is given in the commend lines of the source codes. Main file : main_2d_problems.m There are 3 major processes: Preprocess Solution Postprocess 1. Preprocessor 1.1. Choice of examples: there are two examples (with the analytical solutions) 1) cantilever (a rectangular cantilever loaded at the end) 2) platehole (infinite plate with a circular hole) 1.2. Choice of the methods: there are 7 methods including 1) FEM_T3 (FEM using 3-node triangular elements) 2) FEM_Q4 (FEM using 4-node quadrilateral elements) 3) CSFEM_Q4 (cell-based smoothed FEM using 4-node quadrilateral elements) Input the number of smoothing cells per element (1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 16) 4) NSFEM_T3 (node-based smoothed FEM using 3-node triangular elements) 5) NSFEM_Q4 (node-based smoothed FEM using 4-node quadrilateral elements) 6) ESFEM_T3 (cell-based smoothed FEM using 3-node triangular elements) 7) Alpha_FEM_T3 (alpha FEM using 3-node triangular elements) Input the value of parameter alpha α [ 0,1] 1.3. Input the initial data of the problem: density of element mesh 1.4. Compute the necessary data from the initial data including: coordinates of nodes (gcoord), element connectivity (ele_nods), boundary conditions (bcdof, bcval) and force vector (ff). 2. Solution procedure 2.1. Compute the stiffness matrix: K For NSFEM_T3 and ESFEM_T3: there are two schemes (optional): 1 st scheme: basing on the boundary of smoothing domains NSFEM_T3: [K]=cal_K_NSFEM_T3_boun(nod_adjele,area_nod);
5 ESFEM_T3: [K]=cal_K_ESFEM_T3_boun(edge_data,area_edg); 2 nd scheme: taking average of the adjacent elements of nodes or edges NSFEM_T3: [K]=cal_K_NSFEM_T3_aver(nod_adjele,area_nod,area_T3); ESFEM_T3: [K]=cal_K_ESFEM_T3_aver(edge_data,area_edg,area_T3); For CSFEM_Q4 and ESFEM_T3: there is also the selective scheme used for nearly incompressible materials CSFEM_Q4: [K]=cal_K_CSFEM_Q4_selective(nSD); ESFEM_T3: [K]=cal_K_ESFEM_T3_selective(edge_data,area_T3,area_edg); 2.2. Apply the boundary condition: [K,ff]=apply_bcdof(K,ff,bcdof,bcval); 2.3. Solve the system of equations to obtain the nodal displacement vector 3. Postprocess 3.1. Compute the strain energy of system (energy) 3.2. Compute error norms: in displacement (norm_disp), in energy (norm_e) and recovery energy (norm_ereco) 3.3. Output error norms and plot the results of displacement and stresses.
