A Finite Element Formulation for the Analysis of Local Effects

Abstract

The paper reviews the progress achieved in the analysis of geometry and load dependent local effects, based on an alternative FE formulation known as the hybrid-Trefftz (HT) FE model. A brief description with examples presents the developments which have lead to a simple p-adaptive analysis of structures with stress-raisers (e.g., holes, cracks and corners) in presence of multiple load cases, including local concentrated loads.
