Abstract

Free and forced vibration analyses performed by polygonal edge-based strain smoothed finite element method is presented. Problem domain is discretized into small n-sided arbitrary polygonal elements. Those elements will be further subdivided into small triangular shape according to polygonal shape edges called smoothing domains. Benchmark problem is a castellated cantilever beam. Fixed support boundary condition is imposed to left edge while downward shear traction is applied on another free ended for forced vibration analysis. Transient vibration analysis also performed using triangular linear time variation. A close-to-exact solutions obtained from finite element employed very fine mesh due to unavailable exact solutions of the example problem will be used for comparison purpose. The first six natural frequencies along with their corresponding mode shapes are investigated and found in good agreement with references. The vertical response in time of selected node for transient analysis also showed in good agreement with reference.
