The use of thin-walled structures for the sustainable development of agro-industrial systems and facilities

Abstract

The issues of optimal use of strength resources of materials from which elements of thin-walled objects of the agro-industrial complex are made for the purpose of sustainable development of agricultural production are currently coming to the fore. In this regard, the development of modern algorithms for the numerical analysis of the processes of physically nonlinear deformation of thin-walled objects of agro-industrial complex of various sizes and shapes is becoming a rather urgent topic. The article proposes an algorithm for the finite element analysis of physically nonlinear deformation of thin-walled objects of the agro-industrial complex, taking into account the transverse shear, based on the hypotheses of the theory of plastic flow The element of discretization of the thin-walled object of the agricultural and industrial complex was a four-node fragment of its middle surface. The stiffness matrix of this sampling unit was obtained in the process of minimizing the Lagrange functional with respect to the sought nodal parameters, which were the components of the step vector of displacement and their first-order partial derivatives, as well as the components of the step vector of the angles of rotation of the normal.
