This paper continues series of papers devoted to verification of discrete-continual finite element method (DCFEM) for two-dimensional problems of structural analysis. Formulation of the problem for deep beam with piecewise constant physical and geometrical parameters along so-called its basic direction, solutions obtained by DCFEM and finite element method (FEM) /with the use of ANSYS Mechanical/, their comparison are presented. It was confirmed that DCFEM is more effective in the most critical, vital, potentially dangerous areas of structure in terms of fracture (areas of the so-called edge effects), where some components of solution are rapidly changing functions and their rate of change in many cases can’t be adequately taken into account by the standard FEM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
