Analysis of Soil Penetration Problems by High-Order Elements

Abstract:

This paper addresses the application of high-order elements in the analysis of soil penetration problems, particularly those involving inertia forces and large deformations. Among others, 15-node triangular elements are formulated within an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian finite element method. Preliminary studies indicate that high-order elements can significantly decrease the analysis time without significant loss of accuracy.
