hourglasscontrol

In order to prevent the possible singularity due to the reduced integration scheme, hourglass control stiffness was used in the element stiffness calculation.

Hourglassing can be kept in check by invoking a suitable HG control algorithm that creates internal forces to resist hourglass modes. ▫ Hourglass energy, which ...

Hourglassing can usually be controlled by applying internal forces to resist hourglass modes via one of several HG control algorithms. ▫ Hourglass energy, ...
