Simulation of Cook's membrane using enhanced elements

Here, we demonstrate the performance of the so-called Q1E4 element using beam clamped on one end and subjected to a load by the free end. This problem is commonly referred as Cook's membrane. The material is taken as a nearly incompressible.

Firstly, we consider linear elasticity with $E = 250$ and $\nu = 0.4999$

Geometry and loading of Cook's membrane

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Results are coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, we use large strain model

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Under construction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can download the mesh generator for Cook's membrane written in Matlab here: meshgeneratorcooksmembrane.zip
