Abstract:
      A new reinforcement membrane embedded finite element model and the technique of its automatic mesh generation are presented.Because reinforcement membranes in the embedded element can be in arbitrary directions,the position and direction of reinforcement needn't be taken into account when using the model to subdivide a structure,and limitations of existing models,such as the fixed steel bar position,are overcome.Using the technique of automatic mesh generation,the information of membranes in the embedded elements can be generated automatically after the coordinates of its four corners are put in.Examples show the model is applicable and effective.
