摘要
It is not convenient to solve those engineering problems defined in an infinite field by using FEM. An infinite area can be divided into a regular infinite external area and a finite internal area. The finite internal area was dealt with by the FEM and the regular infinite external area was settled in a polar coordinate. All governing equations were transformed into the Hamiltonian system. The methods of variable separation and eigenfunction expansion were used to derive the stiffness matrix of a new infinite analytical element.This new element, like a super finite element, can be combined with commonly used finite elements. The proposed method was verified by numerical case studies. The results show that the preparation work is very simple, the infinite analytical element has a high precision, and it can be used conveniently. The method can also be easily extended to a three-dimensional problem.
