Exploration of Finite Element-Assigned Cellular Automata Method for Predicting Cracking Patterns of Masonry Wall Panels
This paper proposes a new method for predicting the cracking patterns of masonry panels under lateral uniform loads.This method is based on finite element-assigned cellular automata(CA)technology.Firstly,a simple finite element finite element simulation is conducted on the masonry panels under lateral uniformly distributed load conditions,and normalizes the output displacement values to construct a CA numerical modes of wall panel cellular automata.Then,the maximum correlation coefficient method is proposed to match the basic wall panels with known cracking patterns with similar regions of the wall panels with cracking patterns to be predicted;Finally,match the cracked area of the basic wall panel to a similar area of the new wall panel,and plot the cracking pattern of the wall panel to be predicted.Through comparative examples,the proposed method in this article has advan-tages such as anti local interference and high accuracy.
