# Reduced Integration and Hourglass Control
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
Reduced integration evaluates an element with fewer integration points than full quadrature. Hourglass control adds stabilization to suppress spurious zero-energy deformation modes that reduced integration can introduce.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
Reduced integration can reduce computational cost and, in some element families, improve accuracy at special strain-sampling locations. It can also soften elements that otherwise become overly stiff in bending-dominated or nearly incompressible situations.
|
||||
|
||||
The risk is rank deficiency: some displacement patterns can produce little or no strain energy at the reduced integration points. These patterns appear as hourglass or zero-energy modes. Abaqus controls them by adding artificial stiffness or related stabilization terms so the element remains usable without losing the intended benefits of reduced quadrature.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why It Matters
|
||||
|
||||
Reduced integration is not just a cheaper quadrature rule. It changes the numerical behavior of the element and must be judged together with element topology, mesh distortion, material behavior, contact, and expected deformation mode.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connections
|
||||
|
||||
- [[Isoparametric Finite Elements]] supplies the quadrature framework.
|
||||
- [[Abaqus Element Library]] places reduced integration among full, selective, and hybrid element choices.
|
||||
- [[Shell Locking Phenomenon]] is one reason under-integration or assumed-strain methods are introduced.
|
||||
- [[Hybrid Incompressible Elements]] is a more explicit mixed alternative for incompressible response.
