Free and Forced Transverse Vibration Analysis of Moderately Thick Orthotropic Plates Using Spectral Finite Element Method

In the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of Levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. Levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. In the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...

Mixed finite element modelling of cartilaginous tissues

Swelling and shrinking of cartilaginous tissues is modelled by a four-component mixture theory. This theory results in a set of coupled non-linear partial differential equations for the electro-chemical potentials and the displacement. For the sake of local mass conservation these equations are discretised in space by a mixed finite element method. Integration in time by backward Euler leads to...

3D Mesoscale Finite Element Modelling of Concrete

Concrete is non-homogeneous and is composed of three main constituent phases from a mesoscopic viewpoint, namely aggregates, mortar matrix, and interface transition zone (ITZ). A mesoscale model with explicit representation of the three distinctive phases is needed for investigation into the damage processes underlying the macroscopic behaviour of the composite material. This paper presents a f...

Innovative Finite Element Methods for Plates*

Finite element methods for the Reissner–Mindlin plate theory are discussed. Methods in which both the tranverse displacement and the rotation are approximated by finite elements of low degree mostly suffer from locking. However a number of related methods have been devised recently which avoid locking effects. Although the finite element spaces for both the rotation and transverse displacement ...
