Plate Bending Spline Finite Strip Models Using Mixed Formulation and Combined Spline Series

Local Buckling of Plates Using The Spline Finite Strip Method

The spline finite strip method (S.F.S.M.) for buckling analysis of plates and plate assemblies subjected to longitudinal compression and bending, transverse compression as well as shear is described. The method allows for the boundary conditions. Local buckling coefficients of plates with different boundary conditions under compression, bending and shear are calculated. Convergence studies with...

Mixed Finite Element Models for Plate Bending Analysis

The theoretical background of mixed finite element models, in general for nonlinear problems, is briefly reexamined. In the first part of the paper, several alternative “mixed” formulations for 3-D continua undergoing large elastic deformations under the action of time dependent external loading are outlined and are examined incisively. It is concluded that mixed finite element formulations, wh...
