Quadrilateral Plate Bending Element Allowing for Transverse Shear Deformation Effects.

Superconvergence in Projected-Shear Plate-Bending Finite Element Methods

Projected-shear nite element methods for periodic Reissner-Mindlin plate model are analyzed for rectangular meshes. A projection operator is applied to the shear stress term in the bilinear form. Optimal error estimates in the L 2-norm, H 1-norm, and the energy norm for both displacement and rotations are established and gradient superconvergence along the Gauss lines is justiied in some weak s...

Analysis of Bending and Buckling of Circular Porous Plate Using First-Order Shear Deformation Theory

Porous materials are lightweight, flexible and resistant to hairline cracks, so today with the development of technology porous structure produced for use in various industries. This structure widely use in beams, plates and shells. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of porosity in axial symmetry in bending and buckling load sheet for analysis. For this purpose, a circular p...

nonlinear bending analysis of thick functionally graded plates based on third-order shear deformation plate theory

in this paper the nonlinear bending analysis of thick functionally graded plates subjected to mechanical loading is studied. the formulation is derived based on the third-order shear deformation plate theory and von kármán type non-linearity. young’s modulus is assumed to vary according to a power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. the principle of virtual wo...

A refined inverse hyperbolic shear deformation theory for bending analysis of functionally graded porous plates

The modern engineering structures require the advanced engineering materials to resist the high temperatures and to provide high stiffness. In particular the functionally graded porous materials (FGPMs) introduced are expected to have these desired properties, consequently eliminating local stress concentration and de-lamination. In the present paper, a new shear strains shape function is chose...
