Slender Compressed Plate in Component Based Finite Element Model

Finite Element Thin Plate

Thin plate splines have been used successfully to model curves and surfaces. A new application is in data mining where they are used to model interaction terms. These interaction splines break the \curse of di-mensionality" by reducing the high-dimensional nonparametric regression problem to the determination of a set of interdependent surfaces. However , the determination of the corresponding ...

Finite Element Computations for the Reissner-mindlin Plate Model

We consider the nite element (FE) approximation of the Reissner-Mindlin (RM) plate model, and indicate how to design meshes that yield accurate results when the p=hp version of the standard FE method is used. These guidelines allow quantities of engineering interest to be numerically predicted with great conndence near the boundary. We illustrate this through numerical computations in the case ...

Adaptive-scale damage detection strategy for plate structures based on wavelet finite element model

This study establishes an adaptive-scale damage detection strategy based on a wavelet finite element model (WFEM) for thin plate structures. Equations of motion and corresponding lifting schemes for thin plate structures are derived when the tensor products of cubic Hermite multi-wavelets are taken as the elemental interpolation functions. Sub-element damages are localized with the use of the c...

Finite element model based on refined plate theories for laminated glass units

Laminated glass units exhibit complex response as a result of different mechanical behavior and properties of glass and polymer foil. We aim to develop a finite element model for elastic laminated glass plates based on the refined plate theory by Mau. For a geometrically nonlinear description of the behavior of units, each layer behaves according to the ReissnerMindlin kinematics, complemented ...
