نویسندگان
چکیده
Stabilized finite element formulation for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model is considered. Physical interpretation for the stabilization procedure for low order elements is established. Explicit interpolation functions for linear and bilinear stabilized MITC elements are derived. Some numerical examples including buckling and frequency analyses are presented.

Multigrid Methods for a Stabilized Reissner-Mindlin Plate Formulation
We consider a stabilized finite element formulation for the Reissner-Mindlin plate bending model. The method uses standard bases functions for the deflection and the rotation vector. We apply a standard multigrid algorithm to obtain a preconditioner. We prove that the condition number of the preconditioned system is uniformly bounded with respect to the multigrid level and the thickness paramet...
متن کاملOn Mixed Finite Element Methods for the Reissner-mindlin Plate Model
In this paper we analyze the convergence of mixed finite element approximations to the solution of the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem. We show that several known elements fall into our analysis, thus providing a unified approach. We also introduce a low-order triangular element which is optimalorder convergent uniformly in the plate thickness.
متن کاملA Superconvergent Finite Element Scheme for the Reissner-mindlin Plate by Projection Methods
The Reissner-Mindlin model is frequently used by engineers for plates and shells of small to moderate thickness. This model is well known for its “locking” phenomenon so that many numerical approximations behave poorly when the thickness parameter tends to zero. Following the formulation derived by Brezzi and Fortin, we construct a new finite element scheme for the Reissner-Mindlin model using ...
متن کاملAn Overlapping Domain Decomposition Method for the Reissner-mindlin Plate with the Falk-tu Elements
Abstract. The Reissner-Mindlin plate theory models a thin plate with thickness t. The condition numbers of finite element approximations of this model deteriorate badly as the thickness t of the plate converges to 0. In this paper, we develop an overlapping domain decomposition method for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model discretized by the Falk-Tu elements with the convergence rate which does n...
متن کاملDomain Decomposition Methods for Reissner-Mindlin Plates discretized with the Falk-Tu Elements
The Reissner-Mindlin plate theory models a thin plate with thickness t. The condition number of finite element approximations of this model deteriorates badly as the thickness t of the plate converges to 0. In this thesis, we develop an overlapping domain decomposition method for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model discretized by Falk-Tu elements with a convergence rate which does not deteriorate ...
