Wilson's element for the Reissner-Mindlin plate
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for the Reissner-Mindlin plate has been proposed. The nonconform-ing Wilson element is used for transverse displacement, rotation is approximated by the usual bilinear element, and an orthogonal projection is applied to the shear stress term. The uniform convergence with respect to the plate thickness is established. Numerical results are provided. The new method is simple in implementation.

On 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 کاملDerivative Superconvergence of Rectangular Finite Elements for the Reissner-Mindlin Plate
The nite element method with rectangular meshes for the Reissner-Mindlin plate is analyzed. For a plate with thickness bounded below by a positive constant (moderately thick plate), derivative superconvergence of the nite element solution at the Gaussian points is justiied and optimal error estimates for both rotation and displacement are established.
متن کاملOn the Convergence of Weissman-taylor Element for Reissner-mindlin Plate
In this paper, we study the Weissman-Taylor rectangular element for the Reissner-Mindlin plate [12] model and provide a convergence analysis for the transverse displacement and the rotation. We show that the element is stable and locking free, thereby improve the results of [8] and [9].
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 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 ...
