چکیده

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 when t converges to 0. We use modern overlapping methods which use the Schur complements to define coarse basis functions and show that the condition number of this overlapping method is bounded by C(1 + H δ )(1 + log h ). Here H is the maximum diameter of the subdomains, δ the size of overlap between subdomains, and h the element size. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the theory. We also modify the overlapping method to develop a BDDC method for the Reissner-Mindlin model. We establish numerically an extension lemma to obtain a constant bound and an edge lemma to obtain a C(1+ log h ) bound. Given such bounds, the condition number of this BDDC method is shown to be bounded by C(1 + log h )

A Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints Deluxe Method for Numerically Thin Reissner-mindlin Plates Approximated with Falk-tu Finite Elements Tr2013-958

The Reissner-Mindlin plate models thin plates. The condition numbers of finite element approximations of these plate models increase very rapidly as the thickness of the plate goes to 0. A Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (BDDC) Deluxe method is developed for these plate problems discretized by Falk-Tu finite elements. In this new algorithm, subdomain Schur complements restricted t...

Robust BDDC Preconditioners for Reissner-Mindlin Plate Bending Problems and MITC Elements

A Balancing Domain Decomposition Method by Constraints (BDDC) is constructed and analyzed for the Reissner-Mindlin plate bending problem discretized with MITC finite elements. This BDDC algorithm is based on selecting the plate rotations and deflection degrees of freedom at the subdomain vertices as primal continuity constraints. After the implicit elimination of the interior degrees of freedom...

A Finite Volume Formulation for the Elasto-Plastic Analysis of Rectangular Mindlin-Reissner Plates, a Non-Layered Approach

This paper extends the previous work of authors and presents a non-layered Finite Volume formulation for the elasto-plastic analysis of Mindlin-Reissner plates. The incremental algorithm of the elasto-plastic solution procedure is shown in detail. The performance of the formulation is examined by analyzing of plates with different boundary conditions and loading types. The results are illustrat...
