چکیده
We consider a finite element approximation of the so-called Mindlin-Reissner formulation for moderately thick elastic plates. We show that stability and optimal error bounds hold independently of the value of the thickness.

A 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 کاملApproximation of the Buckling Problem for Reissner-Mindlin Plates
This paper deals with the approximation of the buckling coefficients and modes of a clamped plate modeled by the Reissner-Mindlin equations. These coefficients are related with the eigenvalues of a non-compact operator. We give a spectral characterization of this operator and show that the relevant buckling coefficients correspond to isolated nondefective eigenvalues. Then we consider the numer...
متن کاملA 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...
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 ...
