Asymptotic Analysis of the Boundary Layer for the Reissner–mindlin Plate Model∗

چکیده
We investigate the structure of the solution of the Reissner–Mindlin plate equations in its dependence on the plate thickness in the cases of soft and hard clamped, soft and hard simply supported, and traction free boundary conditions. For the transverse displacement, rotation, and shear stress, we develop asymptotic expansions in powers of the plate thickness. These expansions are uniform up to the boundary for the transverse displacement, but for the other variables there is a boundary layer, which is stronger for the soft simply supported and traction-free plate and weaker for the soft clamped plate than for the hard clamped and hard simply supported plate. We give rigorous error bounds for the errors in the expansions in Sobolev norms. As an application, we derive new regularity results for the solutions and new estimates for the difference between the Reissner–Mindlin solution and the solution to the corresponding biharmonic model.

The Boundary Layer for the Reissner–mindlin Plate Model*
The structure of the solution of the Reissner–Mindlin plate equations is investigated, emphasizing its dependence on the plate thickness.

متن کاملLocking Effects in the Finite Element Approximation of Plate Models
We analyze the robustness of various standard finite element schemes for a hierarchy of plate models and obtain asymptotic convergence estimates that are uniform in terms of the thickness d . We identify h version schemes that show locking, i.e., for which the asymptotic convergence rate deteriorates as ¿->0, and also show that the p version is free of locking. In order to isolate locking effec...
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 کاملFinite 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 ...
متن کاملOn the Accuracy of Reissner–mindlin Plate Model for Stress Boundary Conditions
For a plate subject to stress boundary condition, the deformation determined by the Reissner–Mindlin plate bending model could be bending dominated, transverse shear dominated, or neither (intermediate), depending on the load. We show that the Reissner–Mindlin model has a wider range of applicability than the Kirchhoff–Love model, but it does not always converge to the elasticity theory. In the...
