Finite Elements for Reissner-Mindlin plate bending problems
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the plate bending problem in the framework of the Reissner-Mindlin theory. For a clamped plate, the problem can be written in variational form as follows. Find (θ, w) ∈ (H 0 (Ω)) ×H 0 (Ω) : ∫ Ω Cε(θ) : ε(η) + μ t−2 ∫ Ω (∇w − θ) · (∇v − η) = ∫

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...
متن کاملMESH GENERATION FOR hp TYPE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF REISSNER-MINDLIN PLATES
Efficient finite element (FE) analyses of Reissner-Mindlin (RM) plate bending problems require a combination of high-order polynomial trial functions (p-extension) and locally refined meshes, or, in short, an hp-extension of the FE method. In the optimal case, exponential rates in the convergence of the error in energy norm can be obtained by such a discretization. This contribution discusses s...
متن کاملThe TDNNS method for Reissner–Mindlin plates
A new family of locking-free finite elements for shear deformable Reissner-Mindlin plates is presented. The elements are based on the "tangential-displacement normal-normal-stress" formulation of elasticity. In this formulation, the bending moments are treated as separate unknowns. The degrees of freedom for the plate element are the nodal values of the deflection, tangential components of the ...
متن کاملResearch of combined hybrid method applied in the Reissner-Mindlin plate model
This paper has introduced two kinds of combined hybrid variational formulations for plate bending finite elements based upon the Reissner–Mindlin theory, according to whether assumed constant moment stress is introduced when assumed constant shear stress has been introduced. Due to two options for incompatible displacement modes, four new types of combined hybrid elements are proposed. A set of...
متن کاملEffects of finite element formulation on optimal plate and shell structural topologies
The effects of selected membrane, plate and flat shell finite element formulations on optimal topologies are numerically investigated. Two different membrane components are considered. The first is a standard 4-node bilinear quadrilateral, and the other is a 4-node element accounting for in-plane (drilling) rotations. Plate elements selected for evaluation include discrete Kirchhoff quadrilater...
