A quadrilateral plate bending element based on deformation modes

A new multiresolution finite element method based on a multiresolution quadrilateral plate element

A new multiresolution quadrilateral plate element is proposed and a multiresolution finite element method is hence presented. The multiresolution analysis (MRA) framework is formulated out of a mutually nesting displacement subspace sequence, whose basis functions are constructed of scaling and shifting on the element domain of basic node shape function. The basic node shape function is constru...

An Efficient Finite Element Formulation Based on Deformation Approach for Bending of Functionally Graded Beams

Finite element formulations based generally on classical beam theories such as Euler-Bernoulli or Timoshenko. Sometimes, these two formulations could be problematic expressed in terms of restrictions of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, in case of thicker beams due to non-consideration of transverse shear; phenomenon that is known as shear locking characterized the Timoshenko beam theory, in case of...

Cloth Deformation Modelling Using a Plate Bending Model

Modelling and simulation of cloth deformation are of great importance in computer graphics and engineering applications. Although many models have been developed, problems still exist. No model so far can accurately describe both motion and deformation of cloth in a unified equation. And the equations for the in-plane deformation of cloth have yet to be developed. In this paper, a model for bot...

nonlinear bending analysis of thick functionally graded plates based on third-order shear deformation plate theory

in this paper the nonlinear bending analysis of thick functionally graded plates subjected to mechanical loading is studied. the formulation is derived based on the third-order shear deformation plate theory and von kármán type non-linearity. young’s modulus is assumed to vary according to a power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. the principle of virtual wo...
