Mixed piezoelectric plate elements with continuous transverse electric displacements

Mixed Rectangular Finite Elements for Plate Bending

The paper describes three different rectangular plate bending elements based on Reissner's type stationary variational principles. They differ in the number of dependent variables approximated independently and also in the number of nodes per element. The first element types treats the transverse deflection and the three moments as unknowns at each of the corner nodes; the second element type t...

Design Requirements for Plate Girders with Bolted Transverse Stiffeners

The web of plate girders in bridges are usually reinforced by welded transverse stiffeners in order to improve their shear capacity.Due to problems associated with field welding and fatigue, welded stiffeners are not suitable for retrofitting existing bridges. Bolted stiffeners are a practical alternative for strengthening girders that are expected to experience shear stress in excess of their ...

A Piezoelectric Anisotropic Plate Model

We mathematically justify a reduced piezoelectric plate model. This is achieved considering the three-dimensional static equations of piezoelectricity, for a nonhomogeneous anisotropic thin plate, and using the asymptotic analysis to compute the limit of the displacement vector and electric potential, as the thickness of the plate approaches zero. We prove that the three-dimensional displacemen...
