A Superconvergent Finite Element Scheme for the Reissner-mindlin Plate by Projection Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 L2 projections onto appropriately-chosen finite element spaces. A superconvergence result is established for the new finite element solutions by using the L2 projections. The superconvergence is based on some regularity assumption for the Reissner-Mindlin model and is applicable to any stable finite element methods with regular but non-uniform finite element

On Mixed Finite Element Methods for the Reissner-mindlin Plate Model
In this paper we analyze the convergence of mixed finite element approximations to the solution of the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem. We show that several known elements fall into our analysis, thus providing a unified approach. We also introduce a low-order triangular element which is optimalorder convergent uniformly in the plate thickness.
متن کاملAn Overlapping Domain Decomposition Method for the Reissner-mindlin Plate with the Falk-tu Elements
Abstract. The Reissner-Mindlin plate theory models a thin plate with thickness t. The condition numbers of finite element approximations of this model deteriorate badly as the thickness t of the plate converges to 0. In this paper, we develop an overlapping domain decomposition method for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model discretized by the Falk-Tu elements with the convergence rate which does n...
متن کاملDerivative Superconvergence of Rectangular Finite Elements for the Reissner-Mindlin Plate
The nite element method with rectangular meshes for the Reissner-Mindlin plate is analyzed. For a plate with thickness bounded below by a positive constant (moderately thick plate), derivative superconvergence of the nite element solution at the Gaussian points is justiied and optimal error estimates for both rotation and displacement are established.

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...
