Some New Elements for the Reissner–Mindlin Plate Model
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work-in-progress we report on a new approach to obtaining stable locking-free discretizations of the Reissner–Mindlin plate model. For a plate of thickness t with midplane section Ω ⊂ R the clamped Reissner–Mindlin plate model determines ω , the transverse displacement of the midplane, and φ , the rotation of fibers normal to the midplane, as the unique minimizer over H̊1(Ω)× H̊(Ω) of the energy functional:

On stabilized finite element methods for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model
Stabilized finite element formulation for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model is considered. Physical interpretation for the stabilization procedure for low order elements is established. Explicit interpolation functions for linear and bilinear stabilized MITC elements are derived. Some numerical examples including buckling and frequency analyses are presented.

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 کاملAnalysis of some low order quadrilateral Reissner-Mindlin plate elements
Four quadrilateral elements for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model are considered. The elements are the stabilized MITC4 element of Lyly, Stenberg and Vihinen [27], the MIN4 element of Tessler and Hughes [35], the Q4BL element of Zienkiewicz et al [39] and the FMIN4 element of Kikuchi and Ishii [21]. For all elements except the Q4BL element, a unifying variational formulation is introduced, and o...
متن کاملOn 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 کاملA Superconvergent Finite Element Scheme for the Reissner-mindlin Plate by Projection Methods
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 ...
