Analytical Formulation of Hybrid-Trefftz Thick Plate Elements

چکیده
This paper discusses a domain-based formulation for hybrid-Trefftz thick plate elements. The formulation can be applied to triangular and quadrilateral elements, and enables an analytical formulation of these elements to be used. Techniques for improving the computational efficiency are explored, and a simple and accurate triangular element is formulated in this manner.

Bending Solution for Simply Supported Annular Plates Using the Indirect Trefftz Boundary Method
This paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect Trefftz boundary approach. The formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the Kirchhoff plate theory and the Reissner plate theory. The governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. The Trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...
متن کاملGeometrically Nonlinear Analysis of Plate Bending Problems
In the previous six chapters, we have discussed the application of T-elements to various linear problems. This approach can also be used to solve both geometrically [8-10,12] and materially [1,18] nonlinear problems. The former are treated in this chapter and the latter are addressed in Chapter 8. The first application of T-elements to nonlinear plate bending problems was by Qin [8], who presen...
متن کاملOn the systematic construction of trial functions for hybrid Trefftz shell elements
In this paper the possibility of applying the Trefftz-method to thick and thin shells is discussed. A mixed variational formulation is used in which the assumed strain and stress functions are derived from the three-dimensional solution representation for the displacement field. For the construction of the linearly independent Trefftz trial functions both the Neuber/Papkovich solution represent...
متن کاملSolution representations for Trefftz-type finite elements
Solution representations are available for severeal differential equations. For elasticity problems some of the solution representations are considered in this paper. The solution representations can be used for a systematic construction of Trefftz functions for the derivation of Trefftz-type finite elements. For the example of a thick plate a set of Trefftz functions is presented.
متن کاملQuadrilateral folded plate structure elements of reduced Trefftz type
General strategy for developing finite elements of general geometric shape explained on quadrilateral folded plate structure element ensuring invariance properties is presented in this paper. The basic idea of this strategy consists in using the natural coordinate system only for defining the element geometry and performing the element integration in a mapped biunit square. For defining the app...
