The Earthquake Engineering Online ArchiveResultant Fields for Mixed Plate Bending ElementsWeissman, Shmuel L.; Taylor, Robert L. UCB/SEMM-1989/13, Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1989-05, 42 pages The Hellinger-Reissner variational principle is used to formulate plate bending elements based upon Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. The elements are shown to perform well on a set of standard problems for thin and thick plates. Available online: http://nisee.berkeley.edu/documents/SEMM/SEMM-89-13.pdf (18 MB) |
