A new locking-free polygonal plate element for thin and thick plates based on Reissner-Mindlin plate theory and assumed shear strain fields
Javier Videla, Sundararajan Natarajan, Stephane PA Bordas
A new noded polygonal plate element is proposed for the analysis of plate structures comprising of thin and thick members. The formulation is based on the discrete Kirchhoff M…
Size effects in elastic-plastic functionally graded materials
Tittu V. Mathew, Sundararajan Natarajan, Emilio Martínez-Pañeda
We develop a strain gradient plasticity formulation for composite materials with spatially varying volume fractions to characterize size effects in functionally graded materials (F…
A volume-averaged nodal projection method for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model
Alejandro Ortiz-Bernardin, Philip Köbrich, Jack S. Hale +3
We introduce a novel meshfree Galerkin method for the solution of Reissner-Mindlin plate problems that is written in terms of the primitive variables only (i.e., rotations and tran…
