Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Electronic Computation

Abstract:

Two improvements to the conventional Mindlin two-node beam and three-node plate are presented. The first involves the order of the assumed displacement fields. The second involves simulation of a higher order deformation mode. The elements developed are quite efficient.
