Polyharmonic Multiquadric Particular Solutions for Reissner/Mindlin Plate [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, 2015
Analytical particular solutions of the polyharmonic multiquadrics are derived for both the Reissner and Mindlin thick-plate models in a unified formulation. In the derivation, the three coupled second-order partial differential equations are converted into a product operator of biharmonic and Helmholtz operators using the Hörmander operator ...

A DPG method for Reissner-Mindlin plates

open access: yes, 2022
We present a discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method with optimal test functions for the Reissner-Mindlin plate bending model. Our method is based on a variational formulation that utilizes a Helmholtz decomposition of the shear force. It produces approximations of the primitive variables and the bending moments.

A higher order triangular plate finite element using Airy functions

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
The present paper describes the formulation of a new moderately thick plate bending triangular finite element based on Mindlin–Reissner plate theory. It is called a Great Triangular Moderately Thick Plate Finite Element, or GTMTPFE.

Laminated Beam Analysis by Polynomial, rigonometric, Exponential and Zig-Zag Theories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A number of refined beam theories are discussed in this paper. These theories were obtained by expanding the unknown displacement variables over the beam section axes by adopting Taylor's polynomials, trigonometric series, exponential, hyperbolic and zig ...

A Localized Version of the Dual‐Primal Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting Method for the Partitioned Analysis of Heterogeneous Structural Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 2, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT FETI‐DP is a mature domain decomposition algorithm that has been successfully applied to different problems, demonstrating impressive performance. To be effective, the algorithm needs to be equipped with different technicalities that somewhat complicate its implementation.

A numerical approach for modelling thin cracked plates with XFEM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The modelization of bending plates with through the thickness cracks is investigated. We consider the Kirchhoff-Love plate model which is valid for very thin plates.

Higher‐Order, Mixed‐Hybrid Finite Elements for Kirchhoff–Love Shells

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 21, 15 November 2025.
ABSTRACT A novel mixed‐hybrid method for Kirchhoff–Love shells is proposed that enables the use of classical, possibly higher‐order Lagrange elements in numerical analyses. In contrast to purely displacement‐based formulations that require higher continuity of shape functions as in isogeometric analysis (IGA), the mixed formulation features ...

Tension chord model for CFRP‐prestressed structural concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 6576-6593, October 2025.
Abstract This paper introduces a mechanical model for steel‐reinforced concrete prestressed with bonded CFRP rods and presents the findings of an experimental campaign conducted to validate the model. The study is part of a project aiming at developing a railway bridge system in Switzerland that utilizes stainless steel reinforcing bars combined with ...
