A higher order triangular plate finite element using Airy functions
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.

A method is proposed for smoothing approximate fields of stress-resultants in patches of finite elements. The method is based on combining Trefftz fields of stress-resultants in a p-version so as to obtain a closest fit using the strain energy norm as a

Stress intensity factors computation for bending plates with extended finite element method [PDF]
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.

Abstract In order to obtain the dynamic characteristics of a ramming mechanism, the multi-rigid-body and rigid-flexible coupling dynamic models were established in Recurdyn. Considering the structural characteristics of the link, the deformation motion of the link is described by using the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory, and the dynamic ...
