The TDNNS method for Reissner-Mindlin plates. [PDF]
A new family of locking-free finite elements for shear deformable Reissner-Mindlin plates is presented. The elements are based on the "tangential-displacement normal-normal-stress" formulation of elasticity. In this formulation, the bending moments are treated as separate unknowns.

Imperfection-Enabled Strengthening of Ultra-Lightweight Lattice Materials. [PDF]
This study identifies different compressive failure modes of cubic lattices with different relative densities and proposes a novel imperfection‐enabled strengthening mechanism of ultra‐lightweight lattice materials. Geometric imperfections are proven to be advantageous in enhancing the stability and strength of lattice materials at ultra‐low relative ...

First-order VEM for Reissner–Mindlin plates [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper, a first-order virtual element method for Reissner–Mindlin plates is presented. A standard displacement-based variational formulation is employed, assuming transverse displacement and rotations as independent variables. In the framework of the first-order virtual element, a piecewise linear approximation is assumed for both ...

Mixed‐interpolated elements for Reissner–Mindlin plates [PDF]
AbstractWe present in this paper a procedure to establish Reissner–Mindlin plate bending elements. The procedure is based on the idea to combine known results on the approximation of Stokes problems with known results on the approximation of elliptic problems.

A nonlinear elasto-plastic analysis of Reissner-Mindlin plates by finite element method
In this paper, a finite element simulation of nonlinear elasto-plastic deformations of Reissner-Mindlin bending plates is described. The previously proposed four-node Q4g element with transverse energy of shearing for thick bending plates is extended to ...

A 4-node quadrilateral element with center-point based discrete shear gap (CP-DSG4)
This work aims at presenting a novel four-node quadrilateral element, which is enhanced by integrating with discrete shear gap (DSG), for analysis of Reissner-Mindlin plates. In contrast to previous studies that are mainly based on three-node triangular

High frequency modes meshfree analysis of Reissner–Mindlin plates
Finite element method (FEM) is well used for modeling plate structures. Meshfree methods, on the other hand, applied to the analysis of plate structures lag a little behind, but their great advantages and potential benefits of no meshing prompt continued
