A DPG method for Reissner-Mindlin plates
, 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.

Rib‐Reinforced Ultralight and Ultra‐Strong Shell Lattices
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.This study thoroughly reveals the relation between the curvature and stress direction of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thin shell lattices and proposes a novel rib reinforcement design strategy to incorporate ribs along the line of asymptotes (LOA) and the line of principal curvatures (LOC) to enhance the strength of ultralight TPMS shell ...

Numerical results for mimetic discretization of Reissner-Mindlin plate problems [PDF]
, 2012 A low-order mimetic finite difference (MFD) method for Reissner-Mindlin plate problems is considered. Together with the source problem, the free vibration and the buckling problems are investigated.

On the stability of hybrid equilibrium and Trefftz finite element models for plate bending problems
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2022 This paper is concerned with hybrid stress elements in the context of modelling the behaviour of plates subject to out of plane loading and based on Reissner-Mindlin assumptions.

International 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.

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

Three-dimensional flat shell-to-shell coupling: numerical challenges
Curved and Layered Structures, 2017 The node-to-surface formulation is widely used in contact simulations with finite elements because it is relatively easy to implement using different types of element discretizations.

Tension chord model for CFRP‐prestressed structural concrete
Structural 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 ...
