Geometric non-linear analysis of composite laminated plates using higher order finite strip element [PDF]
, 2012 A finite strip method for geometric non-linear static analysis based on the tangential stiffness matrix has been developed using the new concept of polynomial finite strip elements, with Reissner (higher order shear deformable element) plate-bending ...
