Mixed finite element formulation for folded plates
Nihal Eratli and A. Yalcin Akoz (Turkey)
Abstract
In this study, a new functional is obtained for folded plates with geometric (kinematic) and<br />dynamic (natural) boundary conditions. This functional is the combination of two different functionals.<br />Both functionals are obtained for thick plates which carry in-plane and lateral forces. A new mixed finite<br />element is developed with 4
Key Words
Reissner plate; folded plate; mixed-finite element.
