Mixed finite element formulation for folded plates

Nihal Eratli , A. Yalcin Akoz (Turkey)

Abstract

In this study, a new functional is obtained for folded plates with geometric (kinematic) anddynamic (natural) boundary conditions. This functional is the combination of two different functionals.Both functionals are obtained for thick plates which carry in-plane and lateral forces. A new mixed finiteelement is developed with 4

Key Words

Reissner plate; folded plate; mixed-finite element.
