An isostatic assumed stress triangular element for the Reissner-Mindlin plate-bending problem

The paper describes a new assumed stress triangular element for Reissner–Mindlin plates, called TIP3, with three nodes and three degrees of freedom per node. The kinematics is constructed by means of the so‐called linked interpolation ruled by technically significant degrees of freedom (i.e. one tra...

Zusammenfassung:The paper describes a new assumed stress triangular element for Reissner–Mindlin plates, called TIP3, with three nodes and three degrees of freedom per node. The kinematics is constructed by means of the so‐called linked interpolation ruled by technically significant degrees of freedom (i.e. one transversal displacement and two rotations per node) without using additional bubble modes. The static representation starts from a moment–shear uncoupled polynomial approximation and is constrained to satisfy some equilibrium conditions in order to reduce the stress parameters to a minimum number. The resulting element is locking free, presents correct rank and passes the bending patch test even for very thin plates. The good performances of the element are demonstrated by several comparisons with other triangular plate elements available in the literature. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
