The shape functions of the transition plate elements are derived based on a practical rule. The transition plate elements are all quadrilateral and can be used to obtain efficient finite element models using minimum number of elements. The mesh convergence rates of the models including the transition elements are compared with the regular element models. To verify the developed elements, simple tests are demonstrated and various elasto-plastic problems are solved. Their results are compared with ANSYS results.展开更多

By using the transfer matrix method, we presented an analytical solution that satisfies all the arbitrary boundary conditions at boundary edges, as well as on upper and bottom surfaces. Our solution takes into account all the independent elastic and piezoelectric constants for a piezoelectric orthotropy, and satisfies continuity conditions between plies of the laminates. The principle of the present method and corresponding results can be widely used in many engineering fields and be applied to assess the effectiveness of various approximate and numerical models.展开更多

To bending problems of infinite annular plate with two different boundary conditions, based on the boundary integral formula,the natural boundary integral equation for the boundary value problems of the biharmonic equation and the condition of bending moment in infinity,bending solutions under non-symmetrical loads are gained by the Fourier series and convolution formulae. The formula for the solutions has nicer convergence velocity and high computational accuracy, and the calculating process is simpler. Solutions of the given examples are compared with the finite element method. The textual solutions of moments near the loads are better than the finite element method to the fact that near the concentrative loads the inners forces trend to infinite.展开更多

The trial functions are constructed using a series of the biharmonic polynomials, and the local error indicators are given by the residuals of the energy density on the boundary. In comparison with the conventional collocation methods, the solution accuracy in the present method can be improved in an economical and efficient way. In order to demonstrate the efficiency and advantages of the adaptive boundary collocation method proposed in this paper, two numerical examples are presented for circular plates subjected to uniform loads and restrained by mixed boundary conditions. The numerical results for the examples show good agreement with ones presented in the literature.展开更多

First, the partial differential equation, which is satisfied by the stress functions for the axisymmetric deformation problem is derived. Then, stress functions are obtained by proper manipulation. The analytical expressions of axial force, bending moment and displacements are then deduced through integration. And then, stress functions are employed to solve problems of transversely isotropic functionally graded circular plate, with the integral constants completely determined from boundary conditions. An elasticity solution for pure bending problem, which coincides with the available solution when degenerated into the elasticity solutions for homogenous circular plate, is thus obtained. A numerical example is finally presented to show the effect of material inhomogeneity on the elastic field in a simply supported circular plate of transversely isotropic functionally graded material (FGM).展开更多

By using such a method, we study the bending problem of a circular plate with arbitrary large deflection. As the deflection increases, the bending behavior usually exhibits a so-called plate-to-membrane transition. Capturing such a transition has ever frustrated researchers for decades. However, without introducing any addi- tional treatment, we show in this study that the proposed wavelet solutions can naturally cover the plate-membrane transition region as the plate deflection increases. In addition, the high accuracy and efficiency of the wavelet method in solving strongly nonlinear problems is numerically confirmed, and applicable scopes for the linear, the membrane and the yon Karman plate theories are identified with respect to the large deformation bending of circular plates.展开更多

It proves that the boundary integral equation derived from MRM is essentially identical to the conventional boundary integral equation. Hence the convergence analysis of MRM for plate bending problem can be obtained by the error estimation for the conventional boundary integral equation. In addition, this method can extend to the case of more series of the high_order fundamental solution sequences.展开更多

We talk over the two cases, that is, the plate acted on its center by a concentrated force and the plate subjected to by a concentrated force equally at four corner points respectively. We select a flexural function which satisfies not only all the geometric boundary conditions on free edges wholly but also the boundary conditions of the total internal forces. We apply the variational method meanwhile and then obtain better approximate solutions.展开更多
