โฆ Synopsis
A boundary element formulation for a Reissner plate on a Pasternak foundation is presented in this paper. The complete expressions for internal point kernels are given for the ยฎrst time. Quadratic isoparametric boundary elements are used to discretise the plate boundary. An ecient arrangement of the boundary element system matrices is discussed. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and the validity of the present formulation.

We investigate a new rectangular element for the Reissner-Mindlin model based on the primitive variable system. Nonconforming rotated Q1 element is used to approximate the transverse displacement, and the biquadratic element is used for the rotation. A convergent error estimate is obtained, which is
In this paper the application of the boundary element method to thick plates resting on a Winkler foundation is presented. The Reissner plate bending theory is used to model the plate behaviour. The Winkler foundation model is represented by continuous springs which are directly incorporated into th
