✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a method for a quick evaluation of stresses and displacements in a plate structure for elastostatic problems. First, an approximation is built from the mathematical structure of the solutions for starshaped domains, which is representative of long wavelength effects. Second, a variational formulation consistent with this approximation is proposed. Finally, two alternative procedures for coupling adjacent domains are demonstrated.
