We consider the ยฎnite element (FE) approximation of the ReissnerยฑMindlin (RM) plate model, and indicate how to design meshes that yield accurate results when the p/hp version of the standard FE method is used. These guidelines allow quantities of engineering interest to be predicted numerically with

Based on the Helmholtz decomposition of the transverse shear strain, Brezzi and Fortin in [7] introduced a three-stage algorithm for approximating the Reissner-Mindlin plate model with clamped boundary conditions and established uniform error estimates in the plate thickness. The first and third sta
This paper presents a new 4-node รฟnite-element for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The element is based on a รฟrst-order shear deformation theory and is obtained through a mixed-enhanced approach. In fact, the adopted variational formulation includes as variables the transverse shear as w
We address here some computational aspects of the natural-mode ยฎnite element method (NM-FEM), a technique recently developed by the authors for the analysis of arbitrary composite shells. We consider in particular a model problem comprising a 45a ร 45a0a90 S cylindrical composite shell with 2398 deg
We present the integrated-by-parts version of the time discontinuous Galerkin least-squares ยฎnite element formulation for the solution of the unsteady compressible NavierยฑStokes equations for three dimensional problems involving moving boundaries and interfaces. The deformation of the spatial domain
This paper deals with the practical implementation of the statistical equivalent linearization method (EQL) in conjunction with general FE-analysis to evaluate non-linear structural response under random excitation. A computational procedure is presented which requires the non-linear part of the sys
