Some elements commonly used for analysis are examined for completeness of polynomial interpolation and computational efficiency. Extensions to n-dimensional space are shown to be natural consequences of the interpolation, thus all elements considered here allow for finite element approximation in hi

This paper presents a method for the dynamic analysis of a thin, elastic, isotropic rectangular plate. The method is a hybrid of "nite element theory and classical thin plate theory. The displacement functions are derived from Sanders' thin-shell equations, and are expanded in power series. Expressi
An improvement to a previously described algorithm that systematically generates shape functions is presented. The new method produces explicit closed-form shape functions which may be programmed directly. The previous method evaluated the shape functions numerically at the Gauss points by means of
The objective of this work is to present a new method for the dynamic and static analysis of thin, elastic, isotropic, non-uniform circular and annular plates. The method is a combination of plate theory and finite element analysis. The plate is divided into one circular and many annular finite elem
