In this paper, a six-node triangular C 0 plate bending element is developed by the assumed natural strain method. In the element, all the sampled natural transverse shear strains are chosen such that the latter has a favourable constraint index and the strains are optimized with respect to a linear

β¦ Synopsis
A refined triangular discrete Kirchhoff thin plate bending element RDKT which can be used to improve the original triangular discrete Kirchhoff thin plate bending element DKT is presented. In order to improve the accuracy of the analysis a simple explicit expression of a refined constant strain matrix with an adjustable constant can be introduced into its formulation. The new element displacement function can be used to formulate a mass matrix called combined mass matrix for calculation of the natural frequency and in the same way a combined geometric stiffness matrix can be obtained for buckling analysis. Numerical examples are presented to show that the present methods indeed, can improve the accuracy of thin plate bending, vibration and buckling analysis.

First, the shear-locking phenomenon in the w B k SRRM 1-3 is investigated and the shear-locking terms are identiΓΏed in both one-dimensional beam and two-dimensional plate analyses. Subsequently the shear-locking free conditions are proposed and under the guidance of these conditions the Timoshenko b
