Analysis of beams and plates using shear lock free finite elements based on Timoshenko beam and Mindlin-Reissner plate theories
Sat, 2014-05-17 09:16 - psubbu2000
Simple finite elements based on Timoshenko beam and Mindlin plate theories have been developed for the analysis of thick and thin structures (beams and plates) using standard finite element procedure. These elements have 3 dof and a new concept, Convergence Factor, is introduced in the formuation to accelerate convergence keeping the number of elements constant. No shear correction factor is used and no shear lock problem is encountered.

Finite elements
The idea of development a new finite elements in order to analysis the strength of structures such as beam, plate is interssted .but in the case of presence crack in this structure , this new finite element will give accurate results ?
best regards
