| Abstract | In this study, simple and efficient triangular plate elements are developed by using assumed
strain method. The elements with three nodes and six nodes are derived based on the
Reissner-Mindlin thick plate theory. An appropriate shear strain interpolation is employed to avoid
shear locking phenomenon. The concept of desirable displacement field is introduced for locating
optimal strain sampling points. However, for six-node element, an additional sampling point is
determined experimentally. Comparison of the numerical results with the analytical solutions and
the other elements show that the presented elements are simple, and yet very robust and reliable. |
