Non-conforming Plate Bending Element with Variable-nodes

변절점을 가진 비적합 평판휨 요소

The present work is concerned with the development of new variable-node Mindlin plate bending elements. The proposed variable-node elements pass the patch tests, do not show spurious zero-energy modes, and do not produce shear locking phenomena. It is also shown that the elements produce reliable solutions through numerical tests for standard benchmark problems.
