| Abstract | In this study, a method for the derivation of plate element stiffness matrices based on the principle of minimum complementary energy using
assumed stress distributions is described. The method was developed originally by PIAN (1964) in dealing with problems of plane stress and then
extended by SEVERN and TAYLOR (1966) to problems concerning plate bending.
Examples of square plates in bending are investigated. Emphasis is placed on solving a series of clamped square plates of various mesh sizes subjected to uniform loading. An idea of the accuracy of each mesh size
is obtained by comparison with a known analytical series solution. The finite element solution shows an improvement in structural analysis when the element stiffness matrices satisfy both internal equilibrium and displacement compatibility with adjacent elements. Results are compared with those of another approach in which a displacement function is employed. |
