Topics: Formulation of structural elements

  • Formulation and calculation of isoparametric structural elements
  • Beam, plate, and shell elements
  • Formulation using Mindlin plate theory and unified general continuum formulation
  • Assumptions used including shear deformations
  • Demonstrative examples: two-dimensional beam, plate elements
  • Discussion of general variable-number-nodes elements
  • Transition elements between structural and continuum elements
  • Low- versus high-order elements
