A New Strain Based Sector Finite Element for Plate Bending Problems

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to present the formulation of a new sector finite element based on the strain approach for the numerical analysis of circular thin plate bending. The element is named SBSPK and has four nodes and three degrees of freedom per node (3 d.o.f./node). From several numerical examples, it is shown that convergence can be achieved with the use of only a small number of finite elements. The results obtained are compared with analytical and available numerical solutions.
