The Transverse Shear Effect of a New Strain Based Sector Finite Elements for Plate Bending Problems

Abstract:

In this paper, we present the transverse shear effect on the plate bending. The element used is a sector finite element called SBSP (Strain Based Sector Plate-Kirchhoff Theory-), it used for the numerical analysis of circular thin plate bending., and it based on the strain approach. This element has four nodes and three degrees of freedom per node. Through the numerical applications with different loading cases and boundary conditions; This makes the present element robust, better suitable for computations.
