C1 plate and shell finite elements for geometrically nonlinear analysis of multilayered structures

Robust C0 high‐order plate finite element for thin to very thick structures: mechanical and thermo‐mechanical analysis

“…The present work could be a good starting point for the development of hierarchic approaches, as it has been performed for multilayered beam structures , and for plates and shells in . Therefore, future works are pointed towards a full evaluation of multilayered and sandwich plates and on the development of the associated shell FE.…”

Nonlinear Mechanics of Thin-Walled Structures

“…Among few (and not very general) examples of using conforming triangular finite elements in the open literature we mention Argyris and Mlejnek [8], Bernadou [21]. Dau et al [41] treated multilayered plates with the account of geometrically nonlinear effects, but the Argyristype interpolation was used only for the transverse component of the displacement. An application to modeling general nonlinear deformations of plates with C 1 continuous approximation of all components of the position vector has been reported by Ivannikov et al [81].…”

A method for the orthotropic coating-substrate system: Green׳s function for a normal line force on the surface

“…The finite element method (FEM) [8,9] is the first method which is often used in engineering. However, because of the small thickness of the coating layer and the discontinuous stress components on the interface, it is hard to obtain the accurate solutions by the FEM, especially for those near the interface [10,11].…”
