Closed form solutions for element matrices of 4-node rectangular plate element using IFM
This paper presents closed form solutions for equilibrium and flexibility matrices of the Mindlin- Reissner theory based 4-node rectangular plate bending element using Integrated Force Method (IFM). Use of closed form solutions of equilibrium and flexibility matrices reduce the computational time s...
