Assessing The Dead Loads Effect on the Dynamic Behavior of Plates by Using Finite Elements Method

In this research, a rectangular plate element for the finite elementsmethod, which takes into consideration the effect of dead loads, is proposed.The element stiffness matrix that includes the effect of dead loads is derived. Itis shown that the stiffness of plate increases when the effect of dead l...
