Development of Membrane, Plate and Flat Shell Elements in Java
… triangular and quadrilateral membrane, plate and shell elements in Java using the object oriented programming technique is presented. The membrane elements developed are the constant strain triangle (CST) element and the four node isoparametric quadrilateral membrane element. The plate bending …

Development of the Velocity Transformation Function of Damped Flat Shell Finite Element for the Experimental Spatial Dynamics Modeling
… from its mid-plane. In this research, the damped flat shell element is developed to construct the numerical models of a cantilever beam and a simply supported flat plate. The velocity transformation function developed in this research will make possible to use the FE model, constructed by the …

Geometrically-Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of Linear Viscoelastic Composites Using the Finite Element Method
… method. In the present work, a triangular flat shell element for linear elastic composites is extended to model linear viscoelastic composites. Although polymers are usually modeled as being incompressible, here they are modeled as compressible. Furthermore, the macroscopic constitutive …

Development and Applications of a Flat Triangular Element for Thin Laminated Shells
Finite element analysis of laminated shells using a three-noded flat triangular shell element is presented. The flat shell element is obtained by combining the Discrete Kirchhoff Theory (DKT) plate bending element and a membrane element similar to the Allman element, but derived from the Linear …

Refined theories and Discontinuous Galerkin methods for the analysis of multilayered composite structures
… multilayered composite and sandwich plates and shells are widely used for military and civilian aircraft, aerospace vehicles, and naval and civil structures because of their high specific stiffness and strength and tailoring capabilities. Moreover, composite materials are increasingly adopted …
