There are no restrictions on displacements- no edge forces. One is tempted to say that along x=a Qx=0, Mxx=0 and Myy=0

This is wrong because only two independent conditions are allowed. According to kirchhoff, should use only two, i.e. Mxx=0 and Txx=0 (effective shear force) where, 0=

i.e. complete cubic plus two terms (x3y and xy3) polynomial of above equation satisfies the homogeneous plate equation D∇4w=0, this fact is of little significance in the finite element formulation. Rigid Body Modes W=constant (translation) and also need two rotations. Three rigid body modes required are included through a1+a2x+a3y in the polynomial of above equation. Constant Strain In plate bending, the strains are curvatures and twist i.e. wxx, wyy and wxy. This is provided by the second degree terms i.e. a4x2+a5xy+a6y2 which are also included. Continuity The polynomial in above equation has been chosen carefully and for a very good reason we included x3y and xy3 terms instead of x4 and y4. For constant y, w(x,y) is cubic in x and vice-versa. Now a cubic polynomial in one dimension contains four independent parameters or coefficient which may be specified uniquely by two conditions at each end point (i.e. the end

nodes. This particular feature leads to ensuring displacement continuity between adjacent elements. We will look into it in more detail later. Generalized Displacement The element formulation begins by first solving for generalized displacements from displacement function. This yields the following matrix equation;

Joining two elements along edges parallel to x

For element A, the displacement along edge 3-4 is obtained by putting η=1 in equation 1.

It may be seen that the same function of ξ occur in these two equations. Therefore, if w1, wx1, w2, wx2 of element B are equated to w4, wx4, w3, wx3, respectively of element A, w will have to be continuous between the elements. Similar arguments are easily made for edges parallel to the y-axis. What about slopes normal to the edges? There is no continuity of slopes normal to the element edges. This can be shown by taking derivatives of w with respect to η and substituting η=1 for element It will be found that

2.1.1- Stiffness Matrix Calculate the stiffness matrix for the non-conforming plate bending element by substituting equation 1 into expression for strain energy. After, carrying out integration over the area of the element, we obtain the quadratic form in term of generalized displacements (as expected) for strain energy:

WKWU e = Here, [K] is the 12 by 12 stiffness matrix for the element and is given in the following page.

1 T

Note, this matrix has been derived for W as given in equation of δ3=w1/a, δ6=w2/a, δ9=w3/a and δ12=w4/a i.e. in dimensionless displacements. To allow w's to take on dimensionless displacements, the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th row should be multiplied by a again. Further, if the degrees of freedom are desired to be arranged as:

Then the rows and columns should be rearranged accordingly, e. st

nd rd rdg. 1 and

2 rows should be moved into second and 3 rows. And 3 row should be placed into 1st row, etc, etc., etc.

2.1.2- Consistent Load Vector Assume uniform pressure q0. Recall from equation of potential energy π, the work done W is given by:

where Ae is the element area, and w is given by equation 1, when equation 1 is substituted into above equation and integrating, the load vector for the element in dimensional form:

When nonconforming elements are used to obtain an approximate solution for some loading, generally we use reasonably large number of elements and can obtain reasonable answer by using lumped load i.e. q0ab/4 at each corner node. However, for very refined elements, we must use consistent

ad vector since much fewer elements are used. In such cases, we may be introducing an undesirable error through lumped loads. 2.1.3- Stresses Bending and twisting moments Define:

nrequiring continuity of the field variable as well as its normal derivative φn along element boundaries is far more difficult than constructing elements for Co continuity alone. To preserve C1 continuity, we must be sure that φ and φn are uniquely specified along the element boundaries by the degrees of freedom assigned to the nodes along a particular boundary. The

ifficulties arise from the following principles: d1. The interpolation functions must contain at least some cubic terms

because the three nodal values φ, φx, and φy must be specified at each corner of the element.

2. For non-rectangular elements, C

It is sometimes very convenient to specify only φ, φx and φy at corners, but when this is done, it is impossible to have continuous second derivatives at the corner nodes. In ge er l, the crdependent and hence, nonunique at intersections of the sides of the element. Analysts first began to encounter difficulties in formulating elements for C1

roblems when they attempproblems. For such problems, the displacement of the mid plane of the plate for Kirchhoff plate bending theory is the field variable in each element, and interelement continuity of the displacement and its slope is a desirable physical requirement. Also, since the functional for plate bending involves second order derivatives, continuity of slope at element interface is a mathematical requirement because it ensures convergence as element size is reduced. For these reasons, analysts have labored to find elements giving continuity of slope and value. Rectangular Elements Whereas triangulars are the simplest element shapes to establish C0 continuity in two dimensions, rectangles with sides parallel to the global axes are the simplest element shapes of C1 continuity in 2 dimensions. The reason is that the element boundaries meet at right angles, and imposing continuity of the cross derivatives φxy at the corners quarantees continuity of the derivatives that otherwise might be nonunique. A four-node rectangle with φ, φ , φ and φ specified at the corner nodes assigns a 16-dof elem 17

quintic polynomial to represent the field variable φ. When φ and all first and second derivatives are specified at the corner nodes. There are only 18 dof, so 3 more are needed to specify the 21-term quintic polynomial.The 3 dof are obtained by specifying the normal derivatives φn at the midside nodes. This element quarantees continuity of φ along element boundaries because, along a boundary where s is the linear coordinate, φ varies in s as aquintic function, which is uniquely determ

more dependent on the completeness than on the compatibility property of the element. The following table shows a sample of incompatible elements. Any of these elements can be used in the solution of continuum problems involving functionals containing up to second-order derivatives. The analysts may ask, which element should I use to sole my problem? Unfortunately, no general answer can be given because the answer is problem dependent.

- we need an element of more general shape - Triangular elements fit curved edges more appropriately than the

rectangular elements - Again consider local coordinates ξ and η. We shall use

transformation matrix to go back to x-y system. - Consider w, wξ, wη as the dof at each node. - A cubic has 10 generalized parameters:

- for the element we have 9 dof but 10 generalized parameters in above equation. Therefore, must delete one of ai (i=1,2,…,10) or add a dof.

Possibilities:

a) use w at centroid as an extra dof -this element doesnot work sometimes and also exhibit poor convergence -Certain orientations may lead to less than a cubic along one of the edges and violates w continuity requirement

b) Throwaway one term- say a5=0 This violates constant curvature or constant strain energy requirement i.e. will not work since wξη=constant not present

c) combine two terms, i.e. equate a =a9 -we get a8(ξ2η + ξη2) which keeps some symmetry. -in general, ruins isotrophy of the polynomial so we expect orientation problems.

from above two equations, we note w and wy depends on nodal dof at nodes

r edge 1-2. Similarly, we can show that we get the same expressions for w and wy along edge 3-4 except w4 replaces w1, w3 replaces w2, etc. Therefore, equating the nodal variables along edge 1-2 of element A in the figure to nodal variables along edge 3-4 of element B will ensure continuity of w and wy as requitred. In exactly the same manner we can show continuity of w and wx along edges parallel to y axis.

Option Two Equation4 (a-f) for corner nodes still apply. These yields 18 eqns and therefore three more equations are still to be accounted for. Note that for a

uintic polynomial, the normal slope along all three edges vary as quartic omial).

Consider only the 5 degree term in equation 3 and denote this partial w(x,y) as wp i.e.:

q(4th degree polyn"additional three equations arise from constraining the normal slope to vary cubically along each edge."
