FINITE ELEMENTS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF REISSNE-RMINDLIN PLATES WITH JOINT INTERPOLATION OF DISPLACEMENTS AND ROTATIONS (JIDR)

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for creating finite elements with simultaneous approximation of functions corresponding to displacements and rotations. New triangular and quadrangular finite elements have been created, which can have additional nodes on the sides. No locking effect is observed for all the created elements. All created elements retain the existing symmetry of the design models. The results of numerical experiments are presented.
