Abstract
A mixed finite element formulation based on the Mindlin–Reissner plate theory is developed for a moving orthotropic thin plate. The finite element interpolations are selected according to MITC (mixed interpolated tensorial components) plate bending elements, which have recently been proven to satisfy, numerically, the inf-sup condition. We show, with a few test cases, that the proposed formulation is reliable for both frequency and transient dynamics analyses, and that no shear locking is encountered.
