Abstract

A six-node triangular C⁰ plate element is developed using the assumed strain method. A weak form of the Kirchhoff constraints is used to define the assumed shear strain field. The element so developed is free of shear locking and performs well even when the element boundaries are curved. It is demonstrated that the element provides satisfactory results in the analysis of various composite plates.
