    Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

    Date: March 5, 2002 Due: March 19, 2002

    ASSIGNMENT No. 5 (Program No. 4)


    Nonlinear Plate Bending Using FSDT

    You are required to develop a geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis computer program
    based on Newton-Raphson iterative technique to analyze static bending of linear elastic plates
    using the first-order shear deformation plate theory (see Chapter 6 of the Lecture Notes). Use
    the following definitions of plate extensional (Aij ) and bending (Dij ) stiffnesses in terms of the
    engineering constants:

    E1 h
    A11 = , A12 = ν21 A11 , A22 = A11 (E2 /E1 ) , ν21 E1 = ν12 E2
    1 − ν12 ν21

    E1 h3
    D11 = , D12 = ν21 D11 , D22 = D11 (E2 /E1 )
    12(1 − ν12 ν21 )
    G12 h3
    A66 = G12 h, A44 = Ks G23 h, A55 = Ks G13 h, D66 = , Ks = 5/6
    12
    where Ks is the shear correction factor and h is the total thickness of the plate.
    Use a simply-supported square plate with a = 10 in., h = 1 in., E1 = 7.8×106 psi, E2 = 2.6×106
    psi, ν12 =0.25, G12 = G13 = G23 = 1.3 × 106 psi, and subjected to uniformly distributed transverse
    load (i.e., q = q0 =constant) to validate your program. Use 8 × 8 and 4 × 4 uniform meshes of linear
    and nine-node quadratic rectangular elements in a quadrant of the plate, respectively. Use load
    steps such that the load parameter P ≡ q0 a4 /E2 h4 is equal to 5, and use twelve load steps. Plot
    (a) load vs. center deflection (w0 /h versus P ), and (b) load vs. maximum stress (σxx and σxy ).
    Use a converegnce tolerance of ε = 10−2 and a reasonable value of IT M AX.
    You must submit: (1) a hard copy of the parts of the computer program that you have de-
    veloped, (2) input for the problems, and (3) plots/tables of the numerical results obtained for the
    problems.

    ANNOUNCEMENT
    Test 1 is scheduled for March 7th. You may pick up the test on Thursday (March 7th)
    and return by noon on March 8th. The test will require you to solve a given set of nonlinear
    problems using the progarms you have developed. You must also include all formulative steps.
