A family of quadrilateral Mindlin plate elements with substitute shear strain fields
E. Hinton,H.C. Huang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that selectively integrated Mindlin plate elements may be viewed as fully integrated elements with substitute shear strain fields, and the defects of these elements are briefly reviewed and the 4-node element introduced by Bathe and Dvorkin is then generalised into a family of elements which is then studied.

Low-velocity impact-induced damage of continuous fiber-reinforced composite laminates. Part I. An FEM numerical model
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model for simulating the process of low-velocity impact damage in composite laminates using the finite element method is presented, and the impact process between a rigid ball and laminated plates is a stiff system, therefore a kind of A(α) stable method has been advocated here to solve the motion equation of the rigid ball.

Dynamic instability of composite laminates using a higher order theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a higher order shear deformation theory is used to investigate the instability associated with composite plates subject to dynamic loads, both transverse shear and rotary inertia effects are taken into account.

Reduced and selective integration techniques in the finite element analysis of plates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a thin plate theory in which transverse shear strains are accounted for, and the variables in the theory are all kinematic, namely, displacements and independent rotations.
