Plate Buckling Study, Irregular-Shaped Plate

Chang Liu

I am currently studying this paper On Solving the Irregularly-Shaped Plate Buckling Problem. "Traditional finite element theory assumes a set of displacement functions that are nodally based and minimizes the potential energy with respcct to the nodal coordinates." "The method of this pa...

Plate Buckling Study

Chang Liu

Remarks, Week 12/18/2020 Calculation speed increased 50% for calculating trial functions (Turns out more work need to be done for this part during the next two weeks). Automatically determine minimum polynomial order. Calculation speed increased >90% during calculation of residual...

Plate bending, Method of Weighted Residual (MWR), Debugging Trial Function Calculation Method & Free Boundary Condition

Chang Liu

Remarks Solving trial function calculation problem. Visually reasonable results achieved with reasonable / faster calculation time. (The problem is when changing symbolic expression to double numerical value, numbers are cut to 17 digits, which is not accurate enough and cause more trouble. The...

Plate bending, Method of Weighted Residual (MWR), Increasing Calculating Speed

Chang Liu

Remarks Calculation speed increased 50% for calculating trial functions. Automatically determine minimum polynomial order. Calculation speed increased >90% during calculation of residual integral. The way to do this is by implementing a new integration method. The new method and th...
