Abstract

Two novel plate-bending elements are developed and investigated in this study. Elements with 13 and 15 degree-of-freedoms are named AT13 and AT15, respectively. These triangular elements are formulated in a semi-analytic way. For this aim, the basic elasticity function is employed with unknown parameters. Subsequently, the trial-and-error procedure is used to determine the unidentified constants. Besides, the achieved results are compared with those obtained by displacement-based triangular elements with the same degrees-of-freedom (TUBA13 and TUBA15). In this research, both stress and displacement responses of diverse structures are assessed. After performing extensive numerical studies, the findings clearly demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed elements.
