Why Learn Plate and Shell FEs?
! Beam, plate and shell FE are available in almost all finite element software
packages
! The intelligent use of this software and correct interpretation of output requires basic
understanding of the underlying theories
! FEM is able to solve problems on geometrically complicated domains
! Analytic methods introduced in the first part of the module are only suitable for computing plates
and shells with regular geometries, like disks, cylinders, spheres etc.
! Many shell structures consist of free form surfaces and/or have a complex topology
! Computational methods are the only tool for designing such shell structures
! FEM is able to solve problems involving large deformations, non-linear
material models and/or dynamics
! FEM is very cost effective and fast compared to experimentation

Roadmap for the Derivation of FEM
! As introduced in 3D7, there are two distinct ingredients that are combined
to arrive at the discrete system of FE equations
! The weak form
! A mesh and the corresponding shape functions
! In the derivation of the weak form for beams, plates and shells the
following approach will be pursued
1) Assume how a beam, plate or shell deforms across its thickness
2) Introduce the assumed deformations into the weak form of three-dimensional elasticity
3) Integrate the resulting three-dimensional elasticity equations along the thickness direction
analytically
Page 13
Elasticity Theory -1-
! Consider a body in its undeformed (reference) configuration
! The body deforms due to loading and the material points move by a displacement
! Kinematic equations; defined based on displacements of an infinitesimalvolume element)
! Axial strains

Elasticity Theory -2-
! Shear components
! Stresses
! Normal stress components
! Shear stress component
! Shear stresses are symmetric
Page 15
Elasticity Theory -3-
! Equilibrium equations (determined from equilibrium of an infinitesimal
volume element)
! Equilibrium in x-direction
! Equilibrium in y-direction
! Equilibrium in z-direction
! are the components of the external loading vector (e.g., gravity)
Page 16
Elasticity Theory -4-
! Hooke’s law (linear elastic material equations)
! With the material constants Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio
Page 17
Index Notation -1-
! The notation used on the previous slides is rather clumsy and leads to very
long expressions
! Matrices and vectors can also be expressed in index notation, e.g.
! Summation convention: a repeated index implies summation over 1,2,3, e.g.
! A comma denotes differentiation
Page 18
Index Notation -2-
! Kronecker delta
! Examples:
Page 19
Elasticity Theory in Index Notation -1-
! Kinematic equations
! Note that these are six equations
! Equilibrium equations
! Note that these are three equations
! Linear elastic material equations
! Inverse relationship
! Instead of the Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio the Lame constants can be used
Page 20
Weak Form of Equilibrium Equations -1-
! The equilibrium, kinematic and material equations can be combined into
three coupled second order partial differential equations
! Next the equilibrium equations in weak form are considered in preparation
for finite elements
! In structural analysis the weak form is also known as the principle of virtual displacements
! To simplify the derivations we assume that the boundaries of the domain are fixed (built-in, zero
displacements)
! The weak form is constructed by multiplying the equilibrium equations with test functions vi which
are zero at fixed boundaries but otherwise arbitrary
Page 21
Weak Form of Equilibrium Equations -1-
! Further make use of integration by parts
! Aside: divergence theorem
! Consider a vector field and its divergence
! The divergence theorem states
! Using the divergence theorem equation (1) reduces to
! which leads to the principle of virtual displacements
Page 22
Weak Form of Equilibrium Equations -2-
! The integral on the left hand side is the internal virtual work performed by the internal stresses due to virtual
displacements
! The integral on the right hand side is the external virtual work performed by the external forces due to virtual
displacements
! Note that the material equations have not been used in the preceding derivation.
Hence, the principle of virtual work is independent of material (valid for elastic, plastic,
…)
! The internal virtual work can also be written with virtual strains so that the principle of
virtual work reads
! Try to prove
