Notes:
The finite element method is applied to stability and large deflection analysis of plates and shallow shells. Based on the von Karman strain expressions for plates and the Marguerre shallow shell theory, equilibrium and incremental equations for a non-linear analysis by finite elements is developed. Great emphasis is placed on the specific matrix formulation, thereby obtaining a highly efficient method that is well suited to modern electronic computer analysis. A doubly curved, non-linear quadrilateral element is developed. The versatility and efficiency of the present method is illustrated by several examples including large deflection and post shear-buckling behaviour of plates and snap-through of shallow shells.
