About this document
Comparative Analysis of Plate Elements by Eristra Ernawan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The paper compares four triangular plate bending elements (T3γs, DST, DKMT, MITC3+) that include shear effects using three degrees of freedom per node. It provides detailed formulations of the elements and evaluates their performance on classical tests as well as s-norm convergence tests for a wide range of plate thicknesses. The paper finds that DKMT and MITC3+ perform best overall, with DKMT having a slight advantage due to its simpler formulation and good performance on all tests.
