ST7-1.55.10.2 Comparison of Element Types for Thin Structure
Whenever a finite element analysis is to be undertaken, one of the first considerations to be made by the analyst relates to element choice. This document summarises the different elements that can be used to model thin walled structure and compares the accuracy of the results for a specific problem.
The model considered in this example is a rectangular flat plate. The text, Formulas for Stress and Strain by Roark and Young (Table 26 8a) contains a theoretical solution for the centre displacement...
