Abstract: This paper is concerned with the buckling analysis of simply supported rectangular Reissner–Mindlin plates subjected to linearly varying edge loads. An analytical solution is developed and the effect of load intensity ...

Abstract: An ODE-solver-based method for the solution of the deflection and stresses of the deck plate of an oil storage tank floating roof, either with or without a central pontoon, is proposed in this paper. Based on the bending ...

Abstract: A weak form quadrature element formulation is established to obtain the coefficients of Mode III crack-tip asymptotic fields. The problem domain is divided into circular subdomains near the crack tips and several integrable ...
