stress analysis of mixed type finite element of circular plate

ABSTRACT
In the present study, it is emphasized that mixed-type finite element formulation, which is different from the conventional displacement-type formulation, has both displacements and stresses as its primary variables. Therefore, stress, as well as displacement boundary conditions, can be imposed easily and exactly. Except around the outer edge where support is placed, stresses obtained by both displacement and mixed formulation are close to each other when the circular plate is subject to transverse uniform loading. However, large discrepancies exist around the locations of constraints, where the stresses are always significant and critical. Since mixed formulation of the present study can completely satisfy the stress and displacement boundary conditions, it can theoretically provide more accurate stress analysis and should be considered as a more appropriate analysis tool.
