Abstract

Within the context of classical plate theory (CPT) a super-B-spline finite element method (FEM) based on the principle of minimum potential energy is developed for buckling and vibration analyses of rectangular or skew plates in a very efficient way. B-spline functions with equally-spaced knots are used in the analysis and thus efficiency is gained from taking the advantage of repetitive B-spline structural modelling. A couple of numerical applications are presented, which demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
