Abstract
In this paper, we present a new quadrilateral discrete
Kirchhoff flat shell element (called DKQ16) with sixteen
degrees of freedom (three displacements U, V, W at each
corner, a rotation theta, at each mid-side) for the linear analysis
of plates and shells. This new element is formulated on the
basis of the so-called rational element method proposed by
W. Zhong et al. In this new formulation, the rational
quadrilateral plane element (RQ4) is employed for the
membrane part and a new discrete Kirchhoff plate element
DKQ8 proposed by the present authors is taken for the
bending part. The DKQ 16 element is one of the most simple
quadrilateral flat shell elements. It can be combined with the
DKT 12 (or Morley) element.
Numerical results for some typical problems demonstrate the
overall good performance of the new shell element.
