In current design practice, analysis of plate and grid structures in civil engineering, such as waffle slabs, ribbed plates and slab-girder bridges, is based largely on code-specified approximate methods, and deflections of these systems are rarely e...

Eight-node membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom for analysis of in-plane stiffness of thick floor plates (2008)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., & Kuang, J. S. (2008). Eight-node membrane element with drilling degrees of freedom for analysis of in-plane stiffness of thick floor plates. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 76(13), 2117-2136. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.2395

The development of eight-node arbitrary quadrilateral membrane elements with drilling degrees of freedom is presented using the compatible displacement interpolation within the element. The element is considered to develop specifically for analysing...
