Timber Plate Dynamics with Space-Time Finite Element (2006)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Hapca, A. I. (2006). Timber Plate Dynamics with Space-Time Finite Element. Timber Engineering,

A new space-time finite element formulation for dynamic analysis of timber plates is presented. The method is based on an unconventional Hamilton variational principle and a special technique in time domain interpolation is employed. For the simple c...

Eight-node Reissner–Mindlin plate element based on boundary interpolation using Timoshenko beam function (2006)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., & Kuang, J. S. (2007). Eight-node Reissner–Mindlin plate element based on boundary interpolation using Timoshenko beam function. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 69(7), 1345-1373. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.1809

A new eight-node Reissner-Mindlin plate element is developed with a special interpolation within the element. This special interpolation is an extension of the element boundary interpolation that employs Timoshenko beam function for the boundary segm...
