A Refined Higher-Order Hybrid Stress Quadrilateral Element for Free Vibration and Buckling Analyses of Reissner-Mindlin Plates

This paper is devoted to develop a new 8-node higher-order hybrid stress element (QH8) for free vibration and buckling analysis based on the Mindlin/Reissner plate theory. In particular, a simple explicit expression of a refine method with an adjustable constant is introduced to improve the accuracy...
