A nonlinear elasto-plastic analysis of Reissner-Mindlin plates by finite element method

In this paper, a finite element simulation of nonlinear elasto-plastic deformations of Reissner-Mindlin bending plates is described. The previously proposed four-node Q4g element with transverse energy of shearing for thick bending plates is extended to account for isotropic material nonlinearities...
