Hierarchical modeling of laminated composite plates using variable kinematic finite elements and mesh superposition
A hierarchical, 2-D, displacement-based, global/local finite element model is developed to permit an accurate, efficient analysis of localized 3-D effects in laminated composite plates. The model is developed using hierarchical, multiple assumed displacement fields at two different levels: (1) at th...
