We propose a new spectral element model for finite rectangular plate elements with arbitrary boundary conditions. The new spectral element model is developed by modifying the boundary splitting method used in our previous study so that the four corner nodes of a finite rectangular plate element become active. Thus, the new spectral element model can be applied to any finite rectangular plate element with arbitrary boundary conditions, while the spectral element model introduced in the our previous study is valid only for finite rectangular plate elements with four fixed corner nodes. The new spectral element model can be used as a generic finite element model because it can be assembled in any plate direction. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the new spectral element model are validated by a comparison with exact solutions, solutions obtained by the standard finite element method, and solutions from the commercial finite element analysis package ANSYS.

Summary:—A family of alternative expressions is presented suitable for the representation of the lateral deflection of rectangular plate elements in bending. Such expressions are extensions of a simple polynomial representation assumed in earlier work. The new expressions are such that not all displacement continuity conditions are met completely but, nonetheless, a criterion ensuring convergence of numerical results to true stiffness levels is satisfied. Deflection and natural frequency estimates based on one expression of the proposed family demonstrate rapid convergence and high numerical accuracy.

The analytical construction of displacement functions for plate elements subject to bending was discussed at some length in ref. 1. Attention was thereby drawn to both triangular and quadrilateral elements available in the ASKA system, which satisfy either all kinematic compatibility conditions or are deficient in the continuity of the gradient normal to the edge. The most rudimentary elements of the triangular set consist of the so-called fully compatible TRIB 3C and the TRIB 3, which satisfies the slope condition only at the vertices. The TRIB 3C corresponds in principle, but not in detail, to the element evolved by Bazeley et al but allows, however, also for linear taper.
