The finite element method for sheet metal structures - development of a computer program
Abstract
A finite element model was developed for the analysis of structures made up of thin plate elements. The aim is to ascertain whether the finite element method yields a usable model for the analysis of this type of structure, i.e., to find how the different possible instability phenomena are reproduced and what accuracy is attainable in the results.
