! Principle of virtual work for the Reissner-Mindlin plate (with summation convention)
! Constitutive equations
! Only the interpolant and its first derivative needs to be square integrable " Lagrange shape
functions are sufficient
! The integrals are evaluated with numerical integration. If too few integration points are used, the
element stiffness matrix will be rank deficient.
! The rank of the properly integrated stiffness matrix must be 12-3=9
! The necessary number of integration points for the bilinear element is 2x2
! In uniform reduced integration the bending and shear terms are integrated with same
rule, which is lower than the “normal”
! In selective reduced integration the bending term is integrated with the normal rule and
the shear term with a lower-order rule
Uniform reduced
1x1 2x2 3x3
integration
! The inner variables are eliminated by enforcing zero shear stress at two
gauss points
! Interpolate the shear strains from the collocation points using special shape
functions
