NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM OF ISOTROPIC PLATE ANALYSIS WITH THE USE OF B-SPLINE DISCRETE-CONTINUAL FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Abstract

Numerical solution of the problem of isotropic plate analysis with the use of B-spline discrete-continual finite element method (specific version of wavelet-based discrete-continual finite element method) is under consideration in the distinctive paper. The original operational continual and discrete-continual formulations of the problem are given, some actual aspects of construction of normalized basis functions of a B-spline are considered, the corresponding local constructions for an arbitrary discrete-continual finite element are described, some information about the numerical implementation and an example of analysis are presented.
