Abstract
The approximation to the solution of a laminated plate problem is considered. The main result consists in proving that a performant scheme can be obtained by simply coupling a standard membrane element for the in-plane displacements with a robust method for plate bending problem, both elements related to the case of homogeneous material. A rigorous convergence analysis is developed for the case of clamped boundary conditions. Numerical results are presented, showing the accordance between the theoretical results and the actual computations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
