Abstract: | A finite element formulation using the penalty function method to analyse exactly the junctions of plate and shell built-up structures is suggested for an isoparametric shell element. The connectivity condition at the junction is added to the potential energy functional by the penalty parameter and the interpolating function of displacements. This formulation yields an integral-type stiffness matrix of the special junction elements, which can directly evaluate the surface tractions at the junction. For applying the technique suggested here to the optimum design of structures with junction parts, a design sensitivity analysis formulation for the adhesive special element is also developed. The technique is applied to the minimum-weight design problems of isotropic and composite laminated plates with a stiffener subjected to stress constraints. |
