Trang 3Thin Plate Theory ( Kirchhoff Plate Theory)
Assumptions (similar to those in the beam theory):
A straight line along the normal to the mid surface remains straight and normal to the deflected mid surface after loading, that is, these
is no transverse shear deformation:

Thick Plate Theory (Mindlin Plate Theory)
If the thickness t of a plate is not “thin”, t/L = 1/10 (L = a characteristic dimension of the plate), then the thick plate theory by Mindlin should be applied This theory accounts for the angle changes within a cross section, that is,
Trang 4Shells and Shell Elements
Shells – Thin structures witch span over curved surfaces.
Example:
Sea shell, egg shell (the wonder of the nature);
Containers, pipes, tanks;
Car bodies;

Trang 6- Element Description:
SHELL181 is suitable for analyzing thin to moderately-thick shell structures It is a four-node element with six degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the x, y, and z directions, and rotations about the x, y, and z-axes (If the membrane option is used, the element has translational degrees of freedom only) The degenerate triangular option should only be used as filler elements in mesh generation.
SHELL181 is well-suited for linear, large rotation, and/or large strain nonlinear applications Change in shell thickness is accounted for in nonlinear analyses.
SHELL181 may be used for layered applications for modeling composite shells or sandwich construction.
Trang 7SHELL181 Input Data
- SHELL181 Geometry
Trang 8SHELL181 Input Data
- Single-Layer Definition
To define the thickness (and other information), use section definition, as follows:
- Multilayer Definition
The shell section commands allow for layered shell definition Options are available for specifying the thickness, material, orientation, and number of integration points through the thickness of the layers.

Trang 13underside of the shell (i.e the pressure acts in the +z direction) Since
the geometry and loads are symmetric about both the x and y-axes, we
need to model only one-quarter of the structure The dimensions of the plate and stiffeners are shown in the figure below which shows only one-quarter of the structure The Young's modulus E =7.3x10 4 MPa and the Poisson ratio is 0.33.
