A Creep Bending Analysis of Plates by the Finite Element Method.

Abstract

The finite element method of structural analysis is applied to the nonlinear problem of stationary creep bending of thin plates. The finite element formulation is derived from a kinematic variational theorem analogous to the theorem of stationary potential energy and results in a set of simultaneous nonlinear algebraic equations which are solved using the Newton-Raphson method.
