Application of the curvature smoothing technique for four-node quadrilateral Reissner-Mindlin plate element

A quadrilateral element with smoothed curvatures for Reissner-Mindlin structure plates is proposed. A curvature matrix at an arbitrary point is normalized by a non-local approximation over a smoothing function. By choosing a constant smoothed function and applying the divergence theorem, the bending...
