1. Introduction

Bending plates are widely used in construction of various buildings and structures. They are important constructive elements. From their strength very often depends the security and reliability of the entire structure. A more accurate definition of the internal forces, arising in bent plates, from various types of loads and impacts, remains an actual task now. Therefore, a lot of scientific articles and books are devoted to the construction of various finite elements modeling the bending of plates [1, 2], but the problem remains topical.

When finite element method is used based on the displacements fields approximation, it is difficult to select suitable functions for the approximations [3-6]. As is known, when we solve problems of bending of plates by the finite element method, the polynomials, used to approximate the displacements, must have higher order, in comparison with the plane problem of the theory of elasticity. It is difficult to ensure the continuity of the stress fields at the node points and along the boundaries of the finite elements [2]. Stresses

and forces are usually determined for the central points of finite elements. In [7, 8], displacement fields along the boundaries of finite elements are accorded by means of additional equations introduced by means of penalty functions or Lagrange multipliers.

In paper [9], the Ritz method is used to solve the problem of nonlinear bending of elliptic plates, and comparison is made with the solutions of other authors. The construction of finite elements for bent plates is possible based on the application of the equations of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity [10, 11]. This approach allows to obtain good results when analyzing thick plates, when it is necessary to consider the shear strains.

A few papers are devoted to the use of mixed and hybrid methods for the construction of finite elements [12-15]. With this approach, the approximations of displacement fields and stress (force) fields are used, which leads to an increase in the total number of unknowns. In addition, the obtained solutions do not possess the properties of the lower or upper boundary. In [16], the displacement function is chosen as polynomial of the fourth degree to solve the problem of bending of clamped rectangular plate. The results of calculations of deflections, bending moments and shearing forces for square plates of different thicknesses are presented and compared with the results of other authors.

The finite element models for bending the plate according to the Kirchhoff theory can be constructed since approximations only for forces [17-19]. In this case, the solution is built on the basis functional of the additional energy. Algebraic equilibrium equations for nodes are forming using the principle of possible displacements and they are including in the functional as penalty functions. It is shown that in the case of using piecewise-constant functions to approximate the nodal moments, the solution has property of upper boundary.

In [22], a comparative analysis of different types of finite elements is carried out for the calculation of bent plates. More than ten types of finite elements are developed since the Lagrange principle, and they have a different number of degrees of freedom in the form of nodal displacements and angles of rotation. Also presented many finite elements developed since mixed variational principles, when both nodal forces and displacements are used as unknowns. In book consider only two finite elements developed since the method of forces having 9 and 16 degrees of freedom. Obviously, finite elements based on the method of forces are not developed enough.

To solve the plates bending problems, incompatible elements of the displacement method building based on the Lagrange functional are widely used. When formulating such elements, additional conditions are introduced for matching the slope angles of the normal along the boundaries of finite elements [24, 25], or independent approximations are used for displacements and angles of rotation [26, 27, 30], and then additional conditions are used to harmonize the introduced approximations. Also, various hybrid [27, 28], equilibrium [33] and mixed formulations [35] of the finite element method are used for the solution.

The present paper is aimed at constructing the solution of the problem of bending of Kirchhoff plates by the finite element method based on approximation of forces and using only the principles of minimum of additional energy and possible displacements.

2. Methods

The solution of plate bending problems in stresses can be obtained using the additional energy functional [1, 2]:

U* - additional energy of the strains, V*- potential of boundary forces corresponding to the specified displacements [1]; {A} - vector given displacements of nodes; {T} - vector boundary forces; S - boundary

(2)

where: E - modulus of elasticity of the material; J is the Poisson ratio; t is the thickness of the plate.

In accordance with the principle of minimum additional energy, the moments functions Mx,My,Mxy, must satisfy the differential equations of equilibrium. The system of differential equations of equilibrium for bent plates, under the action of distributed load q, has the following form [2]:

-Q:

-х -y -M -M

xy

дх

-y

-Mv -M

- y

- х

-Qx = 0,

- Qy = o.

(3)

Eliminating the transverse forces Qx and Qy from (3), we obtain the known differential equation of equilibrium of second-order:

d2M, dx2

+ о д2мху

+ ■

d2Mv

дхду ду

+ q = 0.

(4)

Since, in the general case, it is practically impossible to select the basis functions for Mx, My, Mx y, which satisfy the differential equation (4), it is suggested to introduce additional stress functions of Southwell [2]. Then the moments are expressed in terms of the derivatives of the introduced stress functions. This approach leads to additional difficulties in specifying loads and boundary conditions and has not received wide practical spread.

In [17-19] another approach is proposed for the solution. The subject area is divided into rectangular or triangular finite elements. The fields of moments in the region of the finite element can be approximated by linear or piecewise constant functions (Figure 1). Linear approximating functions (Figure 1a) ensure the continuity of the moment fields across the entire subject area. Piecewise-constant functions (Figure 1b) satisfy the differential equation of equilibrium (4) in the absence of a distributed load and are continuous along the boundaries of finite elements but have discontinuities inside the region of the finite element.

Figure 1. Variants of the approximation of moments in the region of the finite element: a) the moments vary linearly; b) the moments are piecewise-constant

For simplicity, we assume that the given node displacements are absent. Then, using for moments any variant of approximating functions (Figure 1), the expression for the functional (1) can be written in the following matrix form:

Пс = 1{M}T[D]{M} ^ win,

(5)

where{M} is a vector of unknown stresses for the whole system; [D] is the matrix of flexibility for the entire system.

Figure 2. Possible displacement of the node 13 and adjacent finite elements

Using the principle of possible displacements (Figure 2), for all non-supported nodes of the system, we will get algebraic equations of equilibrium of forces along the vertical axis Z:

[Ci}T{Mi] + Pi = 0, iESz

(6)

where(Mj) is the vector of unknown node moments of all finite elements adjacent to node i; Sz is the set of nodes, that have non-fixed displacement along the vertical axis Z; Pt is the generalized force corresponding to the potential of external loads for possible displacements of node i along the Z axis; [Ci] is vector containing coefficients on unknown node moments in the equilibrium equation of node i along the Z axis. Algebraic equilibrium equations (6) ensure the equilibrium of the moment fields in discrete sense. Unknown parameters are only the moments in nodes of finite elements grid. In [17-19], the solution of this problem was considered using the penalty functions method, which makes it possible to obtain the functional (7):

n = \{M}T[D]{M} + ZieBs a ({Ci}T{Mi} + P).

(7)

a is the penalty parameter, recommendations for the choice of which are given in [17-19]. Equating the derivatives (7) along the unknown nodal moments to zero, we obtain a system of linear algebraic equations. The matrix of non-zero coefficients of this system of equations will have ribbon structure for any variant of the moments approximation.

In this paper, to minimize the functional (5), in the presence of constraints in the form of system of algebraic equations (6), we will use the method of Lagrange multipliers:

nc = 1{M}T[D]{M} + IlieHzwi({Ci}T{Mi} + Pt) ^ min,

(8)

Wi - vertical displacement of node i. In this solution, additional unknowns appear in the form of node displacements. But we must accent that the approximations of the displacement field in region of finite element are not used in the getting (8).

We represent the expression (8) in form more convenient for constructing the solution: nc = l[M]T[D][M] + [w]t([F] - [L][M]) ^ min,

(9)

where {w} is the global vector of unknown nodal displacements for the whole system; {F} is vector whose elements are equal to the works of external forces on the corresponding unit displacements of the nodes; [L] is the matrix of "equilibrium", whose rows are formed from the corresponding vectors {C¿}. If we equate the derivatives nc c along the vector {M} to zero, we obtain the equations of consistency of deformations which expressed in the forces:

[D]{M} - [L]T{w} = 0.

Derivatives nc along the vector [w] are the system of equations of equilibrium of nodes

[F] - [L][M] = 0.

Combining (10) and (11), we obtain the following system of linear algebraic equations:

[D] -[L]T]({M}

[L] [0] J ({w}

0

-{F}}-

(11)

(12)

Expressing the vector [M] from the first matrix equation and substituting it into the second, we obtain

[K] = [L][D]-1[L]T, (13)

[K][w] = [F], (14)

[M] = [D]-1[L]T[w]. (15)

Thus, solving the system of algebraic equations (14), we obtain the values of the node displacements [w], and then the vector of moments [M] from (15).

If linear functions are used to approximate the moments (Figure 1a), then the matrix [K] will be filled and the solution of the system of linear algebraic equations (14) or the direct solution of the system of equations (12) will require large computational costs. Therefore, below, we will consider variant of the approximation of moments in the region of finite element by piecewise constant functions (Figure 1b). In this case, the matrix [D] is block-diagonal, and the matrix [K] will have ribbon structure of non-zero elements.

Will obtain the necessary expressions for the elements of the matrices [D], [L] and the vector [F], which enter (9), when rectangular and triangular finite elements are used to discredit the subject area (Figure 3).

Figure 4. Separation of a triangular finite element into regions with constant moments: a) an arbitrary triangle; b) right-angled triangle

Since the bending moments and torques are piecewise constant, the expression for the additional deformation energy in the global coordinate system can be written in the form of simple sum:

where m is the total number of nodes; niR is the number of rectangular elements connected to node i; niT -the number of triangular elements connected to node i; As is the area of finite element. We introduce the notation for the flexibility matrix of "neighborhoods" of the node i; Af is the area of the part of the triangular finite element with constant bending moments (Figure 4a). This point can be defined as the point of intersection of perpendiculars, drawn from the middle of the sides (Figure 4a).

For a rectangular finite element, the separation of an element into regions with constant moments is uniquely - into four equal regions. For a triangular element, each side must be equally divided, but there must also be a point inside the element in which the three areas, related to the nodes, intersect. If the largest angle of the triangle is greater than 90 degrees, then such a point lies outside the triangle. In this case, the triangle is divided into regions by lines passing through the middle of the sides - these lines will be parallel to the sides of the triangle. Such a division of a triangular element into regions with constant

moments makes it possible to obtain more accurate results, than in the case of division simply into three

In Figure 4a, the point O is the center of a circle described about the triangle. OA, OB, OC -perpendiculars, directed from the middle of the corresponding sides of the triangle. Denote the lengths of the sides of the triangle - 1i2,123, l3i. From the schemes in Figure 4a we get:

It is obvious that for a right-angled triangle (Figure 4b) - A\= A2 = -AS,A3 =-As. For an

-well as for a right-angled triangle, we take: A- = A\ =-As,A3 = -As. Besides, you do not need to use too elongated triangles. Better such triangles divided into two more correct triangles.

We introduce the notation for the flexibility matrix of "neighborhoods" of node and for the global flexibility matrix for the entire system, which consists of matrices of flexibility for all nodes of the system:

Consider the derivation of the equilibrium equations for possible displacement of node of rectangular finite element in the local coordinate system XiOYi (Figure 5). For rectangular finite element, we introduce also the local coordinate system ^cq, connected with its center (Figure 5) and enter the basic functions, which are expressed in normalized local coordinates in the following form:

Figure 5. a - possible displacement of the node 1 and deformation of the rectangular finite element; b - the red line shows the graph of the change in the angle of rotation of the sides of the finite element from the possible movement of the node 1

The displacements of the points of the finite element after the possible displacement of the node ( = 1,2,3,4) can be expressed in the following form:

(1 + ^Od + ViV)

(22)

Possible displacements along each coordinate axis vary linearly, so the curvatures Skx and 8ky along the axes Xx and Yt are respectively zero, and the torsional curvature Skxy is constant.

Thus, with possible displacement of node i, only internal torques Mxy and normal bending moments

Mn along the boundaries of finite elements re at the corresponding rotation angles Sßn will work. Then the work of internal forces for the finite element k on possible displacements of node i can be expressed in the following form:

In expression (27), the coefficients ^ — £4, which are to the right of the moments, consider the directions of the moments Mx and of the rotation angle Spx. On the side 1-4, the moments Mx and the rotation Spx are directed equally, so the first two terms in (27) will be positive, since ^ = = — 1. On the side 2-3, the moments and the rotation are directed in the opposite direction, so the third and fourth terms will be negative, since ^ = = 1. Calculating the integrals in (27), we can obtain the following compact expression:

(37)

The matrix can be called the local matrix of "equilibrium" of the finite element. From matrices [Lk] for finite elements, in accordance with the numbering of the nodes and elements, global "equilibrium" matrix [L] is formed for the whole system.

The potential of the external concentrated and uniformly distributed loads for possible displacements of the node i along the global coordinate axis is determined by the formula (38).

8Vi = Pi+-qkab = Ri. (38)

Pt - the force concentrated at node i; qk - uniformly distributed by element load. The generalized forces Ri are placed in the vector [F] (see (12)).

Consider possible displacement of node of triangular finite element (Figure 6). We can express possible displacements of the nodes of finite element using triangular coordinates:

bi = 7i + 1 yi + 2,Ci = Xi+2 Xi+1. A is the area of the triangular element; xi, yi are the coordinates of node i (Figure 3).

Figure 6. Possible displacement of the node 1 of the triangular finite element

Triangular coordinates are the natural coordinates of the triangular region. The function Li takes value of 1 in node i and values of zero in the other two nodes. Since the function Li is linear with respect to x and y coordinates, curvatures Skx and 8ky along the X and Y axes, respectively, and torsional curvature Skxy for a possible node displacement will be zero. In this case, the finite element moves as

In Figure 6 lines 1A, AB, AC are perpendicular to the corresponding sides of the triangles 2-3,1-2, 3-1. The angles of rotation of the sides are denoted respectively - (p12, p23, (p31. The values of angles of sides rotation can be easily determined by means of geometric scheme (Figure 6):

Considering the piecewise constant approximation of the moments, the expression for the work of internal forces on possible displacement of node 1 (Figure 6) can be written in the following form:

SU£Z = \MJnii-2<Pi2k2+\Mini3-1<P3lhl+\M2nil-2<Pl2k2 1 M 2,2-3 V 23^23 — 11 -Mn,2-3V23k3 +-M33-1W31I31.

Substituting (44) into (45), we obtain the expression for 5U1^Z:

To obtain the expression for the work of internal forces for possible displacement of node 2, we need to perform cyclic replacement of the indices in expression (46): replace index 1 by index 2, index 2 by 3, and index 3 replaced by index 1. Then we obtain the expression for 8U2Z :

Let us unite the node moments in the global coordinate system XOY for the triangular finite element with the index k into the vector [Mk].

[Mk]T = (Mx,i Myi Mxyi Mx,2 My2 Mxy,2 Mx,3 Myi3 Mxy,s). (49)

We also introduce vector combining the values of the work of internal forces for possible displacements of nodes of finite element:

{suk}=

5U{Z SUk2,z

suk

(50)

'3, zj

Then we can write the matrix expression:

[ sukk] = [Lk][Mk]. (51)

The matrix [Lk] has 3 rows and 9 columns. The elements of the matrix [Lk] are coefficients under the corresponding moments in the expressions (46)-(48). From matrices [Lk] for finite elements, in accordance with the numbering of nodes and elements, global "equilibrium" matrix [ L] is formed for the whole system.

The global equilibrium matrix [L] for the whole system will have "tape-line" structure of non-zero elements. The number of rows of the matrix [L] is equal to the number of unfixed nodes of the system n. Indexes for unknown moments are assigned in accordance with the numbering of nodes. Therefore, the width of the "tape" of non-zero elements of the matrix [L] will be determined by the maximum difference of the node numbers of all finite elements adjoining to the node. For example, for node 13 in Figure 2 the maximum difference of the indexes of nodes, the finite elements adjoining it, mv 13 = 18-7 = 11. Accordingly, the width of the "tape" of non-zero elements for the row of the matrix [L] corresponding to node 13, mL13 = (mp13 + 1)3 = 36. After calculating the width of the "tape" mLii of the matrix [L] for each of the rows, the maximum value mLmax is determined. Thus, for elements of the matrix [L], we can use a rectangular array consisting of mLrnax columns and n lines.

In addition, it is necessary to form an array Ind, consisting of two columns. In the first and second columns, respectively, the minimum and maximum indexes of finite element nodes, for each row of the matrix [L], are stored. For example, for the row corresponding to node 13 in Figure 2, we obtain: Ind[13,1] = 7,Ind[13,2] = 18. The Ind array is used in the construction of the matrix multiplication algorithm for calculating the elements of the matrix [K"] = [L][D]-1[L]T, and, also, for determining the width of the "tape" of non-zero elements of matrix - mK.

The potential of external concentrated and evenly distributed loads for possible displacement of node i along the global coordinate axis is determined by formula (52).

SVi=Pi+1qkAk =Rt. (52)

Pi - the force concentrated at node ; q k - uniformly distributed by element load. The generalized forces Ri are placed in the vector [F] (see (12)).

3. Results and Discussion

According to the program developed in MathCad 14.0, calculations of square and rectangular plates were performed on the action of concentrated force and distributed load (Figure 7). Hinged-supported and clamped plates were calculated in accordance with the Kirchhoff theory. In the calculations, grids of rectangular and triangular finite elements were used. The plate has the following parameters: side length - 6m or 3m, thickness - 1m, modulus of elasticity E = 10000 kN/m2, Poisson's ratio ^ = 0.3, uniformly distributed load q = 10 kN/m2.

As consequence of the symmetry of the problem, the quarter of the plate was calculated, with the corresponding boundary conditions on the sides lying on the symmetry axes. At the nodes lying on the axes of symmetry, the torques were assumed to be zero. The bending moments directed along the plate boundary and moments directed perpendicular to the boundary were assumed to be zero in the support nodes of the hinged plates.

In [23] analytical solutions of the plate bending problems for various types of the support of sides for distributed and concentrated loads are presented. The displacements are expressed in the form:

The results of calculations of plates according to the proposed method were compared with the results obtained by the finite elements method in the LIRA-SAPR program and analytical solutions. A comparison of solutions is shown in Figures 8-15 and in Tables 2-16. In the figures, the green line shows the analytical solutions from [23]. In the tables and in the figures, the grid parameters are indicated for the whole plate.

By beginning we estimate the convergence of displacements determined by the proposed calculation method in stresses and by the finite element method in displacements:

- for all the considered variants of calculation schemes and loads, the displacements obtained in the stresses, when crushing the grid, tend to the exact values from above - the proposed solution is more flexible and has the property of convergence of displacements from above;

- the solution in displacements (LIRA-SAPR) tends to the exact value from above if rectangular elements are used, and from below, if triangular elements are used - in one case the solution is more flexible, in the other case it is more rigid.

Analysis of the obtained results allows us to do the following conclusions about the accuracy of calculating bending moments (Table 9):

- the proposed solution method in stresses makes it possible to obtain the values of the bending moments with greater accuracy than the finite element method in displacements (LIRA-SAPR) for all the considered plate bending problems;

- the greatest error in calculating the moments for solving in stresses is 0.8 %, and for the finite element method in displacements (LIRA-SAPR), the error in calculating the moments in the clamped sides reaches 13 %;

- when using elongated rectangular and triangular elements (Figure 7c, d), the accuracy of calculating the bending moments according to the proposed technique in stresses is reduced a little;

- when calculating by the finite element method in displacements (LIRA-SAPR), the moments are determined for the centers of the finite elements, but for calculation in stresses - for the finite elements nodes;

It is also necessary to note the following computational features of obtaining the solution in stresses:

- additional computational costs associated with matrix multiplication [L] [D]-1[L]T are necessary to form the resolving system of linear equations. Since the matrix [D]-1 is block-diagonal (block size 3x3), and the matrix [L] has form of tape (the width of the tape of non-zero elements mLmax of Tables 2-3), we can use the special algorithm of multiplication of matrices, allowing to reduce computational costs;

- the resolving system of linear equations, in comparison with the solution by the finite element method in displacements, has a smaller number of unknowns n and a smaller width of the tape of non-zero elements mK (Tables 2-3).

The paper [29] compares the results of calculations of clamped plates on the action of a uniformly distributed load for four types of triangular finite elements: BZIC is uncoordinated element of the displacement method [24, 30, 31]; TEC is element with forced compatibility of the inclination angles of the normal [26]; DKT is discrete Kirchhoff theory triangular element [30-31]; HSM is triangular hybrid finite element [33]. In Tables 10-11, the results of calculations for clamped square and rectangular plates, with a ratio of sides of 2 to 1, obtained for action uniformly distributed load, are compared. In Tables 10-11 shows the results of calculations for finite element grid 11 x 11 (for quarter of a plate), which corresponds to an 22 x 22 grid for the whole plate. In the tables, the solutions obtained by the proposed finite element method in stresses is designated FEM-S.

Comparison of the values in Tables 10-11 allows us to have the following conclusions:

- rate of convergence of displacements obtained by the proposed method at stresses lower than the rate of convergence of displacements for finite elements TEC, DKT, HSM; for elongated finite elements rate of convergence of displacements, obtained by method in stresses, is near to the rate of convergence of displacements for the BZIC element (Table 11);

- the rate of convergence of the bending moments obtained by the proposed method in the stresses is higher than the rate of convergence of the moments obtained by the method with other considered finite elements;

- the use of elongated finite elements (Table 11) to a lesser degree leads to an increase in the error in calculating the moments by the proposed solution method in stresses, then for other considered finite elements; especially, this applies to bending moments in clamped sides of plate.

Note, that in constructing solution by the proposed technique in stresses, unlike traditional finite element method, we do not form stiffness matrix or flexible matrix for the finite element. A matrix of coefficients of system of linear algebraic equations for the whole system is directly formed. This matrix can be considered a stiffness matrix of the system, since it connects the displacements of nodes with external forces. When constructing the solutions by the proposed method, there is no need to apply any approximating functions for displacements at the finite element domain. For the solution, only approximations of the fields of possible displacements are used, which can be arbitrary, satisfying the kinematic boundary conditions. This approach is general and is applicable to solving various problems of building mechanics: flat and volume problems of the theory of elasticity, shell calculations, calculation of rod systems [20, 21].

4. Conclusion

1. The presented method of calculating the bent plates according to the Kirchhoff theory by the finite element method in stresses has property of convergence from above - the displacements obtained by this method converge to the exact values from above.

2. The solution by method in stresses requires large computational costs when obtaining elements of matrix of the resolving system of linear algebraic equations, but the number of unknowns and the width of the tape of non-zero elements is less than when solving by the finite element method in displacements.

3. When solving by method in stresses, the values of moments is determined directly at nodes of finite element grid, and not at the centers of the finite elements, which allows obtaining more accurate values of the moments, especially in the clamped nodes.

4. The proposed method of solving in stresses is based on the fundamental principles of structural mechanics - the principle of minimum of additional energy and the principle of possible displacements. Constant functions are used to approximate the forces, and linear ones are used for possible displacements, which ensures the convergence of the approximate solution to the exact solution, when we crush the finite element grid.
