Finite Element Analysis of Annular Sector Plate

The book "Finite Element Analysis of Annular Sector Plate" provides a comprehensive examination of the finite element analysis of annular sector plates using Mindlin plate theory and Karman's nonlinear deformation relationships. The Newton-Raphson method is employed to solve nonlinear equations, and the formulation is carried out in polar coordinates, facilitating the application of boundary conditions to curved and inclined edges. The work includes the development of two computer programs for the linear and nonlinear analysis of moderately thick annular sector plates. The results are presented in an appropriate format and compared with existing literature, making the book a valuable contribution to the field of civil engineering.
