Abstract
Fast Matlab-based Finite Element Solver for the Problem of Bending of Mindlin Plates
Incoming article date: 29.07.2019In this paper we describe efficient Matlab-based implementation of the finite element solver for the problem of bending of Mindlin plates. This solver is tested on fine meshes consisting of a large number of linear rectangular finite elements. The performance of this solver is so good that even for fine meshes considered the CPU time is small enough.
