Extract

The basic theory for the new TUBA family of plate elements has been presented in ref. 1, but lack of space did not allow the inclusion of all relevant developments. This refers, in particular, to the kinematically consistent load matrices, the so-called initial loads due to initial strains, and the geometrical stiffness for the analysis of buckling phenomena. In view of numerous requests by readers of the JOURNAL, we complete in this sequel the presentation with a brief account of the information omitted in ref. 1. At the same time we reproduce a small number of examples which show the great power of the new elements. To facilitate the reader's task the numbering of the current sections, equations and figures follow on consecutively from ref. 1.
