See moreIn a previous report [1], the isoparametric spline finite strip method was successfully applied to the in-plane stress linear elastic analysis of perforated thin-walled structures. In the present report the application of the isoparametric spline finite strip method is further extended to the bending of perforated plates. The general theory of the isoparametric spline finite strip method is briefly introduced while the development of the Mindlin bending theory and its matrices are discussed in detail. The reliability of the method is demonstrated by comparisons with finely meshed finite element analyses. Square plates in bending containing openings of different shapes are analysed.
