Abstract

A finite element method is proposed for investigating the general elastic multi-structure problem, where displacements on bodies, longitudinal displacements on plates, longitudinal displacements and rotational angles on rods are discretized using conforming linear elements, transverse displacements on plates and rods are discretized respectively using TRUNC elements and Hermite elements of third order, and the discrete generalized displacement fields in individual elastic members are coupled together by some feasible interface conditions. The unique solvability of the method is verified by the Lax-Milgram lemma after deriving generalized Korn's inequalities in some nonconforming element spaces on elastic multi-structures. The quasi-optimal error estimate in the energy norm is also established. Some numerical results are presented at the end.
