FEMOL ANALYSIS FOR REISSNER PLATE ON RIGD FOUNDATION

The Finite Element Method of Lines (FEMOL) discrete Ordinary DifferentialEquation system (ODEs) was derived for the Reissner plate on rigid foundation according tomoving boundary variational principle, and was solved using the newly developed ODE solver,COL90. The numerical results show that the method is a competable semi-analytical method formoving boundary problems as its high accuracy, rapid convergence and unnecessary remesh.
