Which bending theory should be used for the calculation of plates and shells – Kirchhoff or Mindlin?
In the "Calculation Parameters" dialog box, you can select between both bending theories.
In the calculation according to Mindlin, shear force deformations are included; according to Kirchhoff, they are not taken into account. This means: the Mindlin theory leads to more precise results in the case of thicker plates and shells, the Kirchhoff theory is sufficient in the case of thin elements.
