A MITC3+ element improved by Edge-based smoothed strains for free vibration and buckling analyses of porous plates based on the first-order shear deformation theory

This paper presents the free vibration and critical buckling analyses of porous plates based on the first-order shear deformation theory by the proposed three-node triangular element. The bending strain fields of the suggested element are enriched by the bubble node located at the centroid of the triangular element.
