✦ Synopsis

A particular discontinuous Galerkin finite element formulation for the simulation of Kirchhoff plates is presented. It is rotation-free and utilises standard C 0 Lagrange finite element basis functions, with the required continuity imposed in a weak sense across element boundaries. The implications of the scheme in terms of coercivity and convergence of the Galerkin problem in various norms are studied, with the formulation shown to be stable for any positive value of a penalty parameter. A priori error estimates are supported by a range of numerical examples. Properties of the approach for the important eigenvalue problems of plate buckling and vibration are also examined through numerical examples. Based on the results of the analysis and numerical examples, it is concluded that the formulation is robust, accurate and relatively simple.

A general framework of constructing C 0 discontinuous Galerkin (CDG) methods is developed for solving the Kirchhoff plate bending problem, following some ideas in (Castillo et al., 2000) [10] and (Cockburn, 2003) [12]. The numerical traces are determined based on a discrete stability identity, which
