✦ Synopsis
A curved triangular element is presented for thin Kirchhoff plates. A mixed, two-field formulation is used, based upon the Marcus decomposition, in which the familiar biharmonic equation is supplanted by a pair of coupled Poisson-type equations. Several examples of simply supported plates are given to illustrate the behaviour of this new formulation.
