We consider the ®nite element (FE) approximation of the Reissner±Mindlin (RM) plate model, and indicate how to design meshes that yield accurate results when the p/hp version of the standard FE method is used. These guidelines allow quantities of engineering interest to be predicted numerically with

Based on the Helmholtz decomposition of the transverse shear strain, Brezzi and Fortin in [7] introduced a three-stage algorithm for approximating the Reissner-Mindlin plate model with clamped boundary conditions and established uniform error estimates in the plate thickness. The first and third sta
We investigate a new rectangular element for the Reissner-Mindlin model based on the primitive variable system. Nonconforming rotated Q1 element is used to approximate the transverse displacement, and the biquadratic element is used for the rotation. A convergent error estimate is obtained, which is
An analysis of a triangular mixed finite element method, proposed by Taylor and Auricchio (cf. [ 131) is presented. The method is based on a linked interpolation between deflections and rotations in order to avoid the locking phenomenon (cf. [ 151). The analysis shows that the approximated deflectio
