A six-node plate bending element has been developed by employing mixed formulation based on a modified Hellinger--Reissner principle and the Reissner-Mindlin plate bending theory. The numerical result indicates that, among the types of assumed independent transverse shear strains Considered, a combi

## Abstract A stiffness matrix for a finite element having the planform of an annular segment is derived using the displacement approach. Numerical problems involved in the derivation are discussed and rapid convergence to exact solutions is demonstrated on three sample problems. It is concluded th
## Abstract A simple mixed finite element method is developed. The finite element is a rectangular triangle and rectangle. In the element the deflections are assumed to be simple fourβelement polynomials, bending moments, __M__~__x__~ and __M__~__y__~ with a partially linear distribution, and a con
