The development of a robust and e$cient quadratic Mindlin-plate-bending elements mainly by the use of non-conforming displacement modes is presented in this paper. A brief review on the previous e!orts to develop e$cient non-conforming Mindlin plate bending elements is also given. The behaviour of t

We consider the ยฎnite element (FE) approximation of the ReissnerยฑMindlin (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
## 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
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
