Plate Finite Element with Physical Shape Functions: Correctness of the Formulation

The formulation of a plate finite element with so called ‘physical’ shape functions is revisited. The derivation of the ‘physical’ shape functions is based on Hencky-Bolle theory of moderately thick plates. The considered finite element was assessed in the past, and the tests showed that the solutio...
