N. Nataraj et al., ON A MIXED-HYBRID FINITE-ELEMENT METHOD FOR ANISOTROPIC PLATE-BENDINGPROBLEMS, International journal for numerical methods in engineering, 39(23), 1996, pp. 4063-4089
The paper deals with a new mixed-hybrid finite element method for anis
otropic elastic plate bending problems, which gives a simultaneous app
roximation to bending and twisting moment tensor and deflection fields
in the interior of each triangle and traces of the displacement field
and its normal derivative on sides of each triangle. Efficient comput
er implementation procedures for this mixed-hybrid scheme have been de
veloped. Results of numerical experiments on different anisotropic pla
tes of practical and research interest are given.
