Abstract
In this paper, the merits of both the generalized conforming element a nd the semiLoof element are utilized to establish nine-DOF triangular and 12-DOF rectangular thin-plate bending elements. The element DOFs a re defined with the conventional displacements at comer nodes and the semiLoof constraints are used in the formulation. By using the concept of a generalized conforming element, these elements can pass Irons' p atch test and accurate results are obtained with a much lower computat ional effort.
