Summary. We compare the robustness of three different low-order mixed methods that have been proposed for plate-bending problems: the so-called MITC, Arnold-Falk and Arnold-Brezzi elements. We show that for free plates, the asymptotic rate of convergence in the presence of quasiuniform meshes approaches the optimal O(h) for MITC elements as the thickness approaches 0, but only approaches ...
Summary.In this paper, we consider the problem of designing plate-bending elements which are free of shear locking. This phenomenon is known to afflict several elements for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model when the thickness of the plate is small, due to the inability of the approximating subspaces to satisfy the Kirchhoff constraint. To avoid locking, a reduction operator is often applied to the...
