Abstract

A new class of finite elements for the Reissner--Mindlin plate problem is presented. The family is based on a modified mixed formulation recently introduced by Arnold and Brezzi [Boundary Value Problems for Partial Differential Equations and Applications, J. L. Lions and C. Baiocchi, eds., Masson, Paris, 1993]. A result of stability and convergence uniformly in the thickness is provided.
