A higher order triangular plate finite element using Airy functions

The present paper describes the formulation of a new moderately thick plate bending triangular finite element based on Mindlin–Reissner plate theory. It is called a Great Triangular Moderately Thick Plate Finite Element, or GTMTPFE. The formulation is based on the strain approach, on solution of Air...
