Abstract
A 4‐node, 12‐d.o.f. plate bending element based on the assumed‐stress hybrid formulation is described. The nine stress fields are derived from the 12‐term, Adini—Clough polynomial and the cubic ‘beam shape functions’ are used for the boundary displacements. The element passes the patch test and is invariant to the coordinate system and the node numbering.
