Abstract

A family of finite elements of type p for plate bending problems is introduced. The elements are conforming, that is, the approximation spaces satisfy the C 1-continuity condition, and hierarchic, that is, when the degree of the polynomials is increased new shape functions are added to the previous ones. Several plate bending problems have been solved. The related numerical results are presented together with a description of the features of the finite elements.
