Abstract
New finite strips are developed for the analysis of plates. Based on Reissner's plate theory, the effect of shear deformation is included in the formulation. To eliminate artificial hardening, the shape functions for the strips are so chosen that there is no mismatched term along the interpolation functions for the interpolation parameters. Numerical examples are reported to demonstrate that the strips can work equally well in thick as well as thin plates.
