Notes:
A 12-DOF quadrilateral element for plate bending is formulated based on the concept of generalized compatibility and semi-Loof constraints. The element DOFs are defined with the conventional displacements at corner nodes and the semi-Loof constraints are used in the formulation. This element is a generalized conforming one which passes Irons' patch test and can be used to solve problems with complicated boundaries. When overall considerations of simplicity, accuracy and reliability are taken into account, this new element is one of the best 12-DOF quadrilateral plate-bending elements currently available.
