Notes:
The paper is an attempt to unify the finite element methods of ‘first’ order in plate stretching and plate bending, i.e. those assuming in each element constant strains in stretching or constant moments in bending. Reference is made to the stretching-bending analogy between the method of Turner, Clough, Martin and Topp and the method of Elias. By another analogy property a plate stretching method which is the dual to the constant moment method of Herrmann (and Hellan) is derived. The transformation of variables which carries the last pair of dual methods identically into the first pair is finally demonstrated.
