Abstract
We present a continuous-discontinuous finite element method for the Mindlin–Reissner plate model based on continuous polynomials of degree k ⩾ 2 for the transverse displacements and discontinuous polynomials of degree k − 1 for the rotations. We prove a priori convergence estimates, uniformly in the thickness of the plate, and thus show that locking is avoided. We also derive a posteriori error estimates based on duality, together with corresponding adaptive procedures for controlling linear functionals of the error. Finally, we present some numerical results.
