Abstract

In this paper, the MITC finite element methods for the Reissner–Mindlin plate bending problem are considered. A superconvergence result for the deflection is proved. Utilizing this property a local postprocessing is introduced and analyzed. The improved accuracy of the deflection is confirmed by numerical computations.
