摘要

A finite element method is proposed and analyzed for the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem subject to various boundary conditions. Rotation and transverse displacement variables are approximated by continuous linear elements (enriched with local bubbles) and an L-2 projector is applied to the shear energy term onto the Raviart-Thomas H(div; Omega) finite element. Stability and optimal error bounds hold uniformly in the plate thickness.
