• Kirchhoff plate
• adaptivity
• second-order theory

We present a discontinuous finite element method for the Kirchhoff plate model with membrane stresses. The method is based on P(2)-approximations on simplices for the out-of-plane deformations, using C(0)-continuous approximations. We derive a posteriori error estimates for linear functionals of the error and give some numerical examples.
