hp-FEM for three-dimensional elastic plates
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 36 (2002) no. 4, pp. 597-630.

In this work, we analyze hierarchic hp-finite element discretizations of the full, three-dimensional plate problem. Based on two-scale asymptotic expansion of the three-dimensional solution, we give specific mesh design principles for the hp-FEM which allow to resolve the three-dimensional boundary layer profiles at robust, exponential rate. We prove that, as the plate half-thickness ε tends to zero, the hp-discretization is consistent with the three-dimensional solution to any power of ε in the energy norm for the degree p=𝒪(logε) and with 𝒪(p 4 ) degrees of freedom.
