Abstract

A simply‐supported rhombic plate with obtuse angle equal to 150 degrees is analysed by the finite element method, using both the h‐version and the newer p‐version. Results obtained using the computer code CONE (C¹‐continuity) for plate bending problems are compared with theoretical predictions and with computational results reported in the literature. If accuracy in terms of the number of degrees‐of‐freedom is used as a criterion, the solutions presented here are the most efficient that have been published to date.
