Abstract
in this paper,a generalized conforming element of moderate thick plate is formulated based on Coons' surface.Timoshenko's beam theory is used to interpolate the boundary displacements along each side of the element(Numerical examples illustrate that the present element gives results with high precision and is free of shear locking.
