Abstract
The mixed finite element formulation using the Galerkin method is developed for the small deflection of a plate. This equation requires only linear shape functions to give compatibility. Furthermore only two degrees of freedom per node are needed. Hence, the formulated equation has several advantages compared with other methods.
