Abstract (EN): This paper presents a thin plate element formulated along parallel lines to the general three−dimensional Semiloof shell element. This plate version possesses only one half of the total number of degrees−of−freedom of the shell element and has the advantqage that the formulation of the strains and other terms is very much simplified. The element is first assessed in static situations and then its performance in the solution of eigenvalue problems is considered. Copyright © 1978 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd 10.1002/nme.1620121105
