“…Herrmann implemented one of the first mixed plate FEM using this RMVT and taking shear phenomenons into consideration (Herrmann, 1965(Herrmann, , 1967, quickly followed by other researchers (Bron and Dhatt, 1972;Chatterjee and Setlur, 1972). Over the last forty years, many mixed FEMs have been implemented for different theory such as 3D problems (Pian et al, 1983), elastic arches problems (Gellert and Laursen, 1976), Timoshenko's beams Belytschko, 1986a, 1986b) and of course particularly for plates Belytschko, 1986a, 1986b;Duan et al, 1999;de Miranda and Ubertini, 2006;Saleeb and Chang, 1987). Wriggers' book (Wriggers and Cartsensen, 2009) provides a wide range of application for mixed FEM.…”
