Question: ( 3 . 4 ) The weak form for a 2 - dimensional Kirchhoff ( classical ) plate is given by the following expression: A

(3.4) The weak form for a 2-dimensional Kirchhoff (classical) plate is given by the following expression:
A(:[w,,w,yy,w,xy]:)Db{[w,],[w,yy],[w,xy]}dA=A(w)pdA
in which p(x,y) is the distributed load and the matrix Db is a constant matrix containing the material parameters. What is the regularity/smoothness of an admissible finite element approximation for this problem? Suggest an element that satisfies these requirements (how many nodes, what order polynomial(s), what nodal DOF's).
