Analysis of the Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin Method with Optimal Test Functions for the Reissner-Mindlin Plate Bending Model

Victor M. Calo, Nathaniel O. Collier, Antti H. Niemi

We analyze the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method with optimal test functions when applied to solve the Reissner-Mindlin model of plate bending. We prove that the hybrid va…
