Description A general finite element formulation for plate bending problem based on a higher-order displacement model and a three-dimensional state of stress and strain is attempted. The theory incorporates linear and quadratic variations of transverse normal strain and transverse shearing strains and stresses respectively through the thickness of the plate. The 9-noded quadrilateral from the family of two dimensional C° continuous isoparametric elements is then introduced and its performance is evaluated for a wide range of plates under uniformly distributed load and with different support conditions and ranging from very thick to extremely thin situations. The effect of full, reduced and selective integration schemes on the final numerical result is examined. The behaviour of this element with the present formulation is seen to be excellent under all the three integration schemes.
