A finite element displacement formulation with the shear deformation capability for the axisymmetric bending analysis of circular plates is presented. The displacement field is expressed in terms of interpolation functions which are exact solutions to Mindlin’s governing plate equations. Numerical results for some representative example problems are also presented to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method.
