Approximation of the vibration modes of a plate by Reissner-Mindlin equations

This paper deals with the approximation of the vibration modes of a plate modelled by the Reissner-Mindlin equations. It is well known that, in order to avoid locking, some kind of reduced integration or mixed interpolation has to be used when solving these equations by finite element methods. In pa...
