Abstract :
In this paper, by employing bivariate cubic C-1 B-splines, a bivariate B-spline finite element method is presented to solve bending problems of rectangular plates. In comparison with analytical solutions, it is found that, for various boundary conditions and different loading conditions, the accuracy of the present numerical method is very satisfactory.
