ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the Finite Element Method for Cosserat Plates. It consists of the classic Galerkin finite element for the elliptic system of nine partial differential equations and the energy minimization procedure for the calculation of the optimal value of the splitting parameter. We discuss the weak formulation of the bending problem and present the results of the Finite Element computations for the clamped Cosserat plates of different shapes under different loads.
