Data

In this example, the entire plate is considered. Thus, the thinness ratio is equal to *l*/2*t* = 1.57075 × 10−2/0.03 × 10−2. The discretization parameters of the coarse initial mesh, i.e., the element longitudinal and transverse approximation orders and the element size, are *p* = 1, *q* = 2, and *h* = *l*/2, respectively. These parameters can be seen in Figure 15. The data for the error analysis are assumed as: the admissible target error *γT* = 0.02 and the ratio of the admissible intermediate to admissible target errors *γI*/*γT* = 3.
