In this work, we analyze hierarchic hp-finite element discretizations of the full, three-dimensional
plate problem. Based on two-scale asymptotic expansion of the three-dimensional solution, we give
specific mesh design principles for the hp-FEM which allow to resolve the three-dimensional boundary
layer profiles at robust, exponential rate.
We prove that, as the plate half-thickness ε tends to zero, the hp-discretization is consistent
with the three-dimensional solution to any power of ε in the energy norm for the degree
and with
degrees of freedom.
