18 Conclusions With node-dependent kinematic plate elements adopting HLE as shape functions: 1 FEM models with variable LW/ESL nodal capabilities can be conveniently constructed; 2 Local kinematic refinement can be carried out without modifying the mesh neither using any ad hoc coupling method; 3 With sufficiently high polynomial degree p, 2D elements adopting HLE can achieve comparable accuracy with fewer computational resources compared with pure h-version refinement; 4 Node-dependent kinematics can help to further reduce the computational consumption when the structure undergoes strong local effects; 5 Such an approach is ideal for global-local analysis.
