A simply‐supported rhombic plate with obtuse angle equal to 150 degrees is analysed by the finite element method, using both the h ‐version and the newer p ‐version. Results obtained using the computer code CONE ( C 1 ‐continuity) for plate bending problems are compared with theoretical predictions and with computational results reported in the literature. If accuracy in terms of the number of degrees‐of‐freedom is used as a criterion, the solutions presented here are the most efficient that have been published to date.
