# Plate Element Basis Functions
# ============================================================================
#
# This file defines basis functions for plate bending elements, which are
# typically NON-CONFORMING (C0 continuity for deflection w, discontinuous
# rotations θx, θy).
#
# These elements are special because:
# 1. Multiple DOF types per node: {w, θx, θy}
# 2. Mixed continuity: w is C0, rotations are discontinuous
# 3. Enforce Kirchhoff constraints (zero transverse shear) via basis construction
# 4. Often use higher-order basis internally (e.g., DKT uses Tri6 internally)
#
# Theory:
# Plate bending theory (Kirchhoff-Love or Mindlin-Reissner)
# Non-conforming finite elements
# Discrete Kirchhoff technique

AbstractPlateBasis <: AbstractBasis
Abstract base type for plate bending element basis functions.
Plate elements have special characteristics:
- **Multiple DOF types per node:** Typically {w, θx, θy} at each node
- **Mixed continuity:** Deflection w is C0, rotations are discontinuous
- **Non-conforming:** Violate strict C1 requirement but converge correctly
- **Constraint-enforcing:** Kirchhoff constraint built into shape functions
# Interface Requirements
In addition to standard `AbstractBasis` interface, plate basis types should implement:
- `ndofs(::AbstractPlateBasis)` - Total number of DOFs (often > nnodes)
- `dof_types(::AbstractPlateBasis)` - Tuple of DOF symbols, e.g., (:w, :θx, :θy)
# Concrete Types
- [`DKT`](@ref) - Discrete Kirchhoff Triangle (3 nodes, 9 DOFs)
- DST - Discrete Shear Triangle (future)
- Morley - Morley triangle (future)
- DKQ - Discrete Kirchhoff Quadrilateral (future)

DKT <: AbstractPlateBasis
Discrete Kirchhoff Triangle - Non-conforming plate bending element.
# Mathematical Properties
**Element Type:** 3-node triangular plate bending element
**DOFs:** 9 total (3 per node)
- Node i: {wᵢ, θxᵢ, θyᵢ}
- wᵢ: Deflection (transverse displacement)
- θxᵢ: Rotation about x-axis (∂w/∂y)
- θyᵢ: Rotation about y-axis (-∂w/∂x)
**Continuity:**
- C0 for deflection w (continuous across element boundaries)
- Discontinuous for rotations θx, θy (non-conforming!)
**Kirchhoff Constraint:**
Zero transverse shear enforced at specific points on each edge:
- γxz = 0 (shear strain in xz plane)
- γyz = 0 (shear strain in yz plane)
**Internal Basis:**
Uses Lagrange{Triangle, 2} (Tri6 quadratic) basis functions internally
to construct the 9 DOF shape functions.
**Convergence:**
Despite being non-conforming (discontinuous rotations), DKT passes the
patch test and converges correctly to the Kirchhoff plate solution.
# Topology Requirements
- **Topology:** Triangle only
- **Nodes:** 3 (vertices of triangle)
- **Integration:** Typically Gauss{2} or Gauss{3}
# DOF Ordering
DOFs are ordered by node, then by type:
```
DOF index: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Node: 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
Type: w θx θy w θx θy w θx θy
```
# Mathematical Background
The DKT element constructs shape functions that satisfy:
1. **Compatibility:** ∑ Nᵢ = 1 (partition of unity)
2. **Interpolation:** wᵢ(xⱼ) = δᵢⱼ for deflection
3. **Kirchhoff constraint:** γxz = γyz = 0 at 2 points per edge (6 total)
The rotations are interpolated using modified shape functions:
- θx = ∑ Hxᵢ θxᵢ
- θy = ∑ Hyᵢ θyᵢ
where Hx and Hy are constructed from Tri6 basis to enforce constraints.

get_basis_functions(::Triangle, ::DKT, xi::Vec{2, T}) where T -> NTuple{9, T}
Evaluate all 9 DKT basis functions at parametric point ξ.
Returns shape function values for 9 DOFs in order:
[N_w1, N_θx1, N_θy1, N_w2, N_θx2, N_θy2, N_w3, N_θx3, N_θy3]
# Algorithm
1. Evaluate Tri6 (quadratic triangle) basis functions internally
2. Construct DKT shape functions using geometric coefficients
3. Return 9 DOF shape functions
# Arguments
- `::Triangle`: Triangle topology (required for dispatch)
- `::DKT`: DKT basis type
- `xi::Vec{2, T}`: Parametric coordinates (ξ, η) in area coordinates
# Returns
- `NTuple{9, T}`: Shape function values for all 9 DOFs
# Notes
The DKT element has a special DOF structure:
- DOFs 1, 4, 7: Deflection w at nodes 1, 2, 3
- DOFs 2, 5, 8: Rotation θx at nodes 1, 2, 3
- DOFs 3, 6, 9: Rotation θy at nodes 1, 2, 3
For assembling plate problems, you typically need:
- N values for mass matrix
- dN values for stiffness matrix (use get_basis_derivatives)

These derivatives are critical for:
