Edge displacement of assumed‐stress hybrid plate elements are commonly chosen as either linear, quadratic or cubic functions of the edge co‐ordinate. The present paper examines the effect of this choice on the acceptability, accuracy, and possible zero energy modes of elements based on a linear stress field. It is concluded that triangular elements may be preferable to quadrilaterals, and that linear edge displacements are not desirable.
