  This paper presents the Finite Element Method for Cosserat plates. The
mathematical model for Cosserat elastic plates is based on the calculation of
the optimal value of the splitting parameter. We discuss the existence and
uniqueness of the weak solution and the convergence of the proposed FEM. The
Finite Element analysis of the clamped Cosserat plates of different shapes
under different loads is provided. We present the numerical validation of the
proposed FEM by estimating the order of convergence, when comparing the main
kinematic variables with the analytical solution. We also consider the
numerical analysis of plates with circular holes. We show that as expected the
stress concentration factor around the hole is smaller than the classical value
and smaller holes exhibit less stress concentration compared to larger ones.
