Kirchoff Plate Element Stiffness Matrix and Degrees of Freedom

Hello,

I came across the Kirchoff Plate stiffness matrix below online but I'm uncertain of the credibility of the source and would like to verify it with a textbook reference. Can anyone point me to any such references? I also have not seen any diagrams indicating the orientation of or labelling the 12 degrees of freedom for the plate. I would therefore be grateful if such an image can be provided. Thank you in advance for your assistance on these two matters.

Regards,
Jovon
