The variational formulation and computational aspects of a three-dimensional finite-strain
rod model, considered in Part I, are presented. A particular parametrization is employed that …

The motivation for the research reviewed in this paper was provided by studies such as
indicated in Fig. l (a) which show some results obtained with the widely used 9-node …

So-called assumed strain methods are based on the a-priori assumption of an interpolation
for the discrete gradient operator, not necessarily derivable from the displacement …

Since 1960s, how to develop high‐performance plate bending finite elements based on
different plate theories has attracted a great deal of attention from finite element researchers …

A systematic procedure is presented that may be used to extend the capabilities of an
existing linear finite element to accomodate finite rotation analysis. This procedure is a …

A displacement methodology for Mindlin elements, recently employed in the development of
an efficient, four-node quadrilateral (MIN4), is the basis for a three-node, explicitly integrated …

This paper deals with the formulation and the evaluation of a new three node, nine dof
triangular plate bending element valid for the analysis of thick to thin plates. The formulation …

A one-point quadrature element is developed for shells which overcomes two drawbacks of
a similar element developed previously by the senior author and co-workers. The kinematics …

A multiple-quadrature underintegrated hexahedral finite element, which is free of volumetric
and shear locking, and has no spurious singular modes, is described and implemented for …

Continuous and discrete approaches for forming simulations of textile performs both involve
difficulties and drawbacks. The semi-discrete method is an alternative based on a meso …
