โฆ Synopsis
The numerical simulation of processes undergoing finite deformations requires robust elements. For a broad range of applications these elements should have a good performance in bending dominated situations as well as in the case of incompressibility. The element should be insensitive against mesh distortions which frequently occurs during finite deformations. Furthermore, due to efficiency reasons a good coarse mesh accuracy in required in non-linear analysis. The QS6 element, developed in this paper, tries to fulfil the above-mentioned requirements. The performance is depicted by means of numerical examples.

For the stress analysis of planar deformable bodies, we usually refer to either plane stress or plane strain hypothesis. Three-dimensional analysis is required when neither hypothesis is applicable, e.g. bodies with finite thickness. In this paper, we derive an 'exact' solution for the plane stress
A two-dimensional ยฎnite element method is developed for large deformation plasticity. Principal axes are used for the description of the material behaviour, and the use of principal logarithmic stretches leads to exact formulae for ยฎnite deformation problems with large elastic and plastic strains.
