A four-node quadrilateral shell element with smoothed membrane-bending based on Mindlin-Reissner theory is proposed. The element is a combination of a plate bending and membrane element. It is based on mixed interpolation where the bending and membrane stiffness matrices are calculated on the bounda

## Abstract Recently, Liu __et al__. proposed the smoothed finite element method by using the nonβmapped shape functions and then introducing the strain smoothing operator when evaluating the element stiffness in the framework of the finite element method. However, the theories and examples by Liu
The complementary finite-element programming method and algorithm for solving finite deformation problems in nonsmooth mechanics are presented. This method provides a dual approach for the numerical solutions of the mixed boundary-value problem governed by nonsmooth physical laws. Application to non
