Abstract
Alternate hybrid stress finite element models in which the internal equilibrium equations are satisfied on the average only, while the equilibrium equations along the interelement boundaries and the static boundary conditions are adhered to exactly a priori, are developed. The variational principle and the corresponding finite element formulation, which allows the standard direct stiffness method of structural analysis to be used, are discussed. Triangular elements for a moderately thick plate and a doublyβcurved shallow thin shell are developed. Kinematic displacement modes, convergence criteria and bounds for the direct flexibilityβinfluence coefficient are examined.

In this paper, hybrid variational principles are employed for piezoelectric "nite element formulation. Starting from eight-node hexahedral elements with displacement and electric potential as the nodal d.o.f.s, hybrid models with assumed stress and electric displacement are devised. The assumed stre
## Abstract The existence of optimal points for calculating accurate stresses within finite element models is discussed. A method for locating such points is proposed and applied to several popular finite elements.
