In this note, we make a few comments concerning the paper of Hughes and Akin (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng., 15, 733-751 (1980)). Our primary goal is to demonstrate that the rate of convergence of numerical solutions of the ΓΏnite element method with singular basis functions depends upon the location o

## 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 "rst remark of this paper is to disclose a historical fact that the assumed stress hybrid "nite element method pioneered by Pian [1] in 1964 was actually developed originally based on the Hellinger}Reissner principle and not on the complementary energy principle as indicated in the published pap
