This paper investigates the importance and accuracy of a family of high-order triangular elements. After a brief review of characteristics of high-order triangular elements, six new incompatible 13-node triangular elements are presented. The accuracy of the proposed elements is illustrated by compar
This work is concerned with the numeric sti ness matrices of three-noded triangular plate bending ΓΏnite elements; in particular with those numeric sti ness matrices, which are freedom-deΓΏcient and comply with the conditions of the patch test. Subsequent to initial transformation of the rotation con
This communication presents a simple algorithm to compute the stiffness matrix for a triangular plate bending element, without numerical integration. This brings about a substantial saving in computer time.
## Abstract Based on the mixed shear projected (MiSP) approach [6], an enhanced bending approximation for homogeneous isotropic plates is presented. Some hard benchmark tests, as skew plate (30Β°) problem for instance, have often shown poor convergence when low order elements (3β or 4βnode element)
