The locations of optimal stress points in Lagrangian and serendipity elements are determined by using the symbolic mathematical tool MATHEMATICA # . It is found that, for the Lagrange family of elements of order more than two, the co-ordinates of optimal stress points slightly dier from those of the
## Abstract This paper reports the use of polynomial wavelets as approximation functions in hybrid‐mixed stress finite element models applied to the solution of plane elasticity problems. The stress and displacement fields in the domain and the displacements on the static boundary are independently

The reconciliation of finite element (FE) analysis with vibration test data is a field of research which has generated considerable interest over the past decade. However, the intermediate, and perhaps most crucial phase of locating modelling errors has received relatively little attention. This pap
