## Abstract A method of formulating and computing numerically integrated stiffness matrices is presented. Through a better organization of the formulation which is easily achieved by the use of index notation, the computations for integrating and evaluating the element stiffness matrix are substant

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
## Abstract Most finite element (FE) software uses numerical integration to compute FE stiffness matrices. In the case of straightβsided isoparametric triangular elements, numerical integration is exact, provided a sufficient number of integration points are used. In this paper, the same integratio
Conditions under which it is possible to determine exact integrals for stiness matrix entries for a 6-noded isoparametric plane strain element have been investigated. Considerable use has been made of the algebraic manipulation language MAPLE in obtaining the results. It has been shown that exact in
