Isoparametric elements are only valid if the Jacobian determinant of the transformation between a given element and a master element does not change sign within or on the element boundary. Some algorithms are known which analyse Jacobians for various element types. Some necessary conditions are pres

In this paper the superconvergence property of isoparametric bilinear finite elements is considered. A new superconvergence recovery method for isoparametric bilinear finite elements is discovered on the four vertices and the four midpoints of the edges of the elements for piecewise strongly regular
## Abstract The development of a generalized quadrilateral finite element that includes a singular point at a corner node is presented. Interβelement conformability is maintained so that monotone convergence is preserved. The globalβlocal concept of finite elements is used to formulate the complete
## Abstract We study the accuracy and reliability of the lowestβorder bilinear shell finite element schemes. Our approach is based mainly on a simplified shallow shell model analogous to the ReissnerβMindlin model of plate bending. The numerical models are constructed by modifying the strain expres
