## 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

The dimensionality of truss, beam, membrane and shell finite elements is often less than that of the global co-ordinate system, and element calculations must be performed in local co-ordinates. Design parameters which affect the nodal co-ordinates in such elements control both the element dimensions
An investigation is conducted on the performance of the curved isoparametric cubic beam element for analysing vibrational behaviour of coil springs. Firstly, the results of full and uniformly reduced integration are compared for three static problems. Uniformly reduced integration is shown to yield
