A quadrilateral membrane finite element with drilling degrees of freedom is derived from variational principles employing an independent rotation field. Both displacement based and mixed approaches are investigated. The element exhibits excellent accuracy characteristics. When combined with a plate

A set of three new hybrid elements with rotational degrees-of-freedom (d.o.f.'s) is introduced. The solid, 8node, hexahedron element is dcveloped for solving three-dimensional elasticity problems. This element has three translational and three rotational d.o.f.'s at each node and is based on a 42-pa
Three sets of enhanced strain functions are considered for the improvement of the three-node triangular ®nite element with rotational degrees of freedom. In each case, four enhanced strain terms are used. The four unknowns associated with the enhanced strain terms can be eliminated by static condens
