## Abstract Recently, Liu __et al__. proposed the smoothed finite element method by using the non‐mapped shape functions and then introducing the strain smoothing operator when evaluating the element stiffness in the framework of the finite element method. However, the theories and examples by Liu
The performance of three different stress recovery procedures, namely, the superconvergent patch recovery technique (SPR), the recovery by equilibrium in patches (REP) and a combined method known as the LP procedure is reviewed. Different order of polynomials and various patch formation strategies h
## Abstract This paper presents theory and examples of partial approximation as a modification of the displacement method in the finite element analysis. This method requires different shape functions for different terms in the potential energy expression to curtail the processes in the standard di
## Abstract Verification of the computation of local quantities of interest, e.g. the displacements at a point, the stresses in a local area and the stress intensity factors at crack tips, plays an important role in improving the structural design for safety. In this paper, the smoothed finite elem
