β¦ Synopsis
Elastic wave propagation in a two-dimensional grid of finite elements having uniform size is investigated. Only bilinear finite elements of rectangular shape are considered. However, the elastic wave is assumed to propagate in an arbitrary direction. Numerical calculations are made to find out the representability of finite elements and the suitability of the lumped masses formulation.

A plane standing wave solution is obtained for homogeneous, isotropic, incompressible nonlinearly elastic solids. The motion describes the nonlinear interaction of two oppositely propagating, circularly polarized waves. It is used to obtain exact steady state solutions for nonlinear vibrations of a
## Abstract Studies of the convergence and performance of the mixed finite element method in plane elasticity are reported. A completeness criterion is proposed, and convergence rates for stresses and strain energy, as predicted elsewhere, are quoted. An eigenvalue analysis of the mixed element mat
In this paper, the results of part I of this study are applied to the 4-node bilinear element. The trial functions for different fields are defined consistently with the a-priori conditions established, the rate problem is generalized to cover finite loading steps and the solution strategy is presen
