Composite triangles consisting of four three-node triangles originally proposed by Camacho and Ortiz are studied. It is shown that the original element does not satisfy the BabuΓ ska-Brezzi condition nor pass the patch test. Remedies for these shortcomings are described. It is shown that the resulti

Computer programs are given for calculating the three primitive matrices for tetrahedral finite elements. These may be employed to create finite element representations of arbitrary linear differential operators in three-dimensional spaces. Use of these primitives is recommended for second order ope
This paper considers the solution of problems in three-dimensional solid mechanics using tetrahedral ΓΏnite elements. A formulation based on a mixed-enhanced treatment involving displacement, pressure and volume e ects is presented. The displacement and pressure are used as nodal quantities while vol
