Three Additional Elements for the Finite Element Program FINEL.

Abstract

Three additional elements have been added to the element library of the FINEL finite element program: a rectangular membrane element, a rectangular combined membrane and bending element, and a triangular combined membrane and bending element. This report describes the characteristics of the three new elements and includes data on the bending convergence behavior of the combined elements. The stiffness matrices of the three elements are presented in the appendix. (Author)
