Abstract

The basic idea of quasi-conforming method is that the strain-dis- placement equations are weakened as well as the equilibrium equations. In this paper, an 18-DOF triangular element for couple stress theory is proposed within the framework of quasi-conforming technique. The formulation starts from truncated Taylor expansion of strains and appropriate interpolation functions are chosen to calculate strain integration. This element satisfies C0 continuity with second order accuracy and weak C1 continuity simultaneously. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed model can pass the C0
