Abstract The finite element method (FEM) plays a valuable role in computer modeling and is beneficial to the mechanical design of various structural parts. However, the elements produced by conventional FEM are easily inaccurate and unstable when applied. Therefore, developing new elements within the framework of the generalized variational principle is of great significance. In this paper, an 8-node plane hybrid finite element with 15 parameters (PH-Q8-) is developed for structural mechanics problems based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle. According to the design principle of Pian, 15 unknown parameters are adopted in the selection of stress… More >
