Abstract:SUMMARYThree sector elements, two for plane stress problems (PSL and PSN) and one for plate bending problems (BSN), have been developed. Of the three elements, two are based on the natural mode technique. The elements have been applied to typical problems to test their performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
