Abstract
A simple formulation of membrane finite elements with drilling degrees of freedom is presented. Elements based on this theory have been prov ed to converge and this is confirmed by numerical calculations. The in compatible modes approach is incorporated in the formulation to develo p extremely accurate four-node elements with drilling degrees of freed om.
