Sj. Zheng et Wj. Chen, GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR GENERALIZED HYBRID ELEMENT AND REFINED ELEMENT METHOD OF NON-CONFORMING MODES, Acta Mechanica Sinica, 11(2), 1995, pp. 178-185
A generalized hybrid method of non-conforming modes based on a non-lin
ear generalized variational principles with relaxed interelement conti
nuity requirements, is developed, and the plane quadrilateral geometri
cally non-linear element is presented, furthermore, non-linear refined
element method is devised by orthogonal approach. It is shown that th
e refined element can improve the computational accuracy for non-confo
rming modes.
