The assumed stresses are represented by 18 unknown parameters. An eight-node isoparametric displacement element is implemented in an existing finite element program [10]. Several example problems are solved to compare the results of the hybrid and the displacement elements.vii, 88 leavesapplication/pdfen-USIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1987.T664Finite element methodHybrid computer simulationA comparison of displacement and hybrid stress models for two dimensional finite element analysisThesis
