Tóm tắt

AbstractAn 8‐node brick element based on the assumed stress hybrid formulation is described. With three additional stress fields, the element stiffness matrix now has the required rank of 18, and the ‘bending’ response is exact with rectangular elements. Surprisingly, the 2 × 2 × 2 Gauss rule suffices for all numerical integrations, to satisfy the constant stress patch test.
