four node quad element with one quadrature point
Submitted by vinh phu nguyen on Tue, 2009-12-08 18:04.
Hello all,
Could anyone help me with the four node quadrilateral element with one quadrature point for nonlinear implicit solid mechanics problem? To be more precise, I would like to know
(1) the form of the internal force vector and
(2) the form of the tangent matrix
of this special element.
I read the book of Prof. Belytschko already but unfortunately it didn't help much. Literature on this element is not clear to me. For example in some papers I could find (1) but not (2) and vice versa in other papers :).
Thanks a lot for your time.
Phu
