A family of new 4-noded membrane elements with drilling degrees of freedom and unsymmetric assumed stresses is presented; it is derived from a mixed variational principle originally formulated for finite strain analysis and already used in the literature to develop a purely kinematic membrane model. The performance of these elements, investigated through some well established benchmark problems, is found to be fairly good and their accuracy is comparable with that given by models with a larger number of nodal parameters.

Abstract
A family of new 4-noded membrane elements with drilling degrees of freedom and unsymmetric assumed stresses is presented; it is derived from a mixed variational principle originally formulated for finite strain analysis and already used in the literature to develop a purely kinematic membrane model. The performance of these elements, investigated through some well established benchmark problems, is found to be fairly good and their accuracy is comparable with that given by models with a larger number of nodal parameters.File in questo prodotto:
