Development of a “smooth” finite element

A “Smoothed” finite element (SFEM) is developed by introducing modifications to the strain/displacement matrix (otherwise known as the B-matrix) of a 4 node rectangular element. In ANSYS (finite element software), certain smoothing operations are done post priori to reflect better results after solu...
