Rectangular bar and no-bar finite elements for three dimensional stress analysis

A three dimensional bar cell in the form of a rectangular parallelopiped capable of imitating the action of elastic bodies of any value of Poisson's ratio is devised for three dimensional stress analysis by the finite element method and the stiffness matrix of the cell is derived. Furthermore a...
