title = "A New Accurate yet Simple Shear Flexible Triangular Plate Element with Linear Bending Strains",
abstract = "The paper describes a new shear flexible triangular element. The formulation is based on displacement interpolation of the transverse displacement of the midsurface and the rotations of the cross-sections, and the element is fully compatible. The basic principle is to use a so-called balanced interpolation so that the part of the shear strains that relates to the transverse displacement has the same polynomial variation as the part of the shear strains that relates to the rotations of the cross-section. This balanced interpolation in combination with complete polynomial interpolations prevents shear locking, which otherwise has to be eliminated by remedies as reduced or selective integration. The element has been tested in different ways and the convergence rate and accuracy are good. By introducing a small incompatibility the degrees of freedom can be reduced from 22 to 18 and the results are virtually the same. The slightly incompatible formulation can be implemented directly into commercial codes.",
