Abstract
A plane hybrid stress element is developed from the
Hellinger-Reissner principle with the capabilities of
predicting 3D displacement and stress fields in problems
where the geometry, loading and constraints are symmetric
about the middle plane. This element has the potential to
model structural components that are moderately thick where
the classical plane stress and plane strain assumptions fail.
The element is also capable of meeting traction free
conditions on lateral planes that are perpendicular to the axis
passing through the thickness direction. Comparison of the
results predicted by this element with a 3D analysis has
proved the accuracy of the element.
