Abstract
Although C' continuous beam, plate and shell elements have13; become very popular, a simple understanding of several13; diffcultie such as shear locking, parasitic shear, stress13; oscillations etc. is not yet available in the literature. In displasement type finite element formulations, these difficulties can be easily rationaliscd using 'field-consistency' concepts and of these difficulties can quantitative error estimates also be made using an operational procedure called the 'functional re- constitution' technique. In this paper we demonstrate the mechanics of these concepts using the simplest shear: flexible beam element ( linear Timoshenko beam element) as13; exilayle, and verily its apriori projections through digital computations. The rationale behind the use of optimal stress sampliing at Gaussian points is also derived directly from these argurnents.
