Abstract
Errors arising in finite-element formulations of continuum problems with multiple field variables due to spurious constraints (the errors of the second kind defined by Prathap and Bhashyam, 1982, and Prathap, 1985) are investigated analytically. A technique based on the addition of an extra stiffness parameter is developed to detect and evaluate the effects of these errors and applied to sample problems involving shear-deformable-beam elements, extensional thin-arch/curved-beam elements, shear-deformable plate-bending elements, and plane-stress modeling of cantilever beams. The results are presented in graphs, and applications to problems with overstraining (such as incompressible fluid flow and incompressible elasticity) are suggested. 13; 13;
