Title: State-of-the-art development of hybrid/mixed finite element method
Abstract: A brief review of multifield variational principles for the formulation of finite element methods in solid mechanics and an account of the evolution of hybrid/mixed finite element methods are presented first. Discussions of recent applications of the hybrid/mixed finite element methods include: (1) formulation of Loof and semi-Loof elements, (2) special elements based on a priori satisfaction of equilibrium and compatibility conditions, (3) analysis of heterogeneous materials with randomly distributed microstructures and (4) finite element and 3-D finite strip analyses of free edge problems in laminated composites.
