Basic And Shape Sensitivity Tests For Membrane And Plate Bending Finite Elements

Benchmarks for element performance and shape sensitivity.

Basic element tests:

• single element completeness tests for membranes
• patch test for an assemblage of membrane elements
• false zero energy mode tests for membrane elements
• invariance tests for membrane elements
• shape sensitivity tests for membrane elements
• single element completeness tests for plate elements
• patch test for an assemblage of plate bending elements
• false zero energy mode tests for plate elements
• invariance tests for plate elements
• shape sensitivity tests for plate elements
