Isoparametric quadrilateral elements are widely used in the finite element method, but the accuracy of the isoparametric quadrilateral elements will drop obviously deteriorate due to mesh distortions. Spline functions have some properties of simplicity and conformality. Two 8-node quadrilateral elements have been developed using the trian- gular area coordinates and the b-net method, which can ex- actly model the quadratic field for both convex and concave quadrangles. Some appropriate examples are employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed elements. The nu- merical results show that the two spline elements can obtain solutions which are highly accurate and insensitive to mesh distortions.

The triangular prism elements are often used in finite element method combined with hexahedral elements to dealing with 3D problems. However, the traditional prism elements based on isoparametric transformation are sensitive to the mesh distortion with accuracy loss for some cases. In this paper, we present a 3D triangular prism spline element with 15 nodes (denoted by TPS15) corresponding to 15 interpolation bases. Different from the isoparametric transformation, these interpolation bases are constructed based on the tetrahedral volume coordinates and the b-net method for spline functions. Theoretically, the triangular prism spline element can achieve the second order completeness in the Cartesian coordinates. We test the TPS15 element by some numerical examples, including that mixed with the hexahedral element. Compared with the isoparametric Serendipity elements, the numerical results show that the spline elements have better accuracy in most cases, especially for the distorted meshes.
Severe accuracy loss will be caused on the occasion of mesh distortions and the calculation will even fail to be finished when the element becomes concave. This is a problem worth researching in finite element method....

Severe accuracy loss will be caused on the occasion of mesh distortions and the calculation will even fail to be finished when the element becomes concave. This is a problem worth researching in finite element method. In this study, a novel concave-admissible quadrilateral plane element is developed within the framework of assumed displacement quasi-conforming finite element method. The b-net method is used for calculation of area integral items and gives results with high precision within convex and even concave quadrangles. Analysis shows the presented element can represent exactly displacement fields with second order polynomial terms in the Cartesian coordinates. Numerical results and comparisons with existing elements show that present element exhibit a remarkable insensitivity with extreme mesh distortions, as well as good accuracy.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of spline spaces with mixed orders of continuity over T-meshes. Then, the dimensions of the cubic spline spaces with continuity of order one and locally discontinuous over hierarchical T-meshes are presented by the b-net method. From the viewpoint of processing geometry data, a non-negative basis set with local support and partition of unity is constructed. Finally, the behavior of this type of spline is analyzed with the help of examples in image processing and finite element analysis. (C) 2014 Elsevier b.V. All rights reserved.

based on the tetrahedral volume coordinates and the b-net method, a 3D hexahedral spline element with 21 nodes is proposed, which includes an internal node and achieves the second order completeness in the Cartesian coordinates. Some numerical examples are employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed element. The numerical results show that the 21-node element has much better performance than that of the isoparametric 20-node Serendipity element especially for the distorted meshes, and it is comparable to the 27-node Lagrange element. It has also been demonstrated that the spline finite element method is an efficient tool for developing high accuracy elements. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

by the Mindlin/Reissner plate theory, the displacement omega and rotations theta(x), theta(y) are interpolated by independent functions, for which only C-0 continuity condition is required. The difficulty for constructing interpolation bases on the quadrilateral element without isoparametric transformation can be overcome by using the spline method. In this paper, two sets of spline interpolation bases are adopted to construct two quadrilateral spline Mindlin plate elements (QSMP1 and QSMP2) with 12 degrees of freedom. The spline elements can be applied for both thick and thin plates, and can converge for the very thin case. Numerical examples are discussed to show that the Mindlin plate element combined with the spline interpolation bases can possess good accuracy. (C) 2017 Elsevier b.V. All rights reserved.
