Notes:
A new approach for choosing the stress terms for a hybrid stress element is based on the condition of vanishing of the virtual work along the element boundary due to the stress terms higher than constant and the additional incompatible displacement. Examples using 4-node plane stress elements have shown that when the incompatible displacements also satisfy the constant strain patch test the resulting elements will provide the most accurate solutions. Advantages of this approach for the formulation of an axisymmetric solid are also indicated.
