This Trig3-RPIM element employs hybrid shape functions that combine the shape functions of three-node triangular element （Trig3） and radial-polynomial basis functions for the purpose of synergizing the merits of both finite element method and meshfree method. Although Trig3-RPIM element is capable of obtaining higher accuracy and convergence rate than the Trig3 element and four-node iso-parametric quadrilateral element without adding extra nodes or degrees of freedom （DOFs）, the nodal stress field through Trig3-RP1M element is not continuous and extra stress smooth operations are still needed in the post processing stage. To further improve the property of Trig3-RPIM element, a new PU-based triangular element with continuous nodal stress, called Trig3-RPIMcns, is developed. Numerical examples including several linear, free vibration and forced vibration test problems, have confirmed the correctness and feasibility of the proposed Trig3-RPIMcns element.展开更多
