Abstract:
      The formulations of plane rational finite elements with 4 and 5 nodes, which have complete quadratic solutions of plane elasticity, are derived. They pass the patch test and have high accuracy. Zero energy model, shear locking and volume locking do not exist. Numerical examples show the advantages of the elements.
