Abstract

 The BCIZ element is the most common triangular plate bending elements with nine DOF. It is hard to say that the element has sufficient performance when the number of element mesh is small. The basis functions for the triangular elements include functions that can be selected appropriately. A higher-order function terms similar to these functions is added to improve element performance. The solution obtained from the developed element was compared with solutions obtained from the conventional elements, and it was proved that the element exhibited high performance.
