The Earthquake Engineering Online ArchiveRecent Developments in the Formulation of Assumed Enhanced Strain Finite Elements for Finite Deformation ProblemsGlaser, Steven D.; Armero, Francisco UCB/SEMM-1995/13, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, 1995-12, 30 pages (500 C23 95-13) Presents two methodological advances obtained in the development of enhanced strain finite elements for finite deformation problems. Both modifications to existing deformation gradient strategy lead to significant improvements in the performance of problems involving high compressive stresses.
