JeyakarthikeyanA weighted integration route with robust one-point integration (hourglass-controlled) is proposed as efficient, time saving alternative to Gauss quadrature for stiffness matrix of bilinear quadrilaterals. One-point rule relies on sampling at the center of the element to linearize the geometric transformation and average the material property over it. This enables, for a given element, explicit integration of stiffness matrix yielding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 27 Sep 2017 · 8,050 accessesView PDF Cite
