Exact conic section arc elements in 2D and 2.5D FEM using a coordinate transformation

Abstract This study introduces the conic section arc elements in 2D and 2.5D finite element method (FEM). Elements are obtained by deforming an edge in a standard triangular element through a coordinate transformation. This allows to completely eliminate the geometrical error in structures composed...
