| Summary: | This present paper has a complete and homogeneous
presentation of plane stress and plane strain problems
using the Strong Formulation Finite Element Method
(SFEM). In particular, a greater emphasis is given to the
numerical implementation of the governing and boundary
conditions of the partial differential system of equations.
The paper’s focus is on numerical stability and accuracy
related to elastostatic and elastodynamic problems.
In the engineering literature, results are mainly reported
for isotropic and homogeneous structures. In this paper, a
composite structure is investigated. The SFEM solution is
compared to the ones obtained using commercial finite element
codes. Generally, the SFEM observes fast accuracy
and all the results are in very good agreement with the
ones presented in literature.
