A Conforming Triangular Plane Element with Rotational Degrees of Freedom

This paper presents a novel way to formulate the triangular plane element with rotational degrees of freedom (RDOF). The linear distribution of rotational displacement is assumed. The conforming displacement along the sides based on the rotational displacement assumption is derived, and the triangul...
