Ruaumoko:
Linear Elastic Hybrid-Stress (Type II) Plane Stress finite element with three
degrees of freedom at each node (local x and y displacements and rotation about
z axis). There is a cubic lateral displacement on each edge (this matches an
adjoining beam or frame member displacement) and a linear longitudinal displacement
on each edge.

1. Linear Elastic Hybrid-Stress (Type II) Plane Stress finite element with three
degrees of freedom at each node (local x and y displacements and rotation about
z axis). There is a cubic lateral displacement on each edge (this matches an
adjoining beam or frame member displacement) and a linear longitudinal displacement
on each edge.
2. Linear Elastic Hybrid-Stress Plate Bending finite element with three degrees of freedom at each node, an out-of-plane displacement and rotations about the two in-plane local axes. A plate shear deformation term may be added in this element.
3. A combination of the above two elements to form a shell finite element with six degrees of freedom at each of the four nodes.
