The Hermes 8 Element for the Matrix Displacement Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
The description of the LUMINA element in T.N. 11 is followed by another three-dimensional interpolation element, called HERMES 8, available in the ASKA language and briefly mentioned in ref. 1. Just as the LUMINA set, the HERMES element represents a general hexahedronal element with curved faces and has proved a most useful component block for three-dimensional analysis of complex bodies. The cardinal idea underlying the HERMES development aims at combining the advantages of the Lagrangian and Hermitian interpolation techniques.
