Abstract
This study introduces the Strain-based Rectangular Quadrilateral In-plane Element (SBRQIE), a newly developed membrane element designed for structural analysis applications, including static and free vibration scenarios. The SBRQIE incorporates three degrees of freedom per node—two translational and one rotational—enhancing flexibility and accuracy. Comparative analyses with established finite elements demonstrate the superior performance of the SBRQIE across various configurations, including rectangular, parallelogram, and trapezoidal meshes. The results confirm exceptional accuracy in deflection and frequency predictions, robust convergence with mesh refinement, and resilience against mesh distortions. The SBRQIE element’s efficiency in handling complex geometries, irregular meshes, and diverse boundary conditions establishes it as a reliable computational tool for advanced structural analysis.
期刊介绍：
The Asian Journal of Civil Engineering (Building and Housing) welcomes articles and research contributions on topics such as:- Structural analysis and design - Earthquake and structural engineering - New building materials and concrete technology - Sustainable building and energy conservation - Housing and planning - Construction management - Optimal design of structuresPlease note that the journal will not accept papers in the area of hydraulic or geotechnical engineering, traffic/transportation or road making engineering, and on materials relevant to non-structural buildings, e.g. materials for road making and asphalt. Although the journal will publish authoritative papers on theoretical and experimental research works and advanced applications, it may also feature, when appropriate: a) tutorial survey type papers reviewing some fields of civil engineering; b) short communications and research notes; c) book reviews and conference announcements.
