Abstract
Most previously derived plane stress finite elements cannot be connected with line elements in bending. This difficulty is overcome by devising a new element which has rotational degrees of freedom at the node points. Application to analysis of simple shear wall problems with a single row of openings illustrates the method and comparison of results with other solutions demonstrates its validity. A study of the behavior of the new element in comparison with results for a more conventional element shows: (1) For the same number of elements, the accuracy of estimation of deflection is increased and (2) the ratio of length to breadth of the elements has a less significant effect on the results.
