    • A MINI element over star convex polytopes 
      Francis, Amrita; Ortiz Bernardín, Alejandro; Bordas, Stéphane; Natarajan, Sundararajan (Elsevier, 2020)
      In this paper, we extend the concept of MINI element over triangles to star convex arbitrary polytopes. This is achieved by employing the volume averaged nodal projection (VANP) method over polytopes in combination with ...
    • A new locking-free polygonal plate element for thin and thick plates based on Reissner-Mindlin plate theory ... 
      Videla, Javier A.; Natarajan, Sundararajan; Bordas, Stéphane P. A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
      A new n-noded polygonal plate element is proposed for the analysis of plate structures comprising of thin and thick members. The formulation is based on the discrete Kirchhoff Mindlin theory. On each side of the polygonal ...
    • A one point integration rule over star convex polytopes 
      Francis, Amrita; Natarajan, Sundararajan; Atroshchenko, Elena; Lévy, Bruno; Bordas, Stéphane P. A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
      In this paper, the recently proposed linearly consistent one point integration rule for the meshfree methods is extended to arbitrary polytopes. The salient feature of the proposed technique is that it requires only one ...
