Abstract
A quadrilateral 2‐D finite element for linear and non‐linear analysis of solids is presented. The element is based on the technique of mixed interpolation of tensorial components. It is shown that the new element is reliable and efficient, being apt, therefore, to be used in routine engineering applications.
