Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the least-squares based finite element models in solving the beam bending problems to overcome shear and membrane locking and predict generalized forces accurately. This study is conducted using the Euler Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories applied to straight beams. The solution accuracy of the least-squares finite element models with conventional finite element models is also assessed.
