Table 1.

Element DOFs and quadrature rules employed in numerical integration of residuals and tangents.

Element DOFs Quadrature rule
Q1 8 DOFs 2 × 2 × 2 = 8-point
Q1NC 8 DOFs + 3 IMs 2 × 2 × 2 = 8-point
Q2 27 DOFs 3 × 3 × 3 = 27-point

DOFs, degrees of freedom; NC, incompatible mode (internal variable).
