5) How to increase the accuracy of the element?
1) In principle of virtual work, the virtual displacements are assumed as small ( ). 2) The stiffness matrices of truss bar element, beam element and plane frame element are all symmetric ( ). 3) We can drop the constant term since it has no contribution to the strain energy ( ). 4) The generalized displacements can include both direct displacement and rotational displacement ( ). 5) The inverse of the element stiffness matrix, [*], always exist ().
