Abstract: The so-called enhanced strain finite elements are based on the enrichment of the standard compatible strain field by the introduction of additional, non-compatible strains. This class of elements can be derived starting from a partial Hu–Washizu variational principle. However, since in the original enhanced strain formulation the stress field is eliminated from the formulation, a separate least-squares procedure had to be implemented for a variational derivation of the stress field. A three-field generalized variable approach incorporating strain enhancement is proposed in the present paper within the context of linear elastic structural problems. It is shown how the original two-field enhanced strain method can be naturally recovered by suitably choosing the strain model. For this case a straightforward, but still variationally consistent stress recovery is proposed. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
