Smooth finite element methods: Convergence, accuracy and properties

A stabilized conforming nodal integration finite element method based on strain smoothing stabilization is presented. The integration of the stiffness matrix is performed on the boundaries of the finite elements. A rigorous variational framework based on the Hu–Washizu assumed strain variational form is developed.
