| Abstract: | The finite element method entails several approximations. Hence it is essential to subject all new finite elements to an adequate
set of pathological tests in order to assess their performance. Many such tests have been proposed by researchers from time
to time. We present an adequate set of tests, which every new finite element should pass. A thorough account of the patch
test is also included in view of its significance in the validation of new elements. |
