Formulation and numerical evaluation of a novel four-node quadrilateral element with continuous nodal stress (Q4-CNS) are presented. Q4-CNS can be regarded as an improved hybrid FE-meshless four-node quadrilateral element (FE-LSPIM QUAD4), which is a hybrid FE-meshless method. Derivatives of Q4-CNS are continuous at nodes, so the continuous nodal stress can be obtained without any smoothing operation...
