My question is how to increase the continuity of displacements in case of truss or plane elements.
For example from C0 continuity to C1.Is this possible?
You can increase the order of the lagrange element, but this step still leads to C0 continuity because the functions space is higher order inside element but C0 between elements.
Technically you can enforce high order continuity by usinghigh order elements (Hermite polynomials for beams) or by isogeometric formulation or by discontinous galerking with weakly enforced continuity.
I support the above answer. In real life, there is no C1 continuity between trussses as they hinge about each other hence I believe there is not right to enforce C1 continuity in the computational model.
So to make this clear for me. There is no need to increase my continuity in a plane or truss problem for example? This increase will not give me better results, regarding the smoothness?
Spyros Asrva. My comments were only regarding trusses. By plane problems do you mean plane stress and plane strain?
Yeah plane stress/strain. And what do you mean that the trusses that are hinged each other. I mean if you use more than one elements to discretize the truss. Is there possible to reach more than c0 continuity. Thank you for. Your time
