Shear locking in one-dimensional finite element methods
The accuracy of the results obtained with Finite Element Methods depends on the basis functions employed to approximate the displacement fields. If the beam is very thin, there can be shear locking and the numerical approximation leads to erroneous ...

On elimination of shear locking in the element‐free Galerkin method
In this study, a method for completely eliminating the presence of transverse shear locking in the application of the element-free Galerkin method (EFGM) to shear-deformable beams and plates is presented.

Slip locking in finite elements for composite beams with deformable shear connection
In this paper, the authors discuss problems that may occur in the finite element analysis of composite beams with deformable shear connection, where slip arises between beam components while contact is preserved. E2ects of locking problems, comparable to

Intra-ply shear locking results in unrealistic fibre stresses and spurious wrinkling in composite forming simulations. Three remedies are investigated: aligning the mesh, applying reduced integration and using multi-field elements.
