Abstract

A new C0 8‐node 48‐DOF hexahedral element is developed for analysis of size‐dependent problems in the context of the modified couple stress theory by extending the methodology proposed in our recent work (Shang et al., Int J Numer Methods Eng 119(9): 807‐825, 2019) to the three‐dimensional (3D) case...
