Abstract

The Hybrid-Trefftz (HT) finite element model, initiated in 1977–78 [1,2] and based on enforcing the conformity on an assumed element displacement field chosen so as to a priori satisfy the governing differential equations of the problem has now become a powerful and well established tool [3]. The paper shortly overviews and assesses the past an recent developments and outlines some new promising directions of the research under way.
