dc.description.abstract	The performance of three-dimensional hexahedral elements has been compared in this study. The standard quadratic 20-noded hexahedral element has shown robust performance in many applications, however, it has a high number of nodes, which necessitates relatively large computational time. The standard linear 8-noded hexahedral element has the least number of nodes in elements of this geometric type, but it is unable to model adequately a state of pure bending. The 8-noded element can be modified by including non-conforming displacements to improve its efficiency. The modified hexahedral element has been adopted in finite element analyses and its excellent performance in terms of accuracy and time efficiency is described.	en
