A simple triangle strain-based element has been developed for plane stress and plane strain issues. This element has three nodes. Each of the three nodes has three degrees of freedom. The developed element can be applied to a variety of practical issues. Some membrane analysis problems are used to evaluate its performance. The obtained findings show that the present element performs well and accurately.
