The nine‐node quadrilateral is much more accurate than its eight‐node relative if elements are non‐rectangular. However, the nine‐node element may display spurious low‐energy modes under 2 × 2 Gauss quadrature. These modes can be controlled by using the 3 × 3 quadrature rule, but at added cost. This paper investigates two inexpensive control devices that can be used with 2 × 2 Gauss quadrature.
