How the stresses are recovered to nodes from reduced integration?
Element quad4, one gauss point in the center of element.

RE: Reduced integration
The same procedure is used for fully-integrated elements
RE: Reduced integration
But I can not imagine inter/extrapolation from one Gauss point.
Is is not that the stresses at nodes of element are the same as stress at one/centre Gauss point?
RE: Reduced integration
These elements are sometimes called constant stress/strain elements.
Nodal values may still get averaged to produce a single value though.
