Volumetric locking in CPE3T elements - possible? 1

CPE3T is linear coupled temp-disp plane strain triangular element.
Volumetric locking mainly occurs in second order fully integrated elements.
However first order triangles may exhibit volumetric locking with incompressible or nearly incompressible material. In your case it shouldn’t happen. But if you’re still unsure use hybrid formulation.
