The finite element method is based on the representation of a body by an assemblage of subdivisions called finite elements. These elements are considered to be connected at nodes. Displacement […]

If the body has no abrupt changes in geometry, material properties and external conditions (e.g., load), the body can be divided into equal subdivisions and hence the spacing of the […]
EK37
Since the actual variation of the field variable inside the continuum is not known, we assume that the variation of the field variable inside a finite element can be approximated […]
EK25
The basic premise of the finite element method is to describe the continuous variation of the field variable in terms of discrete values at the finite element node.
EK24
The crux of the finite element method is that the values of the field variable computed at the nodes are used to approximate the values at non-nodal points in the […]
