variables within the element in terms of known nodal variables.

INTERPOLATION FUNCTION

Functions used to represent the behavior of a field variable within an element.


 Also called shape functions or approximating functions.
 Polynomials are widely used because they are relatively easy to manipulate.

φ = ∑ N i φi = N {φ }

Ni = interpolation functions

 Interpolation functions chosen must meet certain continuity requirements to


ensure:
- Continuity of field variables
- Convergence to correct solution as element size decreases.
 Interpolation functions must have geometric isotropy.

The expansion remains unchanged under linear transformation from one Cartesian
coordinate system to another.

MMJ1153 – COMPUTATIONAL METHOD IN SOLID MECHANICS

Properties of individual elements can be formulated in several ways:

 Direct approach.
This approach is traceable to the direct stiffness method of
structural analysis.

 Variational approach
This approach relies on the calculus of variation and involve
optimizing a functional.

 Method of weighted residual


This approach begins with the governing equations of the problem
and proceed without relying on a functional.

 Energy balance approach


This approach is based on mechanical energy of a system.
It does not require a variational statement.

and at the free end,
b) Normal stresses in the plate, and
c) Reaction force at the support.
