As mentioned above, to form a mesh over a general region the elements must be…

In FEM, Lagrange interpolation method is used for the polynomial interpolation. The formula was named…

Natural coordinate system is basically a local coordinate system which allows the specification of a…

The shape function is the function which interpolates the solution between the discrete values obtained…

The elements must have enough approximation power to capture the analytical solution in the limit…

So now that the importance of convergence has been discussed, how can it be measured?…

A typical engineering design involves the prediction of deflections/displacements, stresses, natural frequencies, temperature distributions, etc.…
