ANALYSIS
FINITE ELEMENT
The Finite element approach:
I is actually a numerical method for solving differential equations generated by
theories of mechanics such as elasticity theory and strength of materials.
depends heavily on the processing power of computers and is more applicable
to structures of arbitrary size and complexity.
an assembly of elements or components with various forms of connection
between them.
Thus, a continuous system such as a plate or shell is modeled as a discrete
system with a finite number of elements interconnected at finite number of nodes.
The behaviour of individual elements is characterised by the element's
stiffness or flexibility relation, which altogether leads to the system's stiffness
or flexibility relation.
`
we can use the mechanics of
materials approach for simple
one-dimensional bar elements,
and the elasticity approach for
more complex two- and three-
dimensional elements.
