Chapter 10 Isoparametric ElementsLearning Objectives To formulate the Isoparametric formulation of thebar element stiffness matrix To present the Isoparametric formulation of theplane four-noded quadrilateral (Q4) elementstiffness matrix To describe two methods for numericalintegration Newton-Cotes and GaussianQuadrature used for evaluation of definiteintegrals To solve an explicit example showing theevaluation of the stiffness matrix for the planequadrilateral element by the four-point Gaussianquadrature ruleChapter 10 Isoparametric ElementsLearning Objectives To illustrate by example how to evaluate thestresses at a given point in a plane quadrilateralelement using Gaussian quadrature To evaluate the stiffness matrix of the three-nodedbar using Gaussian quadrature and compare theresult to that found by explicit evaluation of thestiffness matrix for the bar To describe some higher-order shape functions forthe three-noded linear strain bar.
After considering the linear-strain triangular element (LST) in Chapter 8, we can see that the development of element matrices and equations expressed in terms of a global coordinate system becomes an enormously difficult task (if even possible) except for the simplest of elements such as the constant-strain triangle of Chapter 6.
