FINITE ELEMENT FORMULATION OF BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The finite element method constitutes a general tool for the numerical solution of partial
differential equations in engineering and applied science
The finite element method (FEM), or finite element analysis (FEA), is based on the idea of
building a complicated object with simple blocks, or, dividing a complicated object into small and
manageable pieces. Application of this simple idea can be found everywhere in everyday life as well as
in engineering.

problems, the method of weighted residuals becomes very useful. It has many types. The popular
four methods are,

The better result will be obtained by considering more terms in polynomial and trigonometric series.
1.4 WEAK FORMULATION OF THE WEIGHTED RESIDUAL STATEMENT.
The analysis in Section as applied to the model problem provides an attractive perspective to the
solution of certain partial differential equations: the solution is identified with a “point”, which
minimizes an appropriately constructed functional over an admis- sible function space. Weak
om
(variational) forms can be made fully equivalent to respective strong forms, as evidenced in the
discussion of the weighted residual methods, under certain smoothness assumptions. However, the
equivalence between weak (variational) forms and variational principles is not guaranteed: indeed, there
exists no general method of construct-
s.c
ing functionals I [u], whose extremization recovers a desired weak (variational) form. In this
sense, only certain partial differential equations are amenable to analysis and solution by
variational methods.
tas
Vainberg’s theorem provides the necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence of a
weak (variational) form to a functional extremization problem. If such equivalence holds, the functional
is referred to as a potential.
da
Theorem (Vainberg)
Consider a weak (variational) form
vil
G(u, δu) := B(u, δu) + (f, δu) + (q¯ , δu)Γq = 0 ,
where u ∈ U , δu ∈ U0 , and f and q¯ are independent of u. Assume that G pos- sesses a
Gˆateaux derivative in a neighborhood N of u, and the Gˆateaux differen- tial Dδu1 B(u, δu2) is
Ci
continuous in u at every point of N .
Then, the necessary and sufficient condition for the above weak form to be derivable from a
potential in N is that
Dδu1 G(u, δu2) = Dδu2 G(u, δu1) ,
Namely that Dδu1 G(u, δu2) be symmetric for all δu1, δu2 = U0 and all u = N .
Preliminary to proving the above theorem, introduce the following two lemmas:
Lemma 1 Show that Dv I[u] = lim

In the above derivation, note that operations and |ω=0 are not interchangeable (as they
both refer to the same variable ω), while lim∆ω→0 and |ω=0 are interchangeable, conditional upon
sufficient smoothness of I [u].
Lemma 2 (Lagrange’s formula)
Let I [u] be a functional with Gateaux derivatives everywhere, and u, u + δu be any points
of U. Then,
I [u + δu] − I [u] = Dδu I [u + ǫ δu] 0 < ǫ < 1.
To prove Lemma 2, fix u and u + δu in U, and define function f on R as
om
f(ω) := I[u + ω δu] .
It follows that
F = df f (ω + ∆ω) − f (ω)

1.5 PIECE WISE CONTINUOUS TRIAL FUNCTION
da
In weighted residual method the polynomial and trigonometric series are used as trial function.
This trial function is a single composite function and it is valid over the entire solution domain this
assumed trial function solution should match closely to the exact solution of the differential equation
and the boundary conditions, it is nothing but a process of curve fitting. This curve fitting is carried
vil
out by piecewise method i.e., the more numbers of piece leads better curve fit. Piecewise method can
be explained by the following simple problem.

The finite element method can be used to solve a variety of problem types in
engineering, mathematics and science. The three main areas are mechanics of materials, heat
transfer and fluid mechanics. The one-dimensional spring element belongs to the area of
mechanics of materials, since it deals with the displacements, deformations and stresses
involved in a solid body subjected to external loading.

Element dimensionality:
An element can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional or three-dimensional. A spring element
is classified as one-dimensional.
Geometric shape of the element
The geometric shape of element can be represented as a line, area, or volume. The one-
dimensional spring element is defined geometrically as:

Types of degrees of freedom per node

Degrees of freedom are displacements and/or rotations that are associated with a node. A one-
dimensional spring element has two translational degrees of freedom, which include, an axial
(horizontal) displacement (u) at each node.
vil
Ci
Element formulation
There are various ways to mathematically formulate an element. The simplest and limited
approach is the direct method. More mathematically complex and general approaches are energy
(variation) and weighted residual methods.

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
The direct method uses the fundamentals of equilibrium, compatibility and spring law from a
sophomore level mechanics of material course. We will use the direct method to formulate the one-
dimensional spring element because it is simple and based on a physical approach.
The direct method is an excellent setting for becoming familiar with such basis concepts of
linear algebra, stiffness, degrees of freedom, etc., before using the mathematical formulation
approaches as energy or weighted residuals.
Assumptions
Spring deformation
The spring law is a linear force-deformation as follows:
om
f=kΔ
f - Spring Force (units: force)
k - Spring Constant (units: force/length)
Δ - Spring Deformation (units: length)
s.c
Spring Behaviour:
tas
A spring behaves the same in tension and compression.
Spring Stiffness:
Spring stiffness k is always positive, i.e., k>0, for a physical linear system.
da
Nodal Force Direction:
Loading is uniaxial, i.e., the resultant force is along the element. Spring has no resistance to
lateral force.
vil
Weightless Member:
Element has no mass (weightless).
Ci
Node Location:
The geometric location of nodes I and J cannot coincide, i.e., xi ≠ xj. The length of the element
is only used to visually see the spring.
A column of KE is a vector of nodal loads that must be applied to an element to sustain a
deformed state in which responding nodal DOF has unit value and all other nodal DOF are zero. In
other words, a column of KE represents an equilibrium problem.

constant within each element. Each element in the mesh may be described by a different constant,

1.6.1 Rigid Body
A body is considered rigid if it does not deform when a force is applied. Consider rigid and
non-rigid bars subjected to a gradually applied axial force of increasing magnitude as shown.
The reader should note the following characteristics of rigid and non-rigid (flexible) bodies:
Force Magnitude - Even if forces are large, a rigid body does not deform. A non-rigid body will
deform even if a force is small. In reality, all bodies deform.
Failure - A rigid body does not fail under any load; while a non-rigid body will result either in
ductile or brittle failure when the applied load causes the normal stress to exceed the breaking
(fracture) stress b of the material. Brittle failure occurs when the applied load on the non-rigid
bar shown above causes the breaking strength of the bar to be exceeded.
om
Material - The material is not considered in a rigid body. Since a rigid body does not deform (
= 0) this is equivalent to an infinite modulus of elasticity. In contrast the modulus of elasticity
for a non-rigid material is finite, e.g., for steel, Esteel = 30 x 106 psi. (200 GPa). For rigid and
non-rigid bars the material laws are:
s.c
tas
da
Rigid Body Motion
vil
Rigid body motion occurs when forces and/or moments are applied to an unrestrained mesh
(body), resulting in motion that occurs without any deformations in the entire mesh (body). Since no
strains (deformations) occur during rigid body motion, there can be no stresses developed in the mesh.
Ci
A rigid body in general can be subjected to three types of motion, which are translation,
rotation about a fixed axis, and general motion which consists of a combination of both translation and
rotation. These three motion types are as follows:
Translation - If any line segment on the body remains parallel to its original direction during
the motion, it is said to be in translation. When the path of motion is along a straight line, the motion is
called rectilinear translation, while a curved path is considered as a curvilinear translation. The
curvilinear motion shown below is a combination of two translational motions, one horizontal motion
and one vertical motion.

1.7 PRINCIPLE OF STATIONERY TOTAL POTENTIAL (PSTP)
1.7.1 Potential energy in elastic bodies
Potential energy is the capacity to do the work by the force acting on deformable bodies; the
forces acting on a body may be classified as external forces and internal forces. External forces are the
applied loads while internal force is the stresses developed in the body. Hence the total potential
om
energy is the sum of internal and external potential energy.
Consider a spring mass system let its stiffness be k and length L, due to a force P let it extend
by u
The load P moves down by distance u. hence it loses its capacity to do work by P u. the
s.c
external potential energy in this case is given by.
H = -P u
Average force =

The energy stored in the spring due to strain = Average force x Deflection

1.7.2 Principle of Minimum Potential Energy

In principle of virtual work =

Hence we can conclude that a deformable body is in equilibrium when the potential energy is
having stationary value.

2.2 LINEAR STATIC ANALYSIS( BAR ELEMENT)
Most structural analysis problems can be treated as linear static problems, based on the
following assumptions
1. Small deformations (loading pattern is not changed due to the deformed
shape) s.c
2. Elastic materials (no plasticity or failures)
3. Static loads (the load is applied to the structure in a slow or steady fashion)
Linear analysis can provide most of the information about the behavior of a
tas
structure, and can be a good approximation for many analyses. It is also the bases of
nonlinear analysis in most of the cases.
2.3 BEAM ELEMENT
da
A beam element is defined as a long, slender member (one dimension is much larger
than the other two) that is subjected to vertical loads and moments, which produce vertical
displacements and rotations. The degrees of freedom for a beam element are a vertical
displacement and a rotation at each node, as opposed to only an horizontal displacement at
vil
each node for a truss element.
Degrees of Freedom
Ci
Degrees of freedom are defined as the number of independent coordinates necessary
to specify the configuration of a system. The degrees of freedom for a general situation
consists of three translations in the x, y, and z directions and three rotations about the x, y, and
z axes. A one-dimensional beam element has four degrees of freedom, which include, a
vertical displacement and a rotation at each node.

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
Assumptions
Nodal Forces and Moments
Forces and moments can only be applied at the nodes of the beam element, not
between the nodes. The nodal forces and moments, , are related to the nodal displacements
and rotations, through the element stiffness matrix, .
Constant Load
The loads that are applied to the beam element are assumed to be static and not to
vary over the time period being considered, this assumption is only valid if the rate of change
of the force is much less than the applied force (F >> dF/dt). If the loads vary significantly,
(if the variation in load is not much less than the applied force) then the problem must be
om
considered as dynamic.
Weightless Member
The weight (W) of the beam is neglected, if it is much less than the total resultant
forces (F) acting on the beam. If the weight of the beam is not neglected, then its effects must
s.c
be represented as vertical forces acting at the nodes, by dividing up the weight and lumping it
at the nodes, proportionally according to it's placement along the beam.
Prismatic Member
The beam element is assumed to have a constant cross-section, which means that the
tas
cross-sectional area and the moment of inertia will both be constant (i.e., the beam element is
a prismatic member). If a beam is stepped, then it must be divided up into sections of
constant cross-section, in order to obtain an exact solution. If a beam is tapered, then the
beam can be approximated by using many small beam elements, each having the same cross-
da
section as the middle of the tapered length it is approximating. The more sections that are
used to approximate a tapered beam, the more accurate the solution will be.
The moment of inertia is a geometric property of a beam element, which describes the
vil
beams resistance to bending and is assumed to be constant through the length of the element.
The moment of inertia can be different along different axes if the beam element is not
symmetric, we use the moment of inertia (I) of the axis about which the bending of the beam
occurs
Ci

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
Where (Iz) refers to the moment of inertia, resisting bending about the "z" axis and (Iy) about
the "y" axis.
The Beam Element is a Slender Member
A beam is assumed to be a slender member, when it's length (L) is more than 5 times
as long as either of it's cross-sectional dimensions (d) resulting in (d/L<.2). A beam must be
slender, in order for the beam equations to apply, that were used to derive our FEM
equations.
om
The Beam Bends without Twisting.
It is assumed that the cross-section of the beam is symmetric about the plane of
s.c
bending (x-y plane in this case) and will undergo symmetric bending (where no twisting of
the beam occurs during the bending process). If the beam is not symmetric about this plane,
then the beam will twist during bending and the situation will no longer be one-dimensional
and must be approached as an unsymmetric bending problem (where the beam twists while
tas
bending) in order to obtain a correct solution.
Cross Section Remains Plane
When a beam element bends, it is assumed that it will deflect uniformly, thus the
da
cross section will move uniformly and remain plane to the beam centerline. In other words,
plane sections remain plane and normal to the x axis before and after bending.
Axially Rigid
vil
The one-dimensional beam element is assumed to be axially rigid, meaning that there
will be no axial displacement (u) along the beams centriodal axis. This implies that forces
will only be applied perpendicular to the beams centriodal axis. The one-dimensional beam
element can be used only when the degrees of freedom are limited to vertical displacements
Ci
(perpendicular to the beams centriodal axis) and rotations in one plane. If axial displacements
are present then a one-dimensional bar element must be superimposed with the one-
dimensional beam element in order to obtain a valid solution.
Homogenous Material
A beam element has the same material composition throughout and therefore the same
mechanical properties at every position in the material. Therefore, the modulus of elasticity E
is constant throughout the beam element. A member in which the material properties varies
from one point to the next in the member is called inhomogenous (non-homogenous). If a
beam is composed of different types of materials, then it must be divide up into elements that
are each of a single homogeneous material, otherwise the solution will not be exact.

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
Isotropic Material
A beam element has the same mechanical and physical properties in all directions,
i.e., they are independent of direction. For instance, cutting out three tensile test specimens,
one in the x-direction, one in the y-direction and the other oriented 45 degrees in the x-y
plane, a tension test on each specimen, will result in the same value for the modulus of
elasticity (E), yield strength and ultimate strength . Most metals are considered
isotropic. In contrast fibrous materials, such as wood, typically have properties that are
directionaly dependant and are generally considered anisotropic (not isotropic).
The Proportional Limit is not Exceeded
It is assumed that the beam element is initially straight and unstressed. It is also
assumed that the material does not yield, therefore the beam will be straight after the load is
om
released. These assumptions mean that the beam must be made of an elastic material, one
which will return to it's original size and shape when all loads are removed, if not stressed
past the materials elastic or proportional limit. It is also assumed that the beam is not stressed
past the proportional limit, at which point the beam will take a permanent set and will not
fully return to it's original size and shape, when all loads are removed. Below the proportional
s.c
limit an elastic material is in the linear elastic range, where the strain ( ) varies linearly with
the applied load and the stress ( ) varies linearly according to:
modulus of elasticity.
, where E is the
Rigid Body Modes for the One-Dimensional Beam Element
tas
Rigid body motion occurs when forces and/or moments are applied to an unrestrained
mesh (body), resulting in motion that occurs without any deformations in the entire mesh
(body). Since no strains (deformations) occur during rigid body motion, there can be no
stresses developed in the mesh. In order to obtain a unique FEM solution, rigid body motion
da
must be constrained. If rigid body motion is not constrained, then a singular system of
equations will result, since the determinate of the mesh stiffness matrix is equal to zero (i.e.,
).
vil
There are two rigid body modes for the one-dimensional beam element, a translation
(displacement) only and a rotation only. These two rigid body modes can occur at the same
time resulting in a displacement and a rotation simultaneously. In order to eliminate rigid
body motion in a 1-D beam element (body), one must prescribe at least two nodal degrees of
Ci
freedom (DOF), either two displacements or a displacement and a rotation. A DOF can be
equal to zero or a non-zero known value, as long as the element is restrained from rigid body
motion (deformation can take place when forces and moments are applied) .
For simplicity we will introduce the rigid body modes using a mesh composed of a
single element. If only translational rigid body motion occurs, then the displacement at local
node I will be equal to the displacement at local node J. Since the displacements are equal
there is no strain developed in the element and the applied nodal forces cause the element to
move in a rigid (non-deflected) vertical motion (which can be either up as shown below or it
can be in the downward direction depending on the direction of the applied forces).

Visit : Civildatass.com Visit : Civildatass.com
Visit : Civildatass.com
ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
This rigid body mode can be suppressed by prescribing a vertical nodal displacement.
If rotational rigid body motion occurs, then the rotation at local node I will be equal to
the rotation at local node J (i.e., in magnitude and direction). In this situation the nodal forces
and/or moments applied to the element, cause the element to rotate as a rigid body (either
clockwise as shown below or counterclockwise depending on the direction of the applied
forces and/or moments).

2.6 BEAM ELEMENT
tas
A beam is a long, slender structural member generally subjected to transverse loading
that produces significant bending effects as opposed to twisting or axial effects. An elemental
length of a long beam subjected to arbitrary loading is considered for analysis. For this
elemental beam length L, we assign two points of interest, i.e., the ends of the beam, which
da
become the nodes of the beam element. The bending deformation is measured as a transverse
(vertical) displacement and a rotation (slope). Hence, for each node, we have a vertical
displacement and a rotation (slope) – two degrees of freedom at each node. For a single 2-
noded beam element, we have a total of 4 degrees of freedom. The associated “forces” are
vil
shear force and bending moment at each node.

Initially you have a horizontal beam element. Since v2 2 0 , we can fix node j. To produce
an upward deflection at node i (i.e., allowing first degree of freedom to occur), apply an
upward force k11 (first suffix indicates the force or moment DoF and the second suffix

displacement DoF number and force DoF number. Now the beam configuration is given by
Figure 1. We can observe from the figure that the slope at node i is not zero. To make the

TWO DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Two dimensional elements are defined by three or more nodes in a two dimensional
plane (i.e., x, y plane). The basic element useful for two dimensional analysis is the
triangular element.
om
Plane Stress and Plane Strain s.c
The 2d element is extremely important for the Plane Stress analysis and Plane
Strain analysis.
tas
Plane Stress Analysis:
It is defined to be a state of stress in which the normal stress () and shear
stress () directed perpendicular to the plane are assumed to be zero.
da
Plane Strain Analysis:
It is defined to be a state of strain in which the normal to the xy plane and the
shear strain are assumed to be zero.

3.2 THREE NODED LINEAR TRIANGULAR ELEMENT
The physical domain considered is geometrically a 2-Dimensional domain, i.e., an area with
Ci
uniform thickness and the single variable can be one of pressure, temperature, etc. (a scalar
quantity, not a vector quantity). An example is the temperature distribution in a plate. At each
point there can be only one temperature. We consider such an area meshed with triangular
elements. Each triangular element has three nodes, (i.e., one node at each corner). Let us consider
one such element with coordinates x1 , y1 , x2 , y2 and x3 , y3 . The single variable (for example,
temperature) at these nodes 1, 2 and 3 are u1 , u2 and u3 , respectively. If so, then the unknown single
variable u (temperature) at any non-nodal point x, y in the 2-D domain can be expressed in terms
of the known nodal variables (temperatures) u1 , u2 and u3 .

Let us assume that the single variable can be expressed as
u x , y c1 c2 x c3 y c4 x y ………………(1)
s.c
This polynomial contains four linearly independent terms and is linear in x and y, with a
bilinear term in x and y. The polynomial requires an element with four nodes. There are two
possible geometric shapes: a triangle with the fourth node at the centroid of the triangle or a
rectangle with nodes at the vertices.
tas
A triangle with a fourth node at the center does not provide a single-valued variation of u at
inter-element boundaries, resulting in incompatible variation of u at inter-element boundaries and is
therefore not admissible.
da
The linear rectangular element is a compatible element because on any side, the single
variable u varies only linearly and there are two nodes to uniquely define it.
Here we consider an approximation of the form given in eqauation (1) and use a rectangular
vil
element with sides a and b. For the sake of convenience we choose a local coordinate system
x , y to derive the interpolation functions.

We can also express stresses in terms of strains by solving the above equation,
The above relations are valid for plane stress case. For plane strain case, we

3.8 STRUCTURAL MECHANICS APPLICATIONS IN 2 DIMENSIONS
Elasticity equations are used for solving structural mechanics problems. These
equations must be satisfied if an exact solution to a structural mechanics problem is to be
obtained. Thest are four basic sets of elasticity equations they are

TRUSS ELEMENT
A truss element is defined as a deformable, two-force member that is subjected to
loads in the axial direction. The loads can be tensile or compressive. The only degree of
om
freedom for a one-dimensional truss (bar) element is axial (horizontal) displacement at each
node.
s.c
Assumptions for the One-Dimensional Truss Element
tas
Prismatic Member
The truss element is assumed to have a constant cross-section, i.e., it is a prismatic
member. If a truss structure is stepped, then it must be divided up into sections of constant
da
cross-section in order to obtain an exact solution as shown below.
vil
Ci
If a truss structure is tapered, then it can be approximated by using many small truss
elements, each having the same cross-section as the middle of the tapered length it is
approximating. The more sections that are used to approximate a tapered truss, the more
accurate the solution will be.

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
Weightless Member
The weight (W) of the truss is neglected since it is assumed to be much less than the
total resultant forces (F) acting on the truss. If the weight of the truss is not neglected, then
its effects must be represented as vertical forces acting at the nodes. But since truss element
is defined as two-force member it cannot have any vertical (shear) force, thus the member
weight has to be neglected. If shear forces exist, then a beam element must be used to model
the structure.
Nodal Forces
For one-dimensional truss element, forces (loads) can only be applied at the nodes of
the element, but not between the nodes. This is consistent with the FEM equations which
om
relate nodal forces to nodal displacements through the stiffness matrix.
Axially Loaded
For one-dimensional truss element, forces (loads) can only be applied at the centroid
s.c
of the element cross-sectional area.
Buckling Effect not Considered
tas
A bar element can be subjected to either tensile or compressive forces. Tensile forces
can be applied to a bar of any cross-sectional area or member length, and failure is
associated with sudden fracture or general yielding. When compressive forces are applied to
a member, it can either fail due to crushing or buckling. Buckling is present when the
member bends and laterally deflects as shown on the right figure below.
da
vil
Buckling is not accounted for in the formulation of the truss element. Members that
do not buckle are classified as short columns and members that buckles are classified as
Ci
long columns. The structural response of a short column can be predicted with a truss
element.
To determine if buckling will occur the reader should refer to a mechanics of
material textbook. We will now introduce a simple geometric guideline to determine if
buckling might occur. If the ratio between the member length and the least dimension of the
cross-section is equal or less than 10, the member is considered a short column and buckling
will not occur, i.e.,

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
Two examples include
In the second case if a bar element is subjected to a compressive force, the element will not
predict the buckling response. One should note that the above geometric rule is a simple
guideline, however, in reality buckling depends not only on the member length and cross-
sectional area, but material properties and support conditions.
om
Isotropic Material
A truss element has the same mechanical and physical properties in all directions, i.e., they
are independent of direction. For instance, cutting out three tensile test specimens, one in the
x-direction, one in the y-direction and the other oriented 45 degrees in the x-y plane, a
s.c
tension test on each specimen, will result in the same mechanical values for the modulus of
elasticity (E), yield strength y and ultimate strength u. Most metals are considered
isotropic. In contrast fibrous materials, such as wood, typically have properties that are
directionally dependant and are generally considered anisotropic (not isotropic).
tas
Constant (Static) Load
The loads that are applied to the truss element are assumed to be static and not to vary over
the time period being considered. This assumption is only valid if the rate of change of the
da
force is much less than the applied force (F >> dF/dt), i.e., the loads are applied slowly. If
the loads vary significantly, (if the variation in load is not much less than the applied force)
then the problem must be considered as dynamic.
vil
Poisson's Effect not Considered
Poisson's ratio is a material parameter. Poisson's effect is when a uniform cross-section bar
is subject to a tensile load, and the axial stretching is accompanied by a contraction in the
Ci
lateral dimension. For one-dimensional truss element., this effect is neglected for simplicity,
i.e., v = 0.
Cross Section Remains Plane
For one-dimensional element, although the force(s) are acting on only the centroid of the
truss (bar) element, it is assumed that it has a uniform effect to the plane. Thus the cross
section will move uniformly and remain plane and normal to the axial axis before and after
loading.

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
Homogenous Material
A truss element has the same material composition throughout and therefore the same
mechanical properties at every position in the material. Therefore, the modulus of elasticity
E is constant throughout the truss element. A member in which the material properties varies
from one point to the next in the member is called inhomogenous (non-homogenous). If a
truss is composed of different types of materials, then it must be divide up into elements that
are each of a single homogeneous material, otherwise the solution will not be exact.
The left figure shows a composite bar composed of brass and aluminum. This structure can
be divided into two elements as shown on the right, one element for the brass with E 1 = 15 x
106 psi and one for the aluminum with E2 = 10 x 106 psi.

6.7.1 Derivation of stiffness matrix and finite element equation for a truss element.
There are two joints for an arbitrarily inclined single truss element (at an angle , positive
counter-clockwise from +ve x-axis). For each joint i, there are two degrees of freedom, i.e.,
a joint can have horizontal displacement ui and vertical displacement vi . Hence, for a
single truss element, there are 4 degrees of freedom. The nodal displacement degrees of
freedom and the nodal force degrees of freedom are shown in the following figure.

Solution
The beam structure looks very different from a spring. However, its behavior is
om
very similar. Deflection occurs along the x-axis only. The only significant difference
between the beam and a spring is that the beam has a variable cross-sectional area. An
exact solution can be found if the beam is divided into an infinite number of elements,
then, each element can be considered as a constant cross-section spring element, obeying
the relation F = ku, where k is the stiffness constant of a beam element and is given by
k = AE/L. s.c
In order to keep size of the matrices small (for hand- calculations), let us divide the
beam into only three elements. For engineering accuracy, the answer obtained will be in
tas
an acceptable range. If needed, accuracy can be improved by increasing the number of
elements.
As mentioned earlier in this chapter, spring, truss, and beam elements are line-
elements and the shape of the cross section of an element is irrelevant. Only the cross-
da
sectional area is needed (also, moment of inertia for a beam element undergoing a
bending load need to be defined). The beam elements and their computer models are
shown
vil
Here, the question of which cross-sectional area to be used for each beam section
arises. A good approximation would be to take the diameter of the mid-section and use
that to approximate the area of the element.

APPLICATIONS IN HEAT TRANSFER &FLUID MECHANICS
5.1 ONE DIMENSIONAL HEAT TRANSFER ELEMENT
In structural problem displacement at each nodel point is obtained. By
using these displacement solutions, stresses and strains are calculated for each
element. In structural problems, the unknowns are represented by the
components of vector field. For example, in a two dimensional plate, the
unknown quantity is the vector field u(x,y),where u is a (2x1)displacement
vector.
Heat transfer can be defined as the transmission of energy from one
region another region due to temperature difference. A knowledge of the
om
temperature distribution within a body is important in many engineering
problems. There are three modes of heat transfer.
They are: (i) Conduction
(ii) Convection
s.c
(iii) Radiation
5.1.1Strong Form for Heat Conduction in One Dimension
with Arbitrary Boundary Conditions
tas
Following the same procedure as in Section, the portion of the
boundary where the temperature is prescribed, i.e. the essential boundary is
denoted by T and the boundary where the flux is prescribed is recommended
da
for Science and Engineering Track. Denoted by q ; these are the
boundaries with natural boundary conditions. These boundaries are
complementary, so
vil
q = ¼ ; q \ T ¼ 0:
With the unit normal used in , we can express the natural boundary
condition as qn ¼ q. For example, positive flux q causes heat inflow (negative
Ci
q ) on the left boundary point where qn ¼ q ¼ q and heat outflow (positive
q ) on the right boundary point where qn ¼ q ¼ q.

5.2.1Strong Form for Two-Point Boundary Value Problems
The equations developed in this chapter for heat conduction, diffusion and
s.c
elasticity problems are all of the following form:
Such one-dimensional problems are called two-point boundary value
problems. gives the particular meanings of the above variables and parameters
tas
for several applications. The natural boundary conditions can also be
generalized as (based on Becker et al. (1981))
Þ ¼ 0 on :

Equation is a natural boundary condition because the derivative of the
solution appears in it. reduces to the standard natural boundary conditions
considered in the previous sections when bðxÞ ¼ 0. Notice that the essential
vil
boundary condition can be recovered as a limiting case of when bðxÞ is a
penalty parameter, i.e. a large number In this case, and Equation is
called a generalized boundary condition.
An example of the above generalized boundary condition is an elastic bar
Ci
with a spring attached as shown in In this case, bðlÞ ¼ k and reduces to
E(n-l) ( k-uð) uÞ ¼ 0 at x ¼ l;

where ¼ k is the spring constant. If the spring stiffness is set to a very large
value, the above boundary condition enforces ¼ u; if we let k ¼ 0, the above
boundary condition corresponds to a prescribed traction boundary. In practice,
such generalized boundary conditions are often used to model the influence of
the surroundings. For example, if the bar is a simplified model of a building and its
foundation, the spring can represent the stiffness of the soil.

An example of the generalized boundary for elasticity problem.
Another example of the application of this boundary condition is
convective heat transfer, where energy is transferred between the surface of the
s.c
wall and the surrounding medium. Suppose convective heat transfer occurs at x
¼ l. Let T ðlÞ be the wall temperature at x ¼ l and T be the temperature in the
medium. Then the flux at the boundary x ¼ l is given by qðlÞ ¼ hðT ðlÞ T Þ, so
bðlÞ ¼ h and the boundary condition is
tas
where h is convection coefficient, which has dimensions of W m 2 o
C 1 . Note that when the convection coefficient is very large, the temperature
T is immediately felt at x ¼ l and thus the essential boundary condition is
da
again enforced as a limiting case of the natural boundary condition.
There are two approaches to deal with the boundary condition . We will
call them the penalty and partition methods. In the penalty method, the
vil
essential boundary condition is enforced as a limiting case of the natural
boundary condition by equating bðxÞ to a penalty parameter. The resulting
strong form for the penalty method is given in.

In the partition approach, the total boundary is partitioned into the natural
boundary, and the complementary essential boundary, The natural boundary condition has
the generalized form defined by The resulting strong form for the partition method is
summarized in.
5.2.3 Weak Form for Two-Point Boundary Value Problems
In this section, we will derive the general weak form for two-point boundary value
problems. Both the penalty and partition methods described in will be considered. To
obtain the general weak form for the penalty method, we multiply the two equations in the
strong by the weight function and integrate over the domains over which they hold: the
domain for the differential equation and the domain for the generalized boundary

condition.

where u = u(x1 , x2 , x3 , t) is the unknown displacement field, ρ is the mass density, and I
= (0, T ) with T being a given time. Also, u0 and v0 are the prescribed initial displacement
and velocity fields. Clearly, two sets of boundary conditions are set on Γu and Γq ,
respectively, and are assumed to hold throughout the time interval I . Likewise, two sets of
initial conditions are set for the whole domain Ω at time t = 0. The strong form of the
resulting initial/boundary- value problem is stated as follows: given functions f , t̄, ū , u0 and
v0 , as well as a constitutive equation for σ, find u in Ω × I , such that the equations are
satisfied.
A Galerkin-based weak form of the linear elastostatics problem has been derived in Sec-
tion In the elastodynamics case, the only substantial difference involves the inclusion

of the term Ω w · ρü dΩ, as long as one adopts the semi-discrete approach. As a result, the

Following a standard procedure, the contribution of the forcing vector Fint,e due to
interele- ment tractions is neglected upon assembly of the global equations. As a result, the
da
equations is give rise to their assembled counterparts in the form
Mu + Kû = F ,

where û is the global unknown displacement vector1 . The preceding equations are, of course,
subject to initial conditions that can be written in vectorial form as û(0) = û0 and v̂(0) = v̂0
Ci
.
The most commonly employed method for the numerical solution of the system of cou-
pled linear second-order ordinary differential equations is the Newmark method. This
method is based on a time series expansion of û and û˙ := v̂. Concentrating on the time
interval (tn ,tn+1 ], the Newmark method is defined by the equations
1 2
ûn+1 = ûn + v̂n ∆tn + [(1 − 2β)ân + 2βân+1 ]∆tn ,

v̂n + [(1 − γ)ân + γân+1 ]∆tn ,
v̂n+1 =

ME2353 Finite Element Analysis
It is clear that the Newmark equations define a whole family of time integrators.
It is important to distinguish this family into two categories, namely implicit and explicit
integrators, corresponding to β > 0 and β = 0, respectively.
The overhead “hat” symbol is used to distinguish between the vector field u and the
solution vector ûemanating from the finite element approximation of the vector field u.
The general implicit Newmark integration method may be implemented as follows: first,
solve (9.18)1 for ân+1 , namely write
om
ân+1 = (ûn+1 − ûn − v̂n ∆tn ) ân
β∆t2n
Then, substitute (9.19) into the semi-discrete form (9.17) evaluated at tn+1 to find that
M +K
n
ûn+1 = Fn+1s.c .
After solving for ûn+1 , one may compute the acceleration ân+1 from and the velocity
tas
v̂n+1 from.
Finally, the general explicit Newmark integration method may be implemented as follows:
starting from the semi-discrete equations evaluated at tn+1 , one may substitute û n+1from
to find that
da
Mân+1 = −K(ûn + v̂n ∆tn +ân ∆tn ) + Fn+1 .
vil
If M is rendered diagonal (see discussion in Chapter 8), then ân+1 can be determined
without solving any coupled linear algebraic equations. Then, the velocities bˆv n+1 are
immediately computed from (9.18)2 . Also, the displacements û n+1 are computed from
indepen-dently of the accelerations ân+1 .
