1. Evaluate the shape functions given by Eq. (8.2.6). Sketch
the variation of each function over the surface of the triangular element shown
in Figure 8–3.
2. Express the strains e
x
;e
y
, and g
xy
for the element of Figure 8–3 by using the results given in Section 8.2.
Evaluate these strains at the centroid of the element; then evaluate the
stresses at the centroid in terms of E and n. Assume plane stress conditions
