1. For the rectangular element of Figure 10–20 with the
nodal displacements given by
determine the fsg matrix at s = 0, t = 0 using the
isoparametric formulation described in Section 10.4. (Also see Example 10.5.)
Let E = 30 10
6
psi and n = 0:3.
2.
For the three-noded bar (Figure P10–1), what
Gaussian quadrature rule (how many Gauss points) would you recommend to
evaluate the sti¤ness matrix? Why?
