1. Use Gaussian quadature with two and three Gauss points
and Table 10–2 to evaluate the following integrals:
Then use the Newton-Cotes quadrature with two and three
sampling points and Table 10–1 to evaluate the same integrals. Compare your
results.
2.
For the quadrilateral elements shown in Figure
P10–16, write a computer program to evaluate the sti¤ness matrices using
four-point Gaussian quadrature as outlined in Section 10.4. Let E = 30 10
6
psi and n = 0:25. The global coordinates (in inches) are shown in the figures.
