A Review of Basic Finite Element Procedures
摘要
A thorough review of all basic (fundamental) components of the finite element (FE) procedures is presented in this chapter, which includes the “weak formulation,” how to identify the geometric versus natural boundary conditions, flowcharts for “statics and dynamics” finite element analysis (FEA), one−/two−/three-dimensional finite element equations, assembling process, how to incorporate boundary conditions into FE sparse solvers, and Gauss quadrature rules for integration.
