Title: A Study of the Effect of Element Shape on the Accuracy of Various 2D Finite Element Formulations
Authors: Subbayya, Kuppanda Kiran
Advisor: Weaver, D.S.
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Keywords: Mechanical Engineering;Mechanical Engineering
Publication Date: Sep-1980
Abstract: <p>Linear Isoparametric elements and elements based on the Constant Strain Triangle are developed and incorporated into a computer program, for two dimensional stress analysis on mini computers. These elements are compared at element level using the Weighted Eigenvalue method and in assemblage using sensitivity analysis. Further, a method of predicting results based on the data generated during the comparisons at the element level is also presented. As an application of the computer program, analysis of a porcelain insulator is also included.</p>
