RAYLEIGH-RITZ METHOD
Rayleigh-Ritz method involves the construction of
an assumed displacement field, say
u = ai i ( x, y, z)
i = 1 to L
v = aj j( x, y, z)
j = L + 1 to M
w = ak k( x, y, z)
k = M + 1 to N
N > M > L

Hence

GALERKINS METHOD
Galerkins method uses the set of governing
equations in the development of an integral form.
It is usually presented as one of the weighted
residual methods.
Let us consider a general representation of a
governing equation on a region V

Where , L as operator operating on u

The approximate methods revolve around

function Wi ,i = 0 to n
