Discretization of continuum
FEM Dr PVRamana 9
Finite element for continuum
•The continuum is separated by imaginary lines or surfaces into a
number of ‘finite elements’.
•The elements are assumed to be interconnected at a discrete
number of nodal points situated on their boundaries. The
displacements of these nodal points will be the basic unknown
parameters of the problem, just as in the simple structural analysis.
•A function (or functions) is chosen to define uniquely the state of
displacement within each ‘finite element’ in terms of its nodal
displacements.
•The displacement functions now define uniquely the state strain
within an element in terms of the nodal displacements. These strains,
together with any initial strains and the elastic properties of the
material will define the state of stress throughout the element and,
hence, also on its boundaries.
•A system of forces concentrated at the nodes and equilibrating the
boundary stresses and any distributed
