What is the displacement function for one-dimensional, two noded linear elements in terms of its shape functions N1 and N2?
What is the displacement function for one-dimensional, two noded linear elements in terms of its shape functions N1 and N2? Correct Answer N1u1+N2u2
For a linear element, the displacement function is a linear polynomial of nodal displacements. A one-dimensional, two noded linear elements have two nodes with corresponding displacements u1, u2 and corresponding shape functions N1, N2. The displacement function is given by N1u1+N2u2.
