An Introduction to the use of Isoparametric Elements with Examples from the Torsion Problem.

Abstract

An introductory account is given of the use of isoparametric elements in finite element structural analysis. The basic theory is described and two simple examples are worked out in detail; these both relate to the torsion of bars. Brief mention is also made of other applications of isoparametric elements.
