INTRODUCTION
2D solid elements are applicable for the analysis
of plane strain and plane stress problems.
A 2D solid element can have a triangular,
rectangular or quadrilateral shape with straight or
curved edges.
A 2D solid element can deform only in the plane
of the 2D solid.
At any point, there are two components in the x
and y directions for the displacement as well as
forces.
5
INTRODUCTION
For plane strain problems, the thickness of the
element is unit, but for plane stress problems, the
actual thickness must be used.
In this course, it is assumed that the element has a
uniform thickness h.
Formulating 2D elements with a given variation of
thickness is also straightforward, as the procedure
is the same as that for a uniform element.

Remarks
Shape functions used for interpolating the coordinates are
the same as the shape functions used for interpolation of
the displacement field. Therefore, the element is called an
isoparametric element.
Note that the shape functions for coordinate interpolation
and displacement interpolation do not have to be the same.
Using the different shape functions for coordinate
interpolation and displacement interpolation, respectively,
will lead to the development of so-called subparametric or
superparametric elements.

COMMENTS (GAUSS
INTEGRATION)
When the Gauss integration scheme is used, one has to
decide how many Gauss points should be used.
Theoretically, for a one-dimensional integral, using m
points can give the exact solution for the integral of a
polynomial integrand of up to an order of (2m1).
As a general rule of thumb, more points should be used for
a higher order of elements.
47
COMMENTS (GAUSS
INTEGRATION)
Using a smaller number of Gauss points tends to
counteract the over-stiff behaviour associated with the
displacement-based method.
Displacement in an element is assumed using shape
functions. This implies that the deformation of the element
is somehow prescribed in a fashion of the shape function.
This prescription gives a constraint to the element. The so-
constrained element behaves stiffer than it should. It is
often observed that higher order elements are usually softer
than lower order ones. This is because using higher order
elements gives fewer constraint to the elements.
48
COMMENTS ON GAUSS
INTEGRATION
Two Gauss points for linear elements, and two or three
points for quadratic elements in each direction should be
sufficient for most cases.
Most of the explicit FEM codes based on explicit
formulation tend to use one-point integration to achieve the
best performance in saving CPU time.
