There are some educational uses of the symbolic procedure that justify pursuing it a little further. Recalling that it is assumed that the element behavior depends only on those parameters, says be, that are associated with element 'e', it is logical to assume that Ie = l-deTkebe + SeTce. 10) If NELFRE represents the number of degrees of freedom associated with the element then be and ce are NELFRE x 1 in size and the size of ke is NELFRE x NELFRE. Note that in practice NELFRE is much less than NDFREE.
If we solve Eq. 39) we can relate the finite element constants, V^·, to the exact constants, \E, at the nodes of the element. Then inverting AF, Eq. 40) 1 where K = A^ AE is a rectangular matrix with constant coefficients. Therefore, we can return to Eq. 39) and relate everything to V^. This gives uF(a) = VF(a)KVE = PE(a)\E = uE(a) so that for arbitrary \E, one probably has the finite element polynomial and the exact polynomial related by PF(a)K = PE(a). Likewise, the derivatives of this relation should be approximately equal.
In this special example, but that is not usually true. Symbolically we interpolate such that ue(x) = = H*(JC)U* ueTneT(x) and likewise if we degenerate this to a portion (sub-set) of the boundary of the element = H*(JC)U* = VLbTYLb\x). u\x) In the example we have the unusual case that u^ = u* and Kb = He. , ) and H^ is a subset of He. 18) a (x) = E\x)z {x) so that Ue = - ueT J BeTEeBeAeuedx-ueT J e L HeTXeAedx L b bT u = -u Lb jnbTTbPbdx. 19) where the element stiffness matrix is Se = \BeTEeBeAedx, the element body force vector is c; = \wTxeAedx, Le (320) (321) and the boundary segment traction vector is C£= JHbTT»pbdx.
