The integration required to find the stiffness matrix for a triangular finite element is inexpensive if the polynomial order of the element is low. Higher-order elements can be handled efficiently by universal matrices provided they are straight-edged and the material properties are uniform. For cur
Conditions under which it is possible to determine exact integrals for stiness matrix entries for a 6-noded isoparametric plane strain element have been investigated. Considerable use has been made of the algebraic manipulation language MAPLE in obtaining the results. It has been shown that exact in
