## Abstract This paper presents theory and examples of partial approximation as a modification of the displacement method in the finite element analysis. This method requires different shape functions for different terms in the potential energy expression to curtail the processes in the standard di

## Abstract The typical numerical problem associated with finite element approximations is a quadratic programming problem with linear equality constraints. When nodal variables are employed, the coefficient matrix of the constraint equations, [**A**], acquires a blockβdiagonal structure. The trans
## Abstract Quadrilateral finite elements are generally constructed by starting from a given finite dimensional space of polynomials __VΜ__ on the unit reference square __KΜ__. The elements of __VΜ__ are then transformed by using the bilinear isomorphisms __F__~__K__~ which map __KΜ__ to each conve
It is shown that standard finite-element discretizations of second-order differential equations (i.e. Galerkin and subdomain methods) using conforming linear elements may fail to approximate the original equation locally if the finite-element grid is irregular or if subdomains are chosen improperly.
