derivetion of shape function for 1-d linear element ;

let $\phi =A(\xi+1) (\xi - 1)$

At node 1, from (\xi+1) vanishen

$\hspace{2cm}\therefore \phi = A(\xi-1)$

At node :$\xi = - 1 and \phi_1=1$

$\hspace{2cm}\therefore 1=A(-2)$

$\hspace{3cm} \therefore A=\frac{-1}{2}$

$\hspace{2cm}\therefore \phi_1=\frac{-1}{2}(\xi-1)=\frac{1}{2}(1-\xi)$

similarly At node 2, from $(\xi-1)$ vanishen

$\hspace{2cm}\phi_2=(\xi+1)$

At node …
