A constant strain triangle element has the nodal co-ordinates (1, 2), (4, 0.5) and (3,4) for i, j and k nodes respectively. The elements is 2mm thick and is of matrial with properties E = 70 GPa and Poisson's ratio 0.3 upon loading of model, the nodal deflections found to be:
ui=100μmuj=75μmμk=80μm
vi=−50μmvj=−40μmvk=−45μm
Determine
i) The Jacobian for (x,y)−(ζ−/eta) transformation
ii) The strain displacement relation
iii) The strams
iv) The element stresses
