FEA DEFENITION
FEA is a numerical tool for solving problems of
engineering and mathematical physics.
Finite element problems can be classified into two
types ,

Structural – displacement solutions, stress strain

Non-structural – Temperature, fluid pressure and fluid
flow…
DISCRETIZATION
It is a process of sub dividing a part into convenient
number of smaller elements.
EXAMPLES.,
NODES
The elements which are discretized can be inter
connected by means of nodes or nodal points.
SELECTION OF A DISPLACEMENT
FUNCTION
It involves in selecting a displacement function within each
element. Polynomial of linear and quadratic are given.,
