Abstract
Over the past decade the finite element method (FEM) has become established as a valuable tool in the solution of a wide variety of problems in engineering. The FEM may be seen as a method of solving boundary value problems where the phenomenon in the domain being studied obeys known differential equations. In the FEM the domain is discretized into a number of elements in each of which the solution of the governing equation is approximated by some function which satisfies the boundary conditions. A set of equations is then set up which when solved forces the solution at various points in the domain, known as nodal points, to the best approximation allowed by the approximating functions and the boundary conditions.
