5.6 CLOSING REMARKS
Different types of finite elements in linear and higher order forms suitable for a variety of problems are presented in this chapter. Characteristics of various polynomials are also discussed and their properties are presented. With the basic idea of polynomial interpolation functions and Lagrangian functions, general procedures for constructing finite elements and characteristics have been discussed. Using the linear interpolation concepts, element properties for line, triangular, rectangular, tetrahedral and prism elements have been elaborated. Using the higher order interpolation concepts, element properties for one-dimensional line element, two-dimensional triangular and rectangular elements are discussed. Each case has ...
