Finite Element Method FEM FOR 3D SOLIDS CONTENTS INTRODUCTION TETRAHEDRON ELEMENT Shape functions Strain matrix Element matrices HEXAHEDRON ELEMENT Shape functions Strain matrix Element matrices Using tetrahedrons to form hexahedrons HIGHER ORDER ELEMENTS ELEMENTS WITH CURVED SURFACES CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION For 3D solids, all the field variables are dependent of x, y and z coordinates – most general element. The element is often known as a 3D solid element or simply a solid element. A 3-D solid element can have a tetrahedron and hexahedron shape with flat or curved surfaces. At any node th
