| Matrix or Vector | Shape Functions | Integration Points |
|---|---|---|
| Stiffness, Mass, and Stress Stiffness Matrices; and Thermal Load Vector | Equation 11–172 through Equation 11–183 | 4 |
| Pressure Load Vector | Equation 11–49 and Equation 11–50 | 3 |
| Load Type | Distribution |
|---|---|
| Element Temperature | Same as shape functions |
| Nodal Temperature | Same as shape functions |
| Pressure | Linear over each face |
Structures describes the derivation of structural element matrices and load vectors as well as stress evaluations. General Element Formulations gives the general element formulations used by this element.
Stabilization terms are introduced and condensed out at element as enhanced term (Onate et al.([91])).
