Notes:
This paper presents a triangular finite element for the solution of two-dimensional field problems in orthotropic media. The element has nine degrees of freedom, these being the potential and its two derivatives at each node.The ‘stiffness’ matrix is derived analytically so that no further integration is required when computations are performed using the element.The results obtained using the element are compared with the exact mathematical solution of both a temperature distribution and a torsion problem.
