Notes:
In this note, we give the basis functions (shape functions) for Hsieh-Clough-Tocher triangles, complete or reduced. In order to take the best advantage of symmetry and for simplicity, we derive these functions for a general triangle by using simultaneously the ‘area co-ordinates’ and the so-called ‘eccentricity parameters’. We conclude with some remarks concerning the implementation.
