P. Reddaiah, "Deriving Shape Functions for 2,3,4,5 Noded Line Element by Lagrange Functions and Verified," International Journal of Mathematics Trends and Technology (IJMTT), vol. 51, no. 6, pp. 424-428, 2017. Crossref, https://doi.org/10.14445/22315373/IJMTT-V51P559
In this paper, I derived shape functions for 2,3,4,5 noded line element by lagrange functions and also I verified two verification conditions for shape functions. First verification condition is sum of all the shape functions is equal to one and second verification condition is each shape function has a value of one at its own node and zero at the other nodes. For computational purpose I used Mathematica 9 Software [2].
