Abstract

Conventionally, linear shape functions are used for two noded one dimensional elements. Determination of coefficients of a second degree polynomial are restricted to one dimensional two noded element as it requires more than two boundary conditions at each node. The present work introduces a new nonlinear trigonometric shape function to a one dimensional two noded element. Results with newly introduced shape function show better matching with exact solution to the specified solid mechanics problem.
