We will now continue our study of 2-dim. elastostatics, and focus on a
somewhat more advanced element then the CST-element, namely the
4-noded bilinear (and isoparametric) element.

Since the stress/strain fields will not be constant in a 4-noded
element, the strain energy must be written as an integral.
From this it follows (by MPE) that we get an integral in the
transformation diagram!

The basic method to set up the shape functions for a 4-noded element is
to introduce an additional elementwise/local (so called natural)
coordinate system. However, before that, we will look a little bit at the
lower left part of the transformation diagram!

The lower left part of the transformation diagram may thus be
rewritten as shown below.
And why is that fine, one may ask?
Well, as we soon will see, it opens the way to make an
advantage of an additionally introduced natural coordinate
system!

As can be seen, we will for simplicity
skip the index n when writing the
natural shape functions!
However, there is no risk of confusing
things, since we only will set up the
shape functions in the natural
coordinates.

In order to calculate the element stiffness, we must take care of the integral
tdABEBk ee
T
ee
This integration (in the natural coordinates) is done numerically by so
called Gauss-quadrature (see the book), which basically means that we
evaluate the integrand at a number of points, and multiply with an
associated area. Depending on element type, a certain number of
evaluation points are needed, which for our 4-noded element i 4.
It must finally be noted that also the above element sometimes behaves
poorly, and that a higher order element then must be used.
