noded triangular element.
2) Draw constant strain triangle, linear strain triangle, and quadratic strain triangle.
3) Explain global and local coordinate systems with the help of figures.
4) What is a natural coordinate system? Derive the natural coordinates for a 2 noded line element in
terms of L1 and L2 when range is 0 to 1.
5) Find the natural coordinates of the nodes A, B, C and the point Q 1 for the 3 noded triangular
element shown below.
