Problem 6.29
6.30 For the quadratic Lagrange element (nine nodes), sketch shape function N_{1} in the manner of Fig. 6.6-2d. Decide whether N_{1} is positive or negative in each quadrant by evaluating N_{1} at \xi = \pm \frac{1}{2} and \eta = \pm \frac{1}{2} .
6.31 Consider the nine-node element whose shape functions are given by Table 6.6-1. Any of nodes 5 through 9 can be omitted. In similar fashion, could node 1 be omitted, as shown, so as to produce a valid element with two straight edges, whose displacements are governed by nodes 2, 4, 5, and 8?

Summary Questions
6.74 Each of the structures shown may be analyzed as two-dimensional. Greatest stresses and greatest deflections are desired. Imagine that an initial (coarse mesh) analysis is to be undertaken, so that errors will be roughly 10% or less. For each structure, sketch a suitable mesh, first using linear elements and then using quadratic elements. State your assumptions and approximations regarding how loads and supports are specified, the use of symmetry, the quadrature rule needed, treatment of stress concentrations, and so on.
COORDINATE TRANSFORMATION
Uses of coordinate transformations in structural mechanics are described, with emphasis on transformation of stiffness properties.
7.1 INTRODUCTION
Coordinate transformation permits the calculation of elastic property matrix [E'] and stiffness matrix [k'] in one coordinate system with subsequent transformation to matrices [E] and [k] in another coordinate system. Other uses of coordinate transformation include condensation techniques in structural dynamics and imposition of constraints. Constraints are discussed in detail in Chapter 9.
The form [Q] = [T]^{7}[Q'][T] appears repeatedly. Here [Q'] is the matrix to be transformed and [T] is the transformation matrix. The transformed matrix [Q] is symmetric if [Q'] is symmetric. Matrix [T] may be rectangular or square. If square it may not be orthogonal. The specific form of [T] depends on the problem at hand.
One often has the option of taking [Q'] as either an element matrix or the corresponding structure matrix. Computer programming is usually easiest when transformations are done before elements are assembled, even though we must then transform several small matrices instead of one large one.
Formal matrix multiplication to produce [T]^{T}[Q^{\prime}][T] is often wasteful because [T] is often sparse. Sparsity should be exploited, or terms in the product should be hand-calculated and then coded.
Caution. Transformations modify stiffness matrices. Errors and inconsistencies in stiffness matrices can lead to numerical difficulties and seriously degrade accuracy. It matters little if errors in [T] produce only a slightly different geometry than intended. But damage is done if errors in [T] act to falsify equilibrium equations. To avoid damage, we should state and manipulate transformation matrices and constraint equations with as much precision as is granted to stiffness coefficients K_{ij} .
7.2 TRANSFORMATION OF VECTORS
Consider a vector V whose scalar components in the x, y, and z directions are u, v, and w (Fig. 7.2-1). Components of V in the x' , y' and z' directions are u' , v' , and w' . We wish to express u' , v' , and w' in terms of u, v, w, and the cosines of
text_image
y' y v' v V x' x u y w' w z z'
Direction cosines of axes:
| x | y | z | |
| $x'$ | $\ell_1$ | $m_1$ | $n_1$ |
| $y'$ | $\ell_2$ | $m_2$ | $n_2$ |
| $z'$ | $\ell_3$ | $m_3$ | $n_3$ |
Figure 7.2-1. Coordinate systems xyz and x'y'z' , with table of direction cosines of angles between axes; for example, \ell_{1} is the cosine of the angle between axes x and x' . Components of a vector V can be expressed in either coordinate system.
angles between axes x'y'z' and xyz. Vector V can be regarded as a position vector, a nodal force or moment vector, or a nodal displacement or rotation vector. ^{1}
Component u' can be regarded as the sum of components of displacements u , v , and w parallel to the x' axis. That is, u' = \ell_1 u + m_1 v + n_1 w . Components v' and w' can be written similarly. In matrix format, these relations are
\left\{ \begin{array}{l} u ^ {\prime} \\ v ^ {\prime} \\ w ^ {\prime} \end{array} \right\} = [ \Lambda ] \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u \\ v \\ w \end{array} \right\}, \quad \text { where } \quad [ \Lambda ] = \left[ \begin{array}{l l l} \ell_ {1} & m _ {1} & n _ {1} \\ \ell_ {2} & m _ {2} & n _ {2} \\ \ell_ {3} & m _ {3} & n _ {3} \end{array} \right] \tag {7.2-1}
Matrix [\Lambda] is called the rotation matrix. Equation 7.2-1 relates vectorial components in two systems. Matrix [\Lambda] is orthogonal (i.e., its inverse is equal to its transpose). Therefore, the inverse of the transformation in Eq. 7.2-1 is
\left\{ \begin{array}{l} u \\ v \\ w \end{array} \right\} = [ \Lambda ] ^ {T} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u ^ {\prime} \\ v ^ {\prime} \\ w ^ {\prime} \end{array} \right\} \tag {7.2-2}
Vector V in Fig. 7.2-1 may represent a displacement whose components can be expressed as \{d\} = \left[u \quad v \quad w\right]^{T} or as \{d'\} = \left[u' \quad v' \quad w'\right]^{T} . Or, V may represent a force whose components can be expressed as \{r\} = \left[f_{x} \quad f_{y} \quad f_{z}\right]^{T} or as \{r'\} = \left[f_{x}' \quad f_{y}' \quad f_{z}'\right]^{T} . Accordingly, components of displacements and forces obey the transformation rules
\{\mathbf {d} ^ {\prime} \} = [ \Lambda ] \{\mathbf {d} \} \quad \text { and } \quad \{\mathbf {d} \} = [ \Lambda ] ^ {T} \{\mathbf {d} ^ {\prime} \} \tag {7.2-3}
\{\mathbf {r} ^ {\prime} \} = [ \Lambda ] \{\mathbf {r} \} \quad \text { and } \quad \{\mathbf {r} \} = [ \Lambda ] ^ {T} \{\mathbf {r} ^ {\prime} \} \tag {7.2-4}
^{1} Provided that rotation is small, as is usual. Finite (large) rotations do not combine vectorially.
