Abstract
Over the past two decades, the finite‐element method has been increasingly used in a variety of engineering fields including structural analysis, solid mechanics, and soil mechanics. The method uses the relationship between the basic properties of each discrete element to define the behavior of that element. A solution for the response of the overall system, subject to a set of boundary conditions, is provided by solving a set of compatible simultaneous equations by matrix solution techniques.Keywords
