Bk. Dutta, A 6-NODED ELEMENT FOR ANALYZING POWER-TYPE SINGULARITIES UNDER THERMAL LOADS, International journal for numerical methods in engineering, 36(13), 1993, pp. 2287-2303
The shape functions of a 6-noded triangular element have been derived
to model power-type singularities under thermal loads. A number of cas
e studies have been presented, which involve variable-order singularit
ies under mechanical and thermal loads. The results show the usefulnes
s of the element.
