(25 points) Matlab Code needed
Repeat book problem 4.4 d using a 3 noded element where the trial and weight
function approximations are given by the incomplete polynomial (but with a
linear complete approximation):
e=0e+1ex+2ex4
Compare the results to the linear approximation.
Part 4 d . referenced in question 3 is below
d. The error of an interpolation is generally measured by what is called a L2 norm. The error in the L2 norm,
which we denote by e, is given by
e2=0L(ue-u)2dx
where u(x)=x3 in this case. Compute the error e for meshes of two, four and eight linear displacement
elements. Use Gauss quadrature for integration. Then plot (this can be done manually) the error versus
the element size on a log-log plot. This should almost be a straight line. What is its slope? This slope is
indicative of the rate of convergence of the element.
