Question: Problem 1 : 2 - D Heat Conduction Element ( 1 8 Points ) The scalar two - dimensional heat conduction strong form can be

Problem 1: 2-D Heat Conduction Element (18 Points)
The scalar two-dimensional heat conduction strong form can be stated as follows for a domain A and two-part boundary:
k(del2Tdelx2+del2Tdely2)+Q=0inA
T?b=ar(T)ondelAT
k(delTdelxnx+delTdelyny)=hondelAq
Show that the weak form for this boundary value problem can be expressed as below. Let w be the weighting function. Specify the appropriate degree of continuity and any prescribed conditions for the trial temperature field T and the weighting function w. Hint: like some the problems in an open book exam, the solutions may be inferred from the textbook (i.e. check the headings). Nonetheless, I ask you to verify it, so show the steps.
Find TinS such that for all weighting functions winV :
Ak(delwdelxdelTdelx+delwdelydelTdely)dA-AwQdA-delAqwhds=0
Let the finite element approximation for the temperature and weighting function be:
T(x,y)~~Th(x,y)=a=13Na(x,y)Ta=NT,N1=12x,N2=12y,N3=1-12x-12y
w(x,y)~~wh(x,y)=b=13Nb(x,y)wb=Nw
for a triangular element with edge lengths of 2 along the x and y axes and hypotenuse running between node 1 and node 2, i.e. the nodal (x,y) coordinates are (2,0),(0,2) and (0,0). Let the conductivity k=300. Develop the element stiffness matrix K for this triangular element. Actual numerical values are desired for the final matrix. Does the matrix exhibit similar properties to the stiffness matrices we have found for mechanical elements (2 d solid, 1 d bar, 1 b beam)? Name two example properties observed from the stiffness matrix.
