Element and the coordinate systems
- Consider the element and the coordinate systems x and y in centimeters shown in figure below.
[(0,0), J(15,0), M(15,10), N(0,10) cm for coordinates.

- a) Derive the finite element shape (interpolation) functions at x=y=5 corn.
- b) Verify that the shape functions obtained satisfy all the Lagrangian properties.
