Application of special 2-D triangular finite elements in analysis and design of thin-walled beam-type structures

Modern design as well as manufacturing process including all of necessary analysis in it, in present time are computer oriented. Because of structure complexity and computer capability, the most used design method is finite element method. In present paper using of special 2-D finite element in design stress analysis is presented. All of element characteristics are derived on the basis of its nodal displacement, e.g. on the basis of finite element field deplanation. As an accuracy confirmation of this application some examples are presented.
