concreteproperties.utils.shape_function#

shape_function(coords: np.ndarray, gauss_point: List[float]) Tuple[np.ndarry, float][source]#

Computes shape functions and the determinant of the Jacobian matrix for a linear triangular element at a given Gauss point.

Parameters
  • coords (numpy.ndarray) – Global coordinates of the linear triangle vertices [2 x 3]

  • gauss_point (List[float]) – Gaussian weight and isoparametric location of the Gauss point

Returns

The value of the shape functions N(i) at the given Gauss point [1 x 3] and the determinant of the Jacobian matrix j

Return type

Tuple[numpy.ndarray, float]
