3. Finite Element formulation using the Weighted Residual Approach

In this third lecture the following topics are discussed:

• weighted residual approach – recap from flipped classroom lecture
• finite element formulation using the weighted residual approach
• co-ordinate transformations

The flipped classroom lecture that will be discussed gives an example of how to use the weighted residual approach. This lecture can be downloaded via this link. If needed, an additional classroom lecture on coordinate transformations is provided below.
