2D Problems - LST: Higher Order Triangular Elements

The document summarizes higher order triangular finite elements for 2D problems. It discusses a 6-noded quadratic triangular element and the displacement functions which are second degree (quadratic) in x and y. The element has 6 degrees of freedom at each node. Matrices are presented relating the displacements, strains, and stresses.
