Homework Assignment 2

Exercise 1. For the linear triangular element specified in the figure below:

Compute the Jacobian determinant at the next two points:


a) 𝜉 = 𝜂 = 0.1.
b) 𝜉 = 𝜂 = 0.5.

Exercise 2. Using the Gaussian rule with 𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑡 = 2, compute the integral:
1
∫ 𝑔(𝜉)𝑑𝜉
−1

Do it for the next expressions of the function 𝑔(𝜉):


a) 𝑔(𝜉) = 1
b) 𝑔(𝜉) = 𝜉
c) 𝑔(𝜉) = 𝜉 2
d) 𝑔(𝜉) = 𝜉 3
e) 𝑔(𝜉) = 𝜉 4
In addition, compute these integrals analytically as well.
(In 1D, Gauss quadrature formulas with 𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑡 quadrature points exactly integrate polynomials of
degree 2𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑡 − 1. Therefore, in this case, numerical and analytical integration should coincide
for cases a), b), c), and d), but not for e).)
