Abstract The Finite Element Method (FEM) has been used for over 40 years by scientists and engineers to determine the stresses and strains in structures too complex to analyse by purely analytical methods. The structure is subdivided into a mesh of small elements interconnected at their edges at node points. Each element is simple enough to be analysed in turn, and if equilibrium conditions are considered between each element and its neighbours at the node points, then the stress distribution in the whole structure can be determined. A simple meshed structure is shown in Figure 1.
