that ϕj takes a constant value of 1 over element j <strong>and</strong> 0 at all other elements (Figure 3.1<br />

right plot). There<strong>for</strong>e, Equation 3.15 can be interpreted as a mass conservation statement,<br />

element-by-element. The second term can be integrated by parts to arrive at the sum of<br />

integral fluxes, Vh,ij, between element i <strong>and</strong> its adjacent elements j:<br />

The inter-element flux can be evaluated using a two-point or a multipoint flux approximation<br />

(Aavatsmark, 2002).<br />

The interpolation functions <strong>for</strong> the displacement vectors are the usual C 0 -continuous<br />

isoparametric functions, such that ηb takes a value of 1 at node b, <strong>and</strong> 0 at all other<br />

nodes (the left of Figure 3.1). Inserting the interpolation from Equations 3.16–3.17, <strong>and</strong><br />

testing Equations 3.14–3.15 against each individual shape function, the semi-discrete finite-<br />

element/finite-volume equations can be written as<br />

The stress <strong>and</strong> strain tensors are expressed in compact engineering notation (Hughes, 1987).<br />

For example, in 2D,<br />
