Numerical Method (Special Cases)

For all the special cases discussed in the following, the derivation will be based on the standard nodal point configuration as shown to the right.

• Symmetric case: symmetrical relative to the A-A axis.

In this case, Tm-1,n=Tm+1,n

Therefore the standard nodal equation can be written as
