Abstract

The differential quadrature element method (DQEM) has been proposed. The element weighting coefficient matrices are generated by the differential quadrature (DQ) or generic differential quadrature (GDQ). By using the DQ or GDQ technique and the mapping procedure the governing differential or partial differential equations, the transition conditions of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions can be discretized. A global algebraic equation system can be obtained by assembling all of the discretized equations. This method can convert a generic engineering or scientific problem having an arbitrary domain configuration into a computer algorithm. The DQEM irregular element torsion analysis model is developed.
