General matrix equations of displacement-based continuum elements

The selection of interpolation functions and their implementation (displacements and coordinates) By invoking the linearized principle of virtual displacements for each nodal point displacement the governing equations are obtained Same interpolation functions for coordinates and displacements assure that the displacement compatibility is preserved also for incremental analysis ( y (for all configurations) g )
