an approximate technique
for solving boundary value problems
that utilizes trial functions
satisfying the prescribed boundary conditions and
an integral formulation to minimize error, in an average
sense, over the problem domain.

Problem 1
The circular rod shown in Figure has
an outside diameter of 60 mm,
length of 1 m and
is perfectly insulated on its circumference.
Using four equal-length elements, determine the steadystate temperature distribution in the cylinder.
