Abstract
In the previous Chapter we considered “traditional” techniques of assembly and solution involving element matrix assembly (additive) followed by Gaussian elimination performed on the resulting non-symmetric, fully-populated, linear equation system. We noted that computer storage requirements for the element matrix coefficients become demanding, as do processing requirements, for large numbers of elements particularly in three dimensions.
