For plane stress or plane strain, the element stiffness matrix can be obtained by taking _____

a) Shape functions, N
b) Material property matrix, D
c) Iso parametric representation, u
d) Degrees of freedom, DoF

Answer: b
Explanation: The material property matrix is represented as ratio of stress to strain that is σ=Dε . Therefore by this relation element stiffness matrix can be obtained by material property matrix.
