Which method of approach is useful for evaluating four noded quadratic elements?

a) Numerical integration
b) Penality approach method
c) Gaussian quadrature approach
d) Rayleighs method

Answer: c
Explanation: Gaussian quadrature is to select the n Gauss points and n weights such that provides an exact answer for polynomials f(ξ) of as large degree as possible. In other words, the Idea is that if the n-point integration formula is exact for all polynomials up to as high a degree as possible, then the formula will work well even if f is not a polynomial.
