This document discusses axisymmetric elements for finite element analysis. It covers the conditions required for a problem to be axisymmetric, including symmetry about the axis of revolution. It also discusses the derivation of shape functions for axisymmetric elements, such as the three node axisymmetric triangular element, and covers strain-displacement matrices, stress-strain relationships, and assembling the element stiffness matrix for axisymmetric elements.
