Abstract
The linear brick (solid) element is a three-dimensional finite element with both local and global coordinates. It is characterized by linear shape functions in each of the x, y, and z directions. It is also called a trilinear hexahedron. This is the third isoparametric element we deal with in this book. The linear brick element has modulus of elasticity E and Poisson’s ratio v.
