where i(xi,yi), j(xj,yj), k(xk,yk) are the three nodes of element e (see Figure 3) and function
Nie(x,y) is given by Equations 21 through 24.
When (x, y) is on a boundary segment with nodes i and j at the ends, Equation 82
is simplified to:
η(x, y) = ηi N iP + η j N P

where N iP = (s j - s) / LP , N P = (si - s) / LP , and s is the relative coordinate along P and
j
has values of si and sj at the two endpoints. The length of the segment is L = |si - sj|.
