The equivalent virtual work formula is generated by multiplying 7.2 by arbitrary functions T (i.e., a virtual temperature variation δT T= ), integrating over the volume, and applying integration by parts to obtain

where

q = –nTκ∇T (7.6)

is the heat flux into the body across the surface with outward normal n. After dividing the volume into finite elements, we introduce shape functions for

each element:

u = ND, ε = AD, T = ST, ∇T = BT, (7.7)

where T is the column matrix of nodal temperatures. Using the same shape functions to generate the virtual temperature variations yields the finite element form of the virtual work:
