Abstract
This paper is aimed at generating element stiffness matrices for the family of triangular elements using Universal Matrix Method and performing a CPU time efficiency analysis and comparison of stiffness coefficients deviation (error). The interpolation functions of the field variable function (displacement) are to be integrated explicitly once and for all when geometric transformation function is linear, to give the constant universal matrices. This makes the generation of stiffness matrix a simple addition of universal matrices rather than integration of functions.
