Abstract: Basic solutions of displacement for short and deep beam is analyzed. The simplified methods by which high order distributed load on boundary can be transformed into node force are reviewed. The precise formula of node force fitted second order distributed load is developed sing virtual work principle. The approach of improving the precision of calculation for the short and deep beam is discovered.
Keywords: short and deep beam, finite element method, node load, virtual work principle.
