heal.abstract	The paper describes a method of generating triangular finite elements for a two dimensional region bounded by rectangles. The work is divided into two parts: Part 1 describes the method dealing with the problem of generating graded triangular meshes for two dimensional regions. The mesh could be uniform or graded in four directions at prescribed regions where stress concentrations are expected to appear. Five typical groups of triangular elements are introduced and their properties and recurring formulae referring mainly to nodal and triangular numbering are given in detail. These properties are used later for developing the computer programme. Part 2 describes the process required for developing the computer programme in FORTRAN. The programme is divided into three sections (a) preparation of data (b) running of the programme and (c) printing of results. The method is demonstrated by an illustrative example of a simply supported thin beam loaded in its plane. © 1980.	en
