This document discusses axi-symmetric analysis and finite element modeling techniques for single-variable problems. It introduces axi-symmetric coordinates where quantities depend only on radial (r) and axial (z) coordinates, reducing a 3D problem to 2D. It presents the weak form, finite element model, and element stiffness matrix formulation for a single-variable problem. It also discusses constant strain triangle (CST) and isoparametric elements, where shape functions allow modeling of arbitrary geometries.
