Consider the circular domain of hypothetical one-dimensional elements shown below. Assume one degree of freedom per node. How should the nodes be numbered in order to minimize the half-bandwidth of the system coefficient matrix K? What is the half-bandwidth of K?

Consider the circular domain of hypothetical one-dimensional elements shown in Fig- ure 1(a). Assume one degree of freedom per node. How should the nodes be numbered in order to minimize the half-bandwidth of the system coefficient matrix K? What is the half-bandwidth of K? Figure 1.
