Covers the calculation of stiffness matrices for each bar element in the global reference frame and explores the influence of element numbering and node positions.
Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including treating bars as springs, using the method of sections to analyze complex structures, and exploring stress concentration and the Sambhanans principle.
Explores the local approach of the finite element method, covering nodal shape functions, solution restrictions, sizes, boundary conditions, and assembly operations.
Explores the weak formulation and Galerkin method in Finite Element Method applications, including boundary conditions and linear systems of equations.
