Explores the weak formulation and Galerkin method in Finite Element Method applications, including boundary conditions and linear systems of equations.
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.
Introduces linear statics for linear elastic solids in small deformations, stress equilibrium, the Virtual Work Principle, and the Finite Element Method.
