Principle of Minimum Energy

Description

This lecture covers the principle of minimum energy in the context of potential energy, focusing on the concept of equilibrium and displacement fields. It discusses the minimization of energy and the equilibrium solution of a system, emphasizing the importance of continuity and compliance in the mesh. The lecture also explores the representation of rigid displacements and constant deformations, highlighting the significance of convergence towards the exact solution as the mesh is refined.
