This lecture covers the iso-parametric formulation of the quad4 planar element, explaining the choice of element, interpolation functions, stiffness matrix, and consistent forces. It also delves into deriving interpolation functions and the Jacobian matrix, as well as calculating the strain tensor and assembling the stiffness matrix.
