Lecture

Rigid Displacement

Description

This lecture covers the concept of rigid displacement, focusing on the principle of minimum energy and potential energy. It discusses the interpolation functions used to represent rigid displacements and constant deformations, emphasizing the importance of continuity between elements. The instructor explains the process of finding equilibrium and the significance of conforming to the mesh. The lecture concludes with considerations on displacement functions and the convergence of the solution as the mesh is refined.
