Structural Analysis: Beam Elements and Virtual Work

Description

This lecture covers the analysis of beam elements using virtual work principles, focusing on the transition from strong to weak form for solid mechanics problems. It includes the derivation of element equations, nodal forces, and global stiffness matrices. The lecture also discusses the application of equivalent nodal forces for distributed and concentrated loadings.
