This lecture covers the generalization of the model problem in structural mechanics, including the insertion of discontinuities, shifting, and modification of boundary conditions. It also explores the strong formulation of the problem, equilibrium equations, and the link between normal force and displacement. The instructor discusses the analogy with flow continuity equations, the integral formulation of the problem, and the concept of virtual axial displacement.
