Covers anisotropic elastic materials, examples, and Voigt notation for stress and strain components, emphasizing the compliance matrix for isotropic materials.
Covers the basics of structural mechanics, including treating bars as springs, using the method of sections to analyze complex structures, and exploring stress concentration and the Sambhanans principle.
Covers flexibility-based fiber beam-column elements and force-based elements for nonlinear structural analysis, including section flexibilities, stiffness matrices, and residual forces.
