Covers the generalization of the model problem in structural mechanics and explores equilibrium equations and the link between normal force and displacement.
Introduces linear statics for linear elastic solids in small deformations, stress equilibrium, the Virtual Work Principle, and the Finite Element Method.
Explores matching conditions in structural mechanics for non-straight beams, frames, and arches, emphasizing differential relations and constant determination.
Explores the weak formulation and Galerkin method in Finite Element Method applications, including boundary conditions and linear systems of equations.
