2. LINEAR SPRING AS A FINITE ELEMENT//MATRIX ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES (Lec. 02-ECE 2408)

In this second lesson on the lecture series Introduction to #FiniteelementMethods, we introduce the spring as a finite element. A linear elastic spring is a mechanical device capable of supporting axial loading only. It is introduced to beginners because it provides a simple yet general instructive tool to illustrate basic concepts of finite element equations formulations. Watch individual lectures here 1.
