Truss FEM Formulation – Weak Form Basics
This video will introduce you to the following Strong and Weak Forms, Hamilton’s Principle, Kinetic Energy of the Problem Domain, Potential Energy (Elastic Strain Energy) of the Problem Domain, and Work done by the External Forces in the context of FEM. The concepts are valid for 1D, 2D, and 3D cases, however we will convert them to Truss later on.
