3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does FEM stand for?
Think about how we divide structures for analysis.
What is the principle of potential energy?
Relate this to how we find stability in structures.
What is the primary application of the Finite Element Method?
Think about the areas where FEM simplifies analysis.
True or False: The element stiffness matrix shows how an element reacts to applied loads.
Consider the purpose of stiffness matrices in FEM.
Using a spring element, derive the stiffness matrix given a load. Discuss the derivation steps clearly.
Recall how deformation relates to applied loads.
Compare and contrast the applications of plane stress and plane strain. Provide examples where each is applicable.
