Derivation of stiffness matrix for beam element // FEM//FEA

In this video, we derive the elemental stiffness matrix for a beam element including the associated shape functions and the finite element equation. A beam is a long slender structural member generally subjected to transverse loading that produces significant bending as opposed to twisting and axial effects. The bending deformation is measured as a transverse displacement and rotation i.e. two degrees of freedom per node. The stiffness matrix for a member is used to express the forces at the ends of the member as functions of the displacements of the member’s ends.

We have started a new #lectureseries dubbed: Introduction to #FiniteElementMethods (for beginners). We shall be having a live lecture every week from 8.30 AM (UTC+3). The lessons will be archived in this playlist bit.ly/FEMintro. See you in class. Cheers. And always remember to subscribe to this channel.
