Finite Elements in Structural Mechanics

The document discusses applying finite element analysis to solve structural mechanics problems in one dimension. It introduces a linear finite element to solve general one-dimensional boundary value problems. It then provides examples of using this finite element to analyze problems of heat flow, heat conduction and convection, fluid flow between plates, and column buckling. The document ends by inviting the reader to ask any questions.
