What new element is Castigliano s Theorem introducing? 1. None, it's just a particular case of the PMPE 2. It's a totally different principle that allows to obtain solutions of elasticity problems with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency in- cluding relativistic effects
Concept Question Which of the following statements is true 1. The PVD and the PMPE are equivalent 2. The PVD is more general 3. The PMPE applies to any kind of material 4. The stationary character of the potential en ergy is equivalent to the Pvd for elastic ma terials
Introduction-1导引-1 The finite element method is an extension of the analysis techniques(matrix method) of ordinary framed structures. 有限元法是刚架结构分析技术的扩充。 The finite element method was pioneered in the aircraft industry where there was an urgent need for accurate analysis of complex airframe 有限元法首先应用于飞机工业
