Bar and Beam Elements: Linear Static Analysis

This document discusses bar and beam elements used in linear static analysis. It provides the stiffness matrix calculations for 1D bar elements using direct and formal methods, and examples of applying distributed loads and boundary conditions. It also covers transforming bar elements into 2D and 3D spaces, including examples of using multipoint constraints and penalty approaches for handling boundary conditions.
