Fem Unit III

The document discusses the finite element method for analyzing 2D truss structures, including determining the transformation matrix and direction cosines to define member orientations, developing the element stiffness matrix, and methods for solving the system of equations through elimination of constraints or using penalty functions. It also covers calculating element stresses and reaction forces from the results.
