Abstract
The finite element derivations for a base element of beams and bars under different types of behaviors are discussed in this chapter. The static lateral defection and axial, torsional, and lateral vibrations of beams and bars are studied and the members of mass, stiffness, and force matrices are derived. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the Timoshenko beam and the derivations of the element matrices.
