This course provides an understanding of finite elements in elasticity for civil engineering problems with an emphasis in structural engineering. Major topics include the formulation and use of several different types of elements such as truss elements, frame elements, beam elements, shell elements, and plate elements. The course also includes the calculation of different element stiffness matrices and the assembly of the global stiffness matrix. This course also discusses the use of different element types for unique problems and the importance of proper boundary conditions and constraints. Several other topics may include theory of elasticity, shape functions, interpolation methods, constant strain triangles, convergence criteria, virtual work, and energy methods.

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
