hello sir,
At timestamp 10:06, why is {δu_E}ᵀ taken outside the integral? I was expecting it to be inside like in the earlier internal force expressions.

Hi @Gopika_Chincholi_Atu - I’m can’t quite relate the question you’ve asked to the timestamp you provide for this lecture. Would you mind clarifying your question (is your timestamp/lecture number correct)?

Thanks,
Seán
