Question: 2 0 points - Using Matlab, solve the nodal displacements, support reactions, and internal forces Material: Douglas Fir E = 1 3 . 1 GPa

20 points - Using Matlab, solve the nodal displacements, support reactions, and internal forces Material: Douglas Fir
E=13.1GPa
v=0.29
Member cross section:
height =6cm
width =6cm
of the 2D truss system given above. Again, assume that the supports are one roller and one pin.
Submit the following items:
a. The sketch of the truss model and the numbering of elements and nodes
b. The stiffness matrix of truss element - before coordinate transformation
c. The element stiffness matrix after transformation - for the diagonal, vertical, and
horizontal elements (one for each element)
d. Global stiffness matrix and reduced matrix after the application of boundary conditions
e. Reduced stiffness matrix after the application of boundary conditions
f. Nodal displacement solution (node number and displacements in x and Y directions).
g. Support reactions and verification using force balance law.
h. List of element numbers and corresponding internal forces
i. On your scripts, include comments explaining the lines
