Question: A CST structure is subjected to a compressive traction acting on the top edge and a concentrated force F at the top of the right

A CST structure is subjected to a compressive traction acting on the top
edge and a concentrated force F at the top of the right edge, as shown in the
figure below. Use the following values: E=30\times 10^(6)\psi ,
u =0.3,\iota =100in,
L=10in,H=5in,s_(2)=10ksi, and F=750kip.
(a) Compute all the nodal displacements. Clearly identify their respective
units.
(b) Compute the element stress components \sigma _(x),\sigma _(y), and \tau _(xy). Clearly iden-
tify their respective units.
(c) Compute the element planar principal stresses \sigma _(1^(')) and \sigma _(2^(')). Clearly
identify their respective units.
(d) Compute the element Von Mises and Tresca effective stresses. Clearly
identify their respective units.
