Question: A two - bar planar truss structure has the geometry as shown in Figure Q 1 . A concentrated force P = 2 0 0

A two-bar planar truss structure has the geometry as shown in Figure Q1. A concentrated force P=200kN is applied to the truss at joint C , in the direction shown. Member AC is made of steel )=(200GPa and has cross-sectional area of 1200mm2 while member BC is made of aluminum )=(70GPa with cross-sectional area of 1500mm2. By using point A,B, and C as node 1,2, and 3, respectively, the nodal coordinates and the elements connectivity are chosen as shown in the following tables:
