Consider a beam (of Young's modulus E, area of cross-section A, moment of inertia I, and length L ) with its left end ( x=0) clamped and its right end ( x=L ) supported vertically by a linear elastic spring with spring constant k . The beam has a tip force P applied as shown. Neglect the weight of the beam. Use a single beam finite element
a. Set up the stiffness matrix and force vector for the problem
b. Solve for the tip displacement.
c. Find the reactions at node 1
Consider a beam ( of Young's modulus E , area of
