Question: Problem 1 : Given the following 2 rod elements : The stiffness for each element is k i = A i E i L I

Problem 1: Given the following 2 rod elements :
The stiffness for each element is ki=AiEiLI whre A is the cross-sectional area, E is the
Young's modulus and L is the rod length. For the following values:
For left element : A1=0.050m2,E1=70GPa,L1=1m,
For right element : A2=0.050m2,E2=210GPa,L2=0.50m
Find:
a)u2= displacement of node 2 in x direction
b) Stress in elements 1&2
Hint: Set up K (stiffness matrix), solve for displacements in Kd=F
