PROBLEM 1. The figure shows equal and opposite temperature changes at the upper and lower surfaces of the flexural (beam) element. At the upper surface the temperature change varies linearly from zero at node 1 to DeltaT_(2) at node 2 ; and at he lower surface the variation is from zero at node 1 to -DeltaT_(2) at node 2. Determine the equivalent load vector {f_(T)} due to these temperature changes, assuming a linear temperature gradient through the depth d .
