Problem 3
Solve step by step using legible handwriting, if you wish you can use python. Explaining
the transformation matrices, and writing the formulas
The structure shown in Figure P4.14 is made of steel (E: 2*108kNm2) and is made
up of three flat truss-type elements of constant cross section and a spring. The element
that goes from node 1 to 2 has a cross-sectional area of 25 cm 2, the element that goes from
node 1 to 3 has an area of 20 cm 2, and the element that goes from node 2 to 3 has an area
of 30 cm 2. Use the stiffness method to:
A). Calculate the value of the stiffness of the spring (element that goes from node 4 to 2) so
that the vertical displacement of node 2 is 0.19641 mm upwards
b) For the value of the spring stiffness calculated in the previous section, calculate the
displacements of all nodes in global coordinates
c) Reactions in global coordinates.
d) Axial force in each bar
