Question: Problem 5 . 1 Consider a heat conduction problem in the domain [ 0 , 2 0 ] m . The bar has a unit

Problem 5.1
Consider a heat conduction problem in the domain [0,20]m. The bar has a unit cross section, constant
thermal conductivity k=5WC-1m-1 and a uniform heat source s=100Wm-1. The boundary
conditions are )=(0 and )=(20. Solve the problem with two equal linear
elements. Plot the finite element solution Th(x) and dThxdx and compare to the exact solution which is
given by T(x)=-10x2+400x.
For book problem 5.1 do it by hand first and then write a code to do it. The code should
have functions/subroutines to
compute the element shape functions and B matrix
compute element stiffness and loads
assemble the element matrices (it is fine to use the "L" matrices to do the assembly) into
the global matrices
