Problem (Beam with segments of different cross section areas and different materials)
The beam has 3 segments. The first one is from the wall to point of application of F. The second segment is from F to the
left roller support. The last segment is between the 2 roller supports.
Cross section areas of the first and the third segments are bh. Cross section area of the second segment is 2*bh.
Materials of the first and the third segments have Poisson's ratio =0.3,E=2*107Ncm2(i.e.,200 GPa ). Material of the
second segment has Poisson's ratio =0.33,E=2.1*107Ncm2(i.e.,210 GPa ).
Given a=300cm,b=3cm,h=4cm,F=100N,qmax=5Ncm.
Use 50 elements for the first segment, 50 elements for the second segment, and 60 elements for the last segment.
a) Plot the deformed structure.
b) Determine the reaction forces and moments at supports.
c) Draw (plot) the shear force and bending moment diagrams.
Write up a report stating your answers including screenshots. Explain all the command lines in the code like what is shown in
the screenshot in the Hint below.
