Question: The Figure shows a structure with relative dimensions as given, loading and materials indicated. The horizontal member a b c is fixed at point a
The Figure shows a structure with relative dimensions as given, loading and materials indicated. The
horizontal member is fixed at point pinjointed to the inclined member at point and pin
jointed to the vertical member at Find the following requirements:
a The appropriate type of element, DOFnode
and number of elements to model member eb
b The reduced stiffness equations for
member eb
c The appropriate type of elem., DOFnode
and number of elements to model member
abc.
d The unreduced global lumped load vector.
NB: identify reaction at nodes as where
is the type of reaction, ie or ; is the
node number; and is the coordinate
direction
e The reduced stiffness equations for
member abc.
f The reduced global stiffness matrix for the node at pointb
g The consistent and lumped load vectors for beam abc.
h Solve for the displacements in the structure.
plz solve ef g and h only
