The model shown in Figure Q1 represents a support system of a machine. Q1 a) Suggest a suitable type of element and number of element to determine the deflections and the rotations of the system by using FEM. (5 marks) b) Sketch the finite element representation of the system. Label and indicate all node numbers, element numbers, constraints and loadings. (4 marks) c) T Using the values given in Figure Q1 and Direct Elimination Method, analyse the deflections and rotations at all nodes. Note that A is 5900 N. 4 m 2000 N/m EI 40 x 106 Nm (16 marks) x k = 50 kN/m 5 m
