THIS IS A PRE EXAM EXERCISE. MY PROFESSOR JUST EVALUATED IT, BUT HE DID NOT GAVE THE ANSWERS. HELP ME TO SOLVE IT, TO STUDY BASED ON THIS PROBLEM.NOT TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THE NUMBERS IN ORANGE, THEY BARE JUST THE POINTS OF EVALUATION. The plane truss is loaded with force P as shown below. Constants E and A for each bar are as
shown in the diagram. For E=2E+11Pa,A=7.85E-03m2,L=1m, and P=150kN :
a. Fill out Table 1(5 points).
45
b. Determine the global stiffness matrix of each element (15 points).
c. Determine the size of the overall stiffness matrix (5 points).
d. Assemble the overall stiffness matrix (40 points).
e. Determine the loads and boundary conditions (10 points).
f. Build the global stiffness equation {F}=[K]{u} applying loads and boundary
conditions. Leave the stiffness matrix expressed as K, e.g.,(10 points).?6%/10
{[F1x],[F2x],[vdots]}=EAL[K]{[u1],[v1],[vdots]}
g. Reduce the sparse matrix into the condensed matrix (15 points).815
