Finite element method Question 2 (40 marks) A micro-electrical-mechanical system consists of two members as shown below. It is important that the displacement of the slider is accurately known for a given force, F. To find the relation between displacement and F, it was decided to use FE method. Node 1 is fully constrained, node 2 is free to rotate and translate along the horizontal, and node 3 is only free to rotate. (a) Select the appropriate element types for...
