Question

Using the stiffness method, determine the axial forces within members and the displacements of joints of the truss shown in the Figure 1. The truss was built using 50 mm x 50 mm x 3 mm SHS with E= 200 GPa (approx). (Cross members BD and CE are not connected at the middle)

(a) Show local stiffness matrices for each member and the assembled global stiffness matrix. Show your step by step solution. (30 Marks)

20kN 10 kN 18 kN Not connected 30 12 kN 5m (b) Use an appropriate method to solve the matrix if necessary (e.g. inverse matrices). (20 marks) and tabulate the results
