X=0 x = 1/2 x= L u U2 Uz (a) Trial solution for a 1-D quadratic elastic bar element can be written as follows: ū(x) = [N]{u} where, [N] = [N1 N2 N3] and {u} u2 13 1 and Ni L2 L2 [N] and {u} are known as interpolation function matrix and nodal displacement, respectively. (272 – 3L + L´), N= = (22- La), Ns = 12 (2=– LE) Derive the expression for element stiffness matrix, (Kelem) and element force...
Solve the following truss problem. All truss members are ANSI 2x2x0.25 hollow square tubes (with rounded corners) for which the cross-section area is A-1.5891 in2. The material has a modulus of E-29E6 psi. Length of element 1 and 5 is L-20 inches, and length of element 3 and 6 is 2L 40 inches. 7 5 6 P-1000 lb 2. 1. Solve in an Excel spreadsheet using the truss element. Note that there are only four different element stiffness matrices (look...
1. Consumer’s utility function is: U (X,Y) = 10X + Y. Consumer’s income M is 40 euros, the price per unit of good X (i.e. Px ) is 5 euros and the price per unit of good Y (i.e. Py) is 1 euro. a) What is the marginal utility of good X (MUx) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUx = 10) b) What is the marginal utility of good Y (MUy) for the consumer? ( Answer: MUy = 1) c)...
