The assembly is completed by making the nut ‘‘fingertight.’’ The dimensions of the reduced segment of the bolt (length b and cross-sectional area A) are designed so that the segment will yield when the temperature of the assembly is increased by 200°F. Write an algorithm that determines the relationship between A/A0 and b/L that satisfies this design requirement. Plot A=A0 against b/L from b/L = 0 to 1.0. Use the properties of steel and aluminum shown in the figure.arrow_forwardWhat is the size of the stiffness matrix of a 4-node quadrilateral element?arrow_forward

- Find the Global Stiffness Matrix and node displacements for the following BAR structurearrow_forwardPROBLEMFor the plane truss given below, using the Matrix Stiffness Analysis method, determine;• Determine displacements of the joints• Determine the forces in the truss members• Determine the support reactionsNote that the whole system has 4 nodes and hence 8 degrees of freedom. These degrees of freedomsare shown (in their positive directions) on the right hand side of the problem picture (1 to 8). So, thesystem stiffness matrix, K, will be 8x8 in size.Force and displacement units should be consistent (mm’s and N’s for example)arrow_forwardThe figure shows a rigid bar that is supported by a pin at A and two rods, one made of steel and the other of bronze.
