Chapter 1, Problem 31E
Two bars are connected as shown in the figure. Assume all joints are frictionless pin joints. At node 2, a vertical spring is connected as shown. Both bars are of length L and have the same properties: Young’s modulus = L and area of cross section = A. The spring stiffness = k.
a. Set up the stiffness matrices for the two truss elements and the spring element.
b. Assemble the stiffness matrices to form the global stiffness matrix.
c. Compute the deflections at node 2, if a force

Find the Global Stiffness Matrix and node displacements for the following BAR structure
For the spring system shown in the above figure, determine the displacement of each node. In the figure, the unit for the stiffness k is pound (lb) per inch. The left side of the system is fixed to a rigid wall, while the right side is displaced 0.5 inch to the right. Put a node between the rigid wall on the left and spring 1. Use the element method to establish the element stiffness matrix and then the global stiffness matrix. Apply the boundary conditions and theloads (by modifying the appropriate rows of the matrix and load vector). Solve the set of linear equations either by hand or using Matlab, Mathcad or Maple.
- For the spring system given in Figure 1,
Create the element matrices as well as the global stiffness and force matrix, note that k=1.
