Chapter 2, Problem 19E

A bar in the figure is under the uniformly distributed load q due to gravity. For a linear elastic material with Young’s modulus E and uniform cross-sectional area A, the governing differential equation can be written as A E = d 2 u d x 2 + q = 0 , where u ( x ) is the downward displacement. The bar is fixed at the top and free at the bottom. Using the Galerkin method and two equal-length finite elements, answer the following questions.

a. Starting from the above differential equation, derive an integral equation using the Galerkin method.

b. Write the expression of boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = L . Identify whether they are essential or natural boundary conditions.

c. Derive the assembled finite element matrix equation, and solve it after applying boundary conditions.

Differential equation THE LAPLACE METHOD CANNOT BE USED. When two springs in series, with constants k1 and k2 respectively,support a mass, the effective spring constant is calculated as:k = k1*k2 / k1+k2 A 420 g object stretches a spring 7 cm, and that same object stretches 2.8 cmanother spring. Both springs are attached to a common rigid support and then toa metal plate, as shown in the figure of springs in series. Then the object joins thecenter of the plate (figure of springs in series). Determine: (a) the effective spring constant.(b) the position of the object at any time t, if the object is initially releasedfrom a point 60 cm below the position ofequilibrium and with an upward velocity of 1.2 m / s.Consider the acceleration of gravity as 9.8 m / s2.
