PROBLEM NO. 2 25 points max. B 3A A C D A H k P L 2L Given: Consider the structure above that is made up of rod segments BC and DH, a spring of stiffness k and rigid connectors C and D. The two rod segments are made up of the same material having a Young s modulus of E. Segment BC has a tapered cross section, with the cross-sectional area varying linearly from 3A at B to A at C. Segment DH has a constant cross-sectional area of A over its length. The spring joining connectors C and D has a stiffness of k = 4EA / L. A load of P acts to the right on connector C. It is desired to set up and solve a finite element model of the system, with segments BC and DH each being represented by a single element. This model will have four nodes: B, C, D and H. Find: For this problem, a) Draw a free body diagram of the entire system (BC, DH and the spring). Include all forces acting on the system, including both applied and reaction forces. b) Write down the stiffnesses of segments BC and DH in terms of E, A and L. c) Write down the (4x4) stiffness matrix [K] for the system corresponding to the axial displacements of nodes B, C, D and H. d) Write down the forcing vector {F}, where {F} has a length of 4. e) Enforce the boundary conditions on [K] and {F}. f) Solve for the displacements of nodes C and D. g) Determine the stress in element DH.
