Practice Problems:
Q.1 Consider the four-bar truss shown in figure. For the given data, find the stress in each element,
reaction forces, nodal displacement. E = 210 GPa and A= 0.1 m2

Q.2 For the three – bar truss shown in Fig. determine the nodal displacements and the stress in each
member. Find the support reactions also. Take modulus of elasticity as 200 GPa.

Q.3 Obtain the forces in the plane truss shown in Fig. and determine the support reactions also. Use
finite element method. Take E = 200 GPa and A = 2000 mm2

Title: Plate with hole – Structural Linear Analysis.


Aim: To determine the nodal displacements, element stresses developed in2-D plate with
hole by hand calculation and software tool
Objectives:

1. To obtain the nodal displacements and element stresses in 1-D stepped Bar using software tool
Theory:

The rectangular plate finite element has four nodes, one at each corner, as shown in Figure3.
Each node has six degrees of freedom (Dx, Dy, Dz, Rx, Ry, and Rz). The rotation, R z, is
referred to as the drilling rotation (ref. 1).
The plate element combines the membrane (in plane) and bending (out of plane) actions.
Element stiffness is calculated based on the following assumptions

1. The x-y plane is the mid surface of the plate element.

2. Deformations are small and the resulting displacements do not significantly change the
geometry of the wall.

3. The membrane and bending deformations are uncoupled.

4.Bending behavior follows the thin plate theory (Kirchhoff theory).

5. Plane sections initially normal to the mid-surface remain plane and normal to that surface
after bending.

6. The stress component normal to the mid-plane is small compared to other stress
components and is neglected.

7. The plate element material is homogeneous, elastic, isotropic, and obeys Hooke’s law.

If second order analysis is requested, the stiffness terms related to the bending action are
modified to include the effect of in-plane internal forces
When locating reinforcement within a plate element, the program refers to the left face and
right face. The left face of the panel is defined as the face to the left of the plate center line
when looking along the positive X-axis.
