A steel bar with a length of 2 meters and a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m² is subjected to an axial load of 1000 N. Calculate the axial deformation using the stiffness matrix method.
💡 Hint: Remember to use Young's modulus for steel in your calculations.
A truss structure consists of three members forming a right triangle. The lengths are 3m, 4m, and 5m, with loads applied at the joints. Using the element stiffness matrix, demonstrate how you would analyze this using FEM.
💡 Hint: Break the problem down into smaller sections and apply basic truss analysis principles.
