Answer any FIVE question, Choosing at least two from each part
PART A
1. Solve the following system silmultaneous equation by Gauss elimination method.
X1-2x2+6x3=0
2x1+2x2+3x3=3
-x1+3x2=2
2. For the Truss element shown in figure 1, (x, y) Co-ordinates of the element are indicated near
nodes 1, 2. The element diaplacement vector is given by
{U}= [1.5, 1, 2.1, 4.3]T * 10-2 mm , take E= 300e3 N/mm2 A=100mm2 . Determine element
displacement in local co-ordinates (u1 & u2) and stress in each element
3. Derive the Harmite shape functions for a beam element
4. Figure 2 shows a simply supported beam subjected to a UDL. Obtain nodal displacement vector.
Take E= 200 Gpa and I = 2e6 mm4.
PART B
1. Consider the 3bar shown in figure 3. Determine the nodal displacement and stress for any one
element. Take A1=1500 mm2, A2= A3= 2000 mm2, and E=200 Gpa.
2. For the truss shown in figure 4, Determine the nodal displacement and reaction. Take E=
200Gpa.
3. Determine the unknow displacement for the structure shown in figure 5. Take E=0.7*e5 Mpa and
A= 200 mm2
4. For the two bars shown in figur 6, Determine the nodal displacement.Take E=210 Gpa and
A= 600 mm2 for each elements.
