    The document summarizes a finite element method problem to determine the nodal displacements and axial stresses in a steel rod subjected to compression and modeled by two bar elements. The global stiffness matrix is assembled and the boundary and load conditions are applied to solve for the nodal displacements U2 and U3. These displacements are then used to calculate the axial stresses σ1 and σ2 in each element, found to be -24 MPa and -48 MPa, respectively. Additional concerns that should be examined include deformation, stability, and failure of the rod under the compressive loads.

    FINITE ELEMENT METHOD SAMPLE PROBLEM

    3. A steel rod subjected to compression is modeled by two bar elements, as shown in Figure P2.10
    Determine the nodal displacement and the axial stress in each element. What other concerns
    should be examined?

    Given Data:
    E= 207 Gpa or 20.7 x104 N/mm2
    A= 500 mm2 or 500 mm2
    L= 0.5 m or 500 mm

    k ; k1 = k2

    Global Matrix:

    k1 -k1 0 207 -207 0


    K= -k1 k1 + k2 -k2 = -207 414 ####
    0 -k2 k2 0 -207 207

    KU = F K U F
    207 -207 0 U1 F1
    -207 414 -207 k U2 = F2
    0 -207 207 U3 F3

    Apply Boundary and Load conditions:

    207 -207 0 0 F1
    -207 414 -207 k U2 = 0
    0 -207 207 U3 -12
    Applying the displacement constraint U1 = 0, obtains

    207 -207 0 0 F1
    -207 414 -207 U2 = 0
    0 -207 207 U3 -12

    New matrix will be:

    414 -207 U2 0
    =
    -207 207 U3 -12

    Solving for U2 and U3 :

    0.0048309179 0.0048309179 0
    0.0048309179 0.0096618357 -12

    U2 = -0.057971014 mm
    U3 = -0.115942029 mm
