1 Question
In a four noded linear plane element, the uniform surface traction along side ② and ③ is applied
lb
with intensity 2000 psi ( 2 ). The element thickness h is 0.1 in. Find equivalent nodal forces in lb.

Solution
R - load vector
p - distributed load
Z
R= NT p ds (1)
surf ace
(Lecture 5)
Load vector R = {R2 R3 }, all other components are 0.
To compute the nodal equivalent of the surface load, the surface integral is replaced by the line
integration along element side.
