Question

For the plane frame structure made of two rigidly connected

elements with E= 2.5Mpsi, fixed at / and pinned at 2 loaded

with 2.5/b concentrated load at 3:

1) set-up and display element stiffness matrices for each element,

2) assemble and display global stiffness matrix equations,

3) apply boundary conditions and show the reduced global

stiffness matrix,

4) solve for unknown slopes (02, 03) and displacements (u3, V3),

5) solve for reactions in nodes 1 and 2.
