Introduction to Finite Element Analysis
Problem 2 (30 points): For the bar fixed at both ends and subjected to the uniformly distributed loading shown in the figure, let and . a) determine the equivalent nodal forces for the uniformly distributed loading, considering the bar as two elements system. b) obtain the global stiffness matrix. c) determine the displacement at the middle of the bar.
