4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a bar element?
Think about structural components that primarily experience tension or compression.
What does the stiffness matrix do?
Consider how much a structure flexes under a load.
What is the governing relationship for a bar element?
Think about how force is related to how much an element stretches.
True or False: A stiffness matrix can be used to predict how a bar element will respond to external loads.
Remember what the stiffness matrix represents.
Design a bar element model with a specific Young's Modulus and cross-sectional area. Calculate the deformation when a known axial load is applied.
Start by identifying all the values you know: force, E, A, and length.
Create a two-dimensional framework using multiple bar elements. Describe how to set boundary conditions and conduct a finite element analysis.
Consider where you might want to allow movement versus where to restrain it.
