Solved Examples Solid Meachnics

The document discusses element stiffness matrices and stresses in finite element analysis. It provides the equations to calculate: 1) The element stiffness matrix K using the strain-displacement matrix B, material property matrix D, and area A. 2) The element stresses σx, σy, and τxy using the strain-displacement matrix B, material property matrix D, and nodal displacements u. 3) It then applies these equations to calculate the stresses within a plane strain element given the element geometry, material properties, and nodal displacements.

Examples
1. For a plane strain elements shown in Figure P.7, the nodal displacements are
determined as u1 = 0.005 mm, v1 = 0.002 mm, u2 = 0.00 mm, v2 = 0.00 mm, u3 = 0.005
mm and v3 = 0.00 mm. Determine the element stresses. Take E = 70 GPa and υ = 0.3,
and use unit thickness for plane strain. All coordinates are in millimeters.

Coordinates of each node and corresponding coefficients of the linear interpolation functions are
given as

x1= 10 ×10-3 y1 = 10×10-3 x2= 20×10-3 y2 = 10×10-3 x3= 10×10-3 y3 = 25×10-3
