Problem 1: (Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems.)
The figure shows a beam element with the following properties:
E=200 GNm2,I = 5-l0m4, L = 4m, A=250 mm2
and a bar element with:
A = 500 mm2, E 200 GNm2.
Find:
1. The stiffness matrix of each clement in the local (element) coordinate system.
2. The rotated element stiffness matrix (where needed).
3. Thc global stiffness matrix.
4. The constrained (reduced) stifihess matrix.
5. The displacement components of node 2.
Problem 2:
