Q 1 :Model this structure on LISA :

Mod
el output for this structure on LISA :
Q 2: Find the Euler critical buckling load (Pcr) for each member.

The equation is :
π 2 EA
Pcr = 2
(L/r )

Pcr(EB) = Pcr(GB) = 20792.6 N

Pcr(CB) = Pcr(DB) = 37428.5 N
Pcr(EA) = Pcr(GA) = 91378 N
Pcr(CA) = 50766.85N
Pcr(BA) = 114211.2N

Q 3 : The largest three nodal displacements and their locations.

The maximum nodal displacement:

 Dis.magnitud x y z node

0 0 3 1.5 1
0 0 3 -1.5 2
0 0 0 1.5 3
0 0 0 -1.5 4
0.000322 3 0 0 5

Q 5 : Also include a plot of the deflected shape of the truss and a general
stress contour.
The elements CA,CB,DB,BA have compression stresses but there are safe
from buckling Because it did not reach the necessary level
