One consider a rod element articulated there O in uniform rotation in the plan XOY (angular speed ).
The bar is of length L, of module of Young E, of section A and of linear mass (see figure).
A. Analytical solution:
1. Calculate the acceleration in every position of the bar, as well as the centrifugal force.
2. Establish the equilibriums equation, the behavior law and the boundaries conditions.
3. Solve the problem analytically to obtain the displacement in every position.
B. Finite Elements Method with one single element
1. Calculate the stiffness elementary matrix and the second member vector from the internal and
external virtual works.
2. Establish the system of equations with the principle of the virtual works and introduce the boundaries
conditions into the system.
3. Solve the problem and compare the results to those found in A.
