Q.2. Two cylindrical rods, one of steel and the other of brass, are joined at C and restrained by rigid
supports at A and E. Using bar/truss element, develop stiffness matrix, nodal displacement vector, and
nodal force vector and analyse
nalyse the system.
system Determine (a) the deformation of point C, (b) the reactions at A
and E. Verify the results using other method. The loading is as shown and, Es = 200 GPa,
GPa Eb = 105 GPa.
