## Problem 2.5: Finite Analysis Of A Spring System

Spring-mass-dashpot system[1]
Spring-mass-dashpot system[2]

The free body diagram is defined by the matrix

 EDU>> Edof=[1 1 2;2 2 3;3 2 3];


Next, create the load force matrix

 EDU>> f=[0 100 0];


Next each element stiffness matrix is created

 EDU>> K= [0 0 0;0 0 0;0 0 0];
EDU>> k=1500;
EDU>> ep1=k;
EDU>> ep2=2*k;
EDU>> Ke1=springle(ep1);
EDU>> Ke2=springle(ep2);


Now we create the global stiffness matrix

 EDU>> K=assem(Edof(1,:),K,Ke2);
EDU>> K=assem(Edof(2,:),K,Ke1);
EDU>> K=assem(Edof(3,:),K,Ke2);


Boundary conditions are now applied

 EDU>> bc=[1 0; 3 0];
EDU>> [a,r]=solveq(K,f,bc);


Displacements are found:

 EDU>> ed1=extract(Edof(1,:),a)
ed1 =
0      0.0133
EDU>> ed2=extract(Edof(2,:),a)
ed2 =
0.0133      0
EDU>> ed3=extract(Edof(3,:),a)
ed3 =
0.0133      0


Spring forces are evaluated

 EDU>> es1=spring1s(ep2,ed1)
es1 =
40
EDU>> es2=spring1s(ep1,ed2)
es2 =
-20
EDU>> es3=spring1s(ep2,ed3)
es3 =
-40



By hand:

 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle f=kd}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle f=force}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle k=stiffness}$
${\displaystyle \displaystyle d=displacement}$

In matrix form:

${\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}f_{1x}\\f_{2x}\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}k&-k\\-k&k\\\end{bmatrix}}{\begin{bmatrix}d_{1x}\\d_{2x}\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

First we create a matrix to show the systems Degree of Freedoms.

The first column represents each spring(#1,#2,#3). The second and third column represent the connectivity of each node.

${\displaystyle DOF={\begin{bmatrix}1&1&2\\2&2&3\\3&2&3\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

The following is a matrix of the Force vector

${\displaystyle F={\begin{bmatrix}F_{1x}\\F_{2x}\\F_{3x}\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

Next we need each element stiffness matrix for every spring:

Element stiffness matrix for Spring #1:

${\displaystyle k_{1}={\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000\\-3000&3000\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000&0\\-3000&3000&0\\0&0&0\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

Element stiffness matrix for Spring #2:

${\displaystyle k_{2}={\begin{bmatrix}1500&-1500\\-1500&1500\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&1500&-1500\\0&-1500&1500\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

Element stiffness matrix for Spring #3:

${\displaystyle k_{3}={\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000\\-3000&3000\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&3000&-3000\\0&-3000&3000\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

To get the global stiffness matrix, we add up each element stiffness matrix:

${\displaystyle K={\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000&0\\-3000&3000&0\\0&0&0\\\end{bmatrix}}+{\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&1500&-1500\\0&-1500&1500\\\end{bmatrix}}+{\begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\\0&3000&-3000\\0&-3000&3000\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000&0\\-3000&7500&-4500\\0&-4500&4500\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

Plugging each matrix into Hooke's Law we obtain:

${\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000&0\\-3000&7500&-4500\\0&-4500&4500\\\end{bmatrix}}{\begin{bmatrix}d_{1x}\\d_{2x}\\d_{3x}\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}F_{1x}\\F_{2x}\\F_{3x}\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

Because node one and three are attached to the wall, their displacements are zero:

 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle d_{1x}=0}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle d_{3x}=0}$

Now we solve the follwing equation:

${\displaystyle {\begin{bmatrix}3000&-3000&0\\-3000&7500&-4500\\0&-4500&4500\\\end{bmatrix}}{\begin{bmatrix}0\\d_{2x}\\0\\\end{bmatrix}}={\begin{bmatrix}F_{1x}\\F_{2x}\\F_{3x}\\\end{bmatrix}}}$

Solving the System we obtain the following equations:

 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle 3000*0-3000*d_{2x}+0*d_{3x}=F_{1x}}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle -3000*0+7500*d_{2x}-4500*d_{3x}=F_{2x}}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle 0*0-4500*d_{2x}+4500*d_{3x}=F_{3x}}$

Simplifying the above equations we obtain:

 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle -3000*d_{2x}=F_{1x}}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle 7500*d_{2x}-4500*d_{3x}=F_{2x}}$
 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle -4500*d_{2x}+4500*d_{3x}=F_{3x}}$

Solving we obtain:

 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle F_{1x}=40}$

Plugging this value in

 ${\displaystyle \displaystyle {\frac {40}{-3000}}=d_{2x}=-0.01333}$

Using substitution for the remaining values, we obtain magnitudes of:

${\displaystyle d_{1x}=0}$

${\displaystyle d_{2x}=0.01333}$

${\displaystyle d_{3x}=0}$

${\displaystyle F_{1x}=40}$

${\displaystyle F_{2x}=20}$

${\displaystyle F_{3x}=40}$
