Bisect.m

[edit | edit source]

Bisect returns a zero of the function. fun is a string containing the name of a real-valued MATLAB function of a single real variable. x is a starting guess. Optional 3rd input is tol sets the accuracy of the result.

   function [b, steps] = bisect(fun, x, tol)
   if nargin < 3, tol = eps; end

Randint.m

[edit | edit source]

Randint returns an m by n matrix with random entries between a and b. If left empty, a=0 and b=9.

   function a = randint(m,n,a,b)
   if nargin < 3, a = 0; b = 9; end
   a = floor((b-a+1)*rand(m,n)) + a;

Stat.m

[edit | edit source]

For a vector x, the stat function returns the mean and standard deviation of x.

   function [mean, stdev] = stat(x)
   [m n] = size(x);
   if m == 1
       m = n;
   end
   mean = sum(x)/m;
   stdev = sqrt(sum(x.^2)/m - mean.^2);

Torus.m

Torus generates a plot of a torus with central radius a and lateral radius r. n controls the number of facets on the surface.

Problem R1.4

[edit | edit source]

“Description: Consider a plane truss consisting of three bars with the properties E = 200GPa, A1 = 6.0 x 10-4 m2, A2 = 3.0 x 10-4 m2, A3 = 10.0 x 10-4 m2, and loaded by a single force P = 80 kN. The corresponding finite element model consists of three elements and eight degrees of freedom.” (calfem p.234)

The first step is to define a topology matrix: Edof

>> Edof = [1,1,2,5,6;2,5,6,7,8;3,3,4,5,6]

Edof =

    1     1     2     5     6
    2     5     6     7     8
    3     3     4     5     6

K is the stiffness matrix and f is the force matrix

>> K = zeros(8);

>> f = zeros(8,1);

>> f(6)=-80e3

f =

          0
          0
          0
          0
          0
     -80000
          0
          0


E is the modulus of elasticity. A1, A2, and A3 are the corresponding areas of each truss. Combined, we make the property matrices for each truss in the system, defined as ep1, ep2, and ep3.

>> E=2.0e11;

>> A1=6.0e-4;

>> A2=3.0e-4;

>> A3=10.0e-4;

>> ep1=[E A1]

ep1 =

 1.0e+011 *
   2.0000    0.0000


>> ep2=[E A2];

>> ep3=[E A3];


The coordinates of each connection of the truss system are defined below.

>> ex1=[0,1.6];

>> ex2=[1.6,1.6];

>> ex3=[0,1.6];

>> ey1=[0,0];

>> ey2=[0,1.2];

>> ey3=[1.2,0];


Using the calfem34 designed function bar2e, we are able to construct the element stiffness matrices as seen below.

>> Ke1=bar2e(ex1,ey1,ep1)


Ke1 =

 1.0e+007 *
   7.5000         0   -7.5000         0
        0         0         0         0
  -7.5000         0    7.5000         0
        0         0         0         0


>> Ke2=bar2e(ex2,ey2,ep2)


Ke2 =

 1.0e+007 *
        0         0         0         0
        0    5.0000         0   -5.0000
        0         0         0         0
        0   -5.0000         0    5.0000


>> Ke3=bar2e(ex3,ey3,ep3)

Ke3 =

   64000000   -48000000   -64000000   48000000
  -48000000    36000000    48000000  -36000000
  -64000000    48000000    64000000  -48000000
   48000000   -36000000   -48000000   36000000


The next step is to create the global stiffness matrix by using the topology and assem function.

>> K=assem(Edof(1,:),K,Ke1);

>> K=assem(Edof(2,:),K,Ke2);

>> K=assem(Edof(3,:),K,Ke3);

>> K

K =

 1.0e+008 *
   0.7500         0         0         0   -0.7500         0         0         0
        0         0         0         0         0         0         0         0

        0         0   -0.4800    0.3600    0.4800   -0.3600         0         0

Using the physical displacements for this problem, the solveq function is used to solve the system of equations for the displacement vector a and the support force vector r.

>> bc= [1,0;2,0;3,0;4,0;7,0;8,0];

>> [a,r]=solveq(K,f,bc)

a =

        0
        0
        0
        0
  -0.0004
  -0.0012
        0
        0


r =

 1.0e+004 *
   2.9845
        0
  -2.9845
   2.2383
   0.0000
   0.0000
        0
   5.7617


The normal forces for section 1, 2, and 3 are calculated using the bar2s function that came with the calfem34 toolbox.

>> ed1=extract(Edof(1,:),a);

>> N1=bar2s(ex1,ey1,ep1,ed1)

N1 =

-2.9845e+004

>> ed2=extract(Edof(2,:),a);

>> N2=bar2s(ex2,ey2,ep2,ed2)

N2 =

 5.7617e+004

>> ed3=extract(Edof(3,:),a);

>> N3=bar2s(ex3,ey3,ep3,ed3)

N3 =

 3.7306e+004

Making a FBD of joint A,F,D,E and summing forces in the x and y direction we can solve for the axial forces in the two force members. Using this force and the known cross sectional area we can solve for the stiffness.

Joint A FBD:
