Compute work-equivalent nodal forces for a linearly distributed load applied to the two-node bar element shown above. The distributed load is given by x - Xi i ) + q ₁² x - Xi L q=9₁ (1- L where q; and q, are the values of the distributed load at the end nodes, x is the coordinate indicated above and L is the length of the element. To receive full credit, use finite element shape functions and the expression for the virtual work of distributed load q. -
