Compute work-equivalent nodal forces for a linearly distributed load applied to the two-node bar element shown above. The distributed load q(x) = 750x kN/m x = L x = 0 Ao AL L Take E=200 GPa, L=2.0 m, Ao=15cm², A₂=5cm². (a) Use two bar elements of the same length • Compute nodal displacements; • Plot the axial displacement (y-axis) versus the position along the bar (x-axis). (b) Use four bar elements of the same length • Compute nodal displacements; • Plot the axial displacement (y-axis) versus the position along the bar (x-axis). (c) Compare cases (a) and (b) and briefly explain why the plots are different.
