1. A skeleton structure is proposed for its suspension part of a motor sports car, as shown in Fig. 21. The three members are made from the same material having Young's modulus E and cross section area A and are hinged. Assuming the skeleton system is fixed at joint B and simply supported at joint C, and subjected to a downward vertical load P=100KN (a) determine the stiffness matrix for each of all three members, AB, AC and BC: (b) assemble the system stiffness matrix for the whole skeleton structure; (c) calculate the deflections of the structure at joints A and C using finite element method. The element stiffness matrix (k) can be given. csc-sc 141 $ -SC-s CSC s (each symbol having its customary meaning.) AE 600 400 (All dimensions in mm) Fig.Q1
