1. Using one 9/3 element determine stresses in cantilever plate due to a temperature rise of
. Assume plane strain conditions with the plate being 50 mm long, 20 mm wide at the
base, and 10 mm wide at the tip (Figure 1). Use the following material parameters: ,
, and . Report displacements and effective stresses at element
centroid.

2. Check to see if the following stress interpolation matrix is a reasonable choice for a 9/3
quadrilateral element:
3. The formulation for the 4/1 element discussed in the text can handle plane stress and plane
strain problem. Extend this formulation to analyze axisymmetric problems. Using only one
element based on this formulation compute stresses in a thick cylinder subjected to an internal
pressure of 1 MPa. The inner and outer diameters of the cylinder are 20 mm and 40 mm,
respectively. The cylinder is 30mm long. One end of the cylinder is fixed and other is free. Assume
that E = 200 GPa and = 0.499.
