CALCULATION OF ELEMENT STRESS

Element stress,
σ = E du/dx

For Element 1,
σ1 = E1 * u2 – u1/ L1

For Element 2,
σ2 = E2 * u3 – u2/ L2

If E1 and E2 are same material,


Then, E = E1 = E2
σ = E * u/ L
Example problem

A1 = 4mm2; E1 = 15 * 106 N/mm2; L1 = 200mm


A2 = 2mm2; E2 = 10 * 106 N/mm2; L2 = 200mm

Calculate the nodal displacement.
