Exercise 1 (Commands used in the .m-file)
A procedure to create the .m-file for Exercise 1a
• Define the matrices: Coord, Dof, Edof etc.
• Use [Ex,Ey]=coordxtr(Edof,Coord,Dof,nen); %Element coordinates
• Use eldraw2(Ex,Ey,[1 3 0],Edof(:,1)); % Plot the element mesh
• Use D = hooke(ep(1),2.1E11,0.3); % Define the material matrix
• Define different matrices as global stiffness matrix K, global load vector f,
boundary condition matrix bc etc.
• Create a for-loop over all elements to calculate the global element matrix and
the global load vector:
for ii=1:NEL %A loop over all elements
[Ke,fe]=planre(Ex(ii,[1 3]),Ey(ii,[1 3]),ep,D,eq); %Element stiffness matrix
[K,f] = assem(Edof(ii,:),K,Ke,f,fe); %Global stiffness matrix
end %End of loop
• Use solveq(); to solve the equation system
• Use extract(); to eliminate nodal displacements for all elements
• Create a for-loop over all elements and use
[es(jj,:),et(jj,:)]=planrs(Ex(jj,[1 3]),Ey(jj,[1 3]),ep,D,ed(jj,:)); to calculate
the stress and strains for all the elements.
• Use eldisp2(Ex,Ey,ed,[2,4,1],100); to draw the deformed structure
• Use [magnf]=elprinc2(Ex,Ey,es(:,[1 2 3]));
• elprinc2(Ex,Ey,es(:,[1 2 3]),[1 2],magnf); to plot the principle stresses
