AML 706: Finite Element Methods and its Applications to
Marine
Due Date: 2nd April, 2025

Question 1
For the plane truss structure, as shown in Fig. (1), determine the displacement of node
2 and also determine the stress in each element. Given that area of the each bar used in
making truss is A = 30 × 10−4 m2 , modulus of elasticity of each bar is E = 9 GPa and
the value of L = 2.5 m

Question 2
For the truss shown in Fig. (2) solve for the horizontal and vertical components of
displacement at node 1 and determine the stress in each element. Also, verify force
equilibrium at node 1. All elements have (area)A = 8 × 10−4 m2 , modulus of elasticity
of each bar is E = 90 GPa and the value of L = 4 m

Question 3
For the truss shown in Fig. (3), solve for the horizontal and vertical components of
displacement at node 2 and node 3 and and also calculate the stress in each element
too. All elements have (area) A = 7.5 × 10−4 m2 and modulus of elasticity of each bar is
E = 75 GPa .

Question 3
For the truss shown in Fig. (4a) and Fig. (4b), determine the nodal displacements and
the stresses in each element. All elements have an area, A = 8 × 10−4 m2 and modulus of
elasticity of each bar is E = 200 GPa.Verify force equilibrium at node 1. The coordinates
of each node, in meters, are shown in the figure. All supports are ball-and-socket joints.
