CHAP 4 FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BEAMS AND FRAMES 1 INTRODUCTION • We learned Direct Stiffness Method in Chapter 2 – Limited to simple elements such as 1D bars • we will learn Energy Method to build beam finite element – Structure is in equilibrium when the potential energy is minimum • Potential energy: Sum of strain energy and potential of applied loads Potential of • Interpolation scheme: U V applied loads Strain energy v(x) N(x) {q} Beam Interpolation Nodal deflection function DOF 2 BEAM THEORY • Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory – can carry the transverse load – slope can change along the span (x-axis) – Cross-section is symmetric w.r.t. xy-plane – The y-axis passes through the centroid – Loads are applied in xy-plane (plane of loading) y y Neutral axis Plane of loading x z A L F F 3 BEAM THEORY cont. • Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory cont. – Plane sections normal to the beam axis remain plane and normal to the axis after deformation (no shear stress) – Transverse defl
