Preface
A significant part of the book Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics lives in the problems at the back of each chapter. No student can hope to master the material covered in the book without solving at least some of these problems. An instructor who uses the book as a text for a course on structural mechanics may want to use these problems as a source of examples to illuminate points in the text or as a source of homework problems for the student to work out. This manual should relieve some of the burden of preparation of course materials. This manual provides detailed solutions to almost all of the 302 problems in Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics 2e. The style in which the solutions are presented is similar to the examples presented in the book, with narrative to help get from one step to the next as well as some discussion of the results. The notation agrees with that used in the book. In solving the problems it became quite apparent that a program like MATHEMATICAT is indispensable in carrying out some of the more tedious computations. For those problems that we used MATHEMATICAT we have provided a listing of the script. Most of these are fairly short, but might be useful to someone who is not very familiar with MATHEMATICAT.
The problems in Chapter 12, in almost every case, involve modifying the programs presented in the book. When I revised the book for the second edition I converted all fo the programs from FORTRAN to MATLAB. However, I have not found time to change the problem solutions. Therefore, those are still in FORTRAN. I have included the FORTRAN versions from the first edition of the book at the back so that you can follow the solutions presented. You can get the FORTRAN source, for the programs in the text as well as the programs in the solutions manual, from me. Make your request by e-mail to:
[email protected]. I will send you the files.

Preface
We have tried very hard to get the answers right and to get them into this book with the highest possible fidelity. Alas, I am sure some errors remain. Please forgive those errors. I would appreciate learning of the errors that you discover so that I can eliminate them in future editions. Putting this manual together was hard work, the burden of which I gladly shared with Ghadir Haikal, Cara (Liverant) Phillips, and Dan Turner. Ghadir managed to locate and organize the solutions to quiz problems that I had collected over the years. She then completed Chapters 1 through 5 while I did 6 through 12. The problems from the first edition were available to us as were the problems that Cara had typset from old hand-written examination solutions a few years ago. Dan proofread a large portion of the document. I would also like to (re)acknowledge the contributors to the solutions manual for the first edition: Ertugrul Taciroglu, Jiwon Kim, Eric Williamson, and Quihai (Ken) Zuo. The problems they worked out are still correct! I am pleased to acknowledge the contributions of Ghadir, Dan, Cara, Ertugrul, Jiwon, Eric and Ken to the preparation of this manual. Keith D. Hjelmstad

2. Let two vectors, u and v, have components relative to some basis as u = (5, −2, 1) and v = (1, 1, 1). Compute the lengths of the vectors and the angle between them. Find the area of the parallelogram defined by u and v.
The length of a vector can be computed as ‖ u ‖= u ⋅ u = ui ui. Thus, the lengths of the vectors can be compute as ‖ u ‖ = 25+4+1 = 30
‖ v ‖ = 1+1+1 = 3
The dot product of the vectors is u ⋅ v = 5−2+1 = 4 cos θ(u, v) = u ⋅ v∕ ‖ u ‖ ‖ v ‖ = 4∕ 30 3 ,
θ = 1.136 rad
The area of the parallelogram can be computed either of two ways: A = ‖ (u × v) ‖ = ‖ (−3, −4, 7) ‖ = 9+16+49 = 8.6023 A = ‖ (u × v) ‖ = ‖ u ‖ ‖ v ‖ sin θ = 30 3 sin(1.136 rad) = 8.6023
3. The vertices of a triangle are given by the position vectors a, b, and c. The components of these vectors in a particular basis are a = (0, 0, 0), b = (1, 4, 3), and c = (2, 3, 1). Using a vector approach, compute the area of the triangle. Find the area of the triangle projected onto the plane with normal n = (0, 0, 1). Find the unit normal vector to the triangle.

The projected vectors can be found as follows c′ = c − (c ⋅ n) n = (2, 3, 1) − 1(0, 0, 1) = (2, 3, 0) b′ = b − (b ⋅ n) n = (1, 4, 3) − 3(0, 0, 1) = (1, 4, 0) The area of the projected triangle can be computed as A2 =

(c) Find the unit normal vector to the triangle. n =

where ab is the vector pointing from a to b. Noting that a is located at the origin of the coordinate system, we find ab = b = (1, 4, 3)
ac = c = (2, 3, 1)
ac × ab = 2, 3, 1 × 1, 4, 3 = 5, −5, 5 ;

⇒ n = 1 (1, − 1, 1) 3
4. Let the coordinates of four points a, b, c and d be given by the following position vectors a=(1, 1, 1), b=(2, 1, 1), c=(1, 2, 2), and d=(1, 1, 3) in the coordinate system shown. Find vectors normal to planes abc and bcd. Find the angle between those vectors. Find the area of the triangle abc. Find the volume of the tetrahedron abcd.

5. Demonstrate that (u × v) ⋅ w = u i vj wk ε ijk from basic operations on the base vectors.
Equality can be demonstrated by simply substituting the component forms of the vectors into the triple scalar product, collecting the scalars to the front and recognizing the definition of the components of the permutation tensor. To wit, (u × v) ⋅ w = (u i ei × vjej) ⋅ wk e k = ui v j w k (ei × e j) ⋅ ek = u i v j wk Á ijk
6. Show that the triple scalar product is skew-symmetric with respect to changing the order in which the vectors appear in the product. For example, show that (u × v) ⋅ w = − (v × u) ⋅ w To generalize this notion, any cyclic permutation (e.g., u, v, w → w, u, v) of the order of the vectors leaves the algebraic sign of the product unchanged, while any acyclic permutation (e.g., u, v, w → v, u, w) of the order of the vectors changes the sign. How does this observation relate to swapping rows of a matrix in the computation of the determinant of that matrix?
For the case given the demonstration is straightforward as, by definition of the cross product, the vector u × v = −(v × u), i.e., a vector of the same magnitude, pointing in the opposite direction. The negative sign persists in the triple product. To see the more general case, consider the component form of the triple scalar product (u × v) ⋅ w = Á ijk u i vj w k To swap an entry, for example v and w we would have (u × w) ⋅ v = Á ijk u i wj v k = Á ikj ui v j w k Clearly, then, swapping entries in the triple scalar product is the same as swapping indices on the permutation tensor. A cyclic permutation of indices leaves the sign of

the product unchanged while an acyclic permutation changes the sign. Two successive acyclic permutations change the sign and then change it back and hence must be equivalent to a single cyclic permutation. The determinant of a matrix and the triple scalar product are equivalent because u × v ) ⋅ w = det
u v w
where the components of u, v, and w comprise the rows of the matrix. The effects of permutation of rows of the matrix on the determinant are clearly the same as swapping elements of the triple scalar product.
7. Use the observation that ‖ u−v ‖ 2 = u−v ⋅ u−v along with the distributive law for the dot product to show that u⋅v ≡
1 ‖ 2
u ‖ 2 + ‖ v ‖ 2 − ‖ v−u ‖ 2
The solution depends upon the computation of the length of u−v ‖ u − v ‖ 2 = u−v ⋅ u−v = u ⋅ u − 2u ⋅ v + v ⋅ v = ‖ u ‖ 2 − 2 u ⋅ v + ‖ v ‖2 Rearrange to give desired result. Note that ‖ u−v ‖ = ‖ v−u ‖.
8. Prove the Schwarz inequality, | u ⋅ v | ≤ ‖ u ‖ ‖ v ‖. Try to prove this inequality without using the formula u ⋅ v =‖ u ‖ ‖ v ‖ cos θ(u, v). Consider any two vectors u ≠ 0 and v ≠ 0 (equality holds if either one of the vectors is zero). The length of any vector is greater than or equal to zero. 0 ≤ ‖ α u+β v ‖ 2 = α u+β v ⋅ α u+β v = α 2 ‖ u ‖ 2 + 2α β u ⋅ v + β 2 ‖ v ‖ 2 Let α =‖ v ‖ 2 and β = −u ⋅ v. Making this specialization gives 2 2 0 ≤ ‖ α u+β v ‖ 2 = ‖ v ‖ 2 ‖ v ‖ 2 ‖ u ‖ 2 − 2 ‖ v ‖ 2 u ⋅ v + u ⋅ v ‖ v ‖ 2
= ‖ v ‖2 ‖ v ‖2 ‖ u ‖2 − u ⋅ v

Since ‖ v ‖ 2 ≥ 0 we can conclude that 0 ≤ ‖ v ‖2 ‖ u ‖2 − u ⋅ v 2
⇒
‖ v ‖2 ‖ u ‖2 ≥ u ⋅ v 2
9. Show that [u v] T = v u using the definition of the transpose of a tensor and by demonstrating that the two tensors give the same result when acting on arbitrary vectors a and b.
A tensor A has transpose AT defined by a ⋅ Ab = b ⋅ A Ta for any vectors a and b. Let A ≡ u v and proceed as follows: a ⋅ u v b = a ⋅ b ⋅ v u
By definition tensor product of vectors
= a ⋅ u b ⋅ v
Dot product is a scalar
= b ⋅ v a ⋅ u
Scalars are commutative
= b ⋅ a ⋅ uv
Dot product is a scalar
= b ⋅ v u a
By definition tensor product of vectors
Therefore AT = v u and hence [u v] T = v u.
10. Show that the components of a tensor T and its transpose TT satisfy [TT] ij = [T] ji.
a ⋅ Tb = a ⋅ T jk e j ek b
Component form of T
= Tjk a ⋅ ej e k b
Gather scalars to front

By identification with the penultimate line of the derivation we can observe that the components satisfy [TT] kj = [T] jk.
11. Show that the tensor TT T is symmetric.
A tensor A is symmetric if u ⋅ Av = v ⋅ Au for any vectors u and v. Let A ≡ T T T and proceed as follows: u ⋅ TT T v = u ⋅ T T Tv
By definition of composition of tensors
= Tu ⋅ Tv
By definition of transpose of tensor

By definition of transpose of tensor

By definition composition of tensors

12. Consider any two tensors S and T. Prove the following: (a) det T T = det T (b) det ST = det S det T (c) [ ST] T = T T ST (d) [ ST] −1 = T−1 S −1
(a) det T T = det T . The determinant of a tensor T can be computed from its components as det T = 16 T im Tjn T kp Á ijk Á mnp Noting that the components of TT are [ T T ] ij = T ji det T T = 16 Tmi T nj Tpk Á ijk Á mnp = 16 Tmi T nj Tpk Á mnp Á ijk Changing the dummy index i to m, j to n, k to p, and vice--versa ⇒ det TT = 16 T im Tjn T kp Á ijk Á mnp = det T

(b) det ST = det S det T . Recall that u × v ) ⋅ w = det

Therefore, we can compute the determinant of a tensor S as det ( S ) = det

where the components of a vector Si are S i ] j = S ij. Thus, we can compute the determinant of S as det S = S1 i S 2 j S3 k Á ijk = S1i S 2j S3k Á ijk det T = T1 i T 2 j T3 k Á ijk = T1i T 2j T3k Á ijk det S det T = S1i S 2j S3k Á ijk det T Note that Á ijk det T = Á ijk T 1p T2m T 3n Á pmn = T ip Tjm T kn Á pmn ⇒ det S det T = S 1i S2j S 3k Tip T jm Tkn Á pmn = ( S1i T ip ) ( S 2j Tjm )( S 3k Tkn )Á pmn = [ ST] 1p [ ST] 2m [ ST ] 3nÁ pmn = det ST (c) [ ST] T = T T ST. From the definition of the product of two tensors ST = S ik Tkj [ e i ej ] [ ST] T = S ik Tkj [ e j ei ] = Sjk T ki [ ei e j ] Similarly, TTS T = [ T T ] ik [ ST ] kj [ ei e j ] = Tki S jk [ ei e j ] = Sjk T ki [ ei e j ] = [ ST] T (d) [ ST] −1 = T−1 S −1. From the definition of the inverse of a tensor, for this relationship to hold, the following has to be true

[ ST] −1[ ST] = [ T−1 S−1 ][ ST] = I But, [ T −1 S−1 ][ ST ] = T−1 [ S −1 S ] T = T −1 [ I ] T = T −1 T = I ⇒ [ ST] −1 = T−1 S −1
13. Consider two Cartesian coordinate systems, one with basis {e1 , e2 , e3 } and the other with basis {g1, g2, g3}. Let Qij ≡ gi ⋅ e j be the cosine of the angle between gi and ej. (a) Show that gi = Qij e j and ej = Qij g i relate the two sets of base vectors. (b) We can define a rotation tensor Q such that ei = Qgi.

Show that this tensor can be expressed as Q T ≡ Qij [e j ei], that is, Qij are the components of Q T with respect to the basis [ ej e i]. Show that the tensor can also be expressed in the form Q T = [gi e i]. (d) Show that Q TQ = I, which implies that the tensor Q is orthogonal.

For the idendity Qik Qjk = δ ij to hold, the base vectors g 1, g 2, g 3 have to be orthogonal and of unit length. It can be observed that g1 and g2 are not orthogonal, which leads to the non--zero off diagonal terms in Q. The diagonal entries in Q are not equal to 1 because the base vectors are not of unit length.

First let n = 4, f 4(T) = tr(T4). According to the Cayley--Hamilton theorem T3 − I TT2 + II TT − III TT = 0 Operating on both sides with T T4 − I TT3 + II TT2 − III TT = 0 ⇒ T4 = I TT3 − II TT2 + III TT Taking the trace of both sides leads to f 4T) = trT4) = 2 I T III T − (II T) 2 Following a similar procedure we can find that T5 = I TT 4 − II TT 3 + III TT 2 f 5T) = I I f 4(T) = 2 I 2T III T − II 2T I T By extension, it can be seen that for any n ≥ 4 all of the invariants f n(T) can be computed from f 1(T), f 2(T), and f 3(T)

20. From any tensor T one can compute an associated deviator tensor Tdev which has the property that the deviator tensor has no trace, i.e., tr T dev = 0. Such a tensor can be obtained from the original tensor T simply by subtracting α ≡ 13 tr T times the identity from the original tensor, i.e., Tdev = T−α I. Show that tr T dev = 0. Show that the principal directions of Tdev and T are identical, but that the principal values of Tdev are reduced by an amount α from those of the tensor T.
(a) Show that tr T dev = 0. tr T′ = tr T−p I = tr T − 3p = tr T − tr T = 0 (b) Show that the principal directions of Tdev and T are identical, but that the principal values of Tdev are reduced by an amount α from those of the tensor T. Let m and n be a principal value and a principal direction of the stress tensor S. By definition, then Sn = m n. Now S = S′+p I. Therefore, the eigenvalue problem can be recast as S′+p I n = m n,
S′ n = m−p n
⇒
By definition of the eigenvalue problem we can observe that n is, indeed, a principal direction of the deviatoric stress tensor S′ corresponding to principal value m−p .
21. Consider a tensor T that has all repeated eigenvalues m 1 = m 2 = m 3 ≡ m. Show that the tensor T must have the form T = m I.
Let n1 , n2 , and n3 be eigenvectors of T. Further assume that these vectors are orthogonal (remember, if they are not already orthogonal they can always be orthogonalized by the Gram-Schmidt process). By the spectral decomposition theorem 3

23. Show that the determinant of the tensor T can be expressed as follows det T =
1 3 tr T − 12 I T tr T2 + 16 I T 3 3
where I T = tr T = T ii is the first invariant of T. Use the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
The Cayley-Hamilton theorem says that T3 − I T T 2 + II T T − III T I = 0 where I T = tr T, II T, and III T = det T are invariants of T. Taking the trace of the above expression gives tr(T3) − I T tr(T 2) + II T tr(T) − 3 det T = 0 Note that ( tr T) 2−tr(T2) = 2II T (one can show this identity with a component computation). Substituting for II T in the above expression gives tr(T3) − I T tr(T 2) + 12 I 2T−tr(T2) I T − 3 det T = 0 Finally, rearranging the expression we get det T =
1 tr(T 3) − 12 I T tr(T2) 3

As an alternate approach we can observe that if the identity is proven in one coordinate system then it is proven in all coordinate systems. Let us select the principal coordinates. Then tr(T3) = m 31+m 32+m 33 and tr(T2) = m 21+m 22+m 23 . Now we can compute det T =

a very familiar result from the integral calculus. (b) The two-dimensional version version is identical to the three-dimensional version if the domain B is interpreted as a planar region, the boundary Ω a closed curve in the plane. Also, let v(B) be the area of the domain, the integral over B an area integral, and the integral over Ω a line integral. With these reinterpretations of notation, the argument proceeds exactly as the three-dimensional case.

Let us compute the stretch in the direction of the vector m m ⋅ Cm = sin θ n1+ cos θ n 2 ⋅ C sin θ n1+ cos θ n 2 = sin θ n 1+ cos θ n2 ⋅ sin θ Cn 1+ cos θ Cn2 = sin θ n 1+ cos θ n2 ⋅ m 1 sin θ n 1+m 2 cos θ n 2 = m 1 sin 2 θ n1 ⋅ n 1 + m 2 cos 2 θ n 2 ⋅ n2 + m 1 + m 2 sin θ cos θ n1 ⋅ n 2 Since the eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are orthogonal, and, by definition, of unit length, we have n1 ⋅ n 2 = 0,
n1 ⋅ n 1 = n2 ⋅ n 2 = 1
⇒ λ2(m) = m ⋅ Cm = m 1 sin 2 θ + m 2 cos 2 θ It can be seen from this equation that, for θ = 0,
λ 2(m) = m 2
for θ = π 2,
λ 2(m) = m 1
for any 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π,
minm 1,m 2 ≤ λ 2(m) ≤ maxm 1,m 2
Therefore m 1 and m 2 are the extreme values of stretch (squared). This result can be further verified by plotting the stretch in the direction m as a function of θ as shown in the sketch below. λ2(m)

Prove that it is impossible to deform the vertex of a solid cube into a flat face (e.g., the deformation map shown in the sketch deforms the cube into a tetrahedron with the vertex at a deformed onto the flat plane).

Let N1, N2 and N3 be unit vectors normal to the three faces at point a in the undeformed configuration. These vectors are orthogonal by virtue of the initial geometry. These vectors deform to vectors n1, n2 and n3 according to ni = FNi If the corner is deformed to a flat face at a then n1 = n2 = n 3 ≡ n. Observe that (n × n) ⋅ n = 0. Therefore n 1 × n2 ⋅ n 3 = FN 1 × FN2 ⋅ FN3 = 0
Since N 1 × N2 ⋅ N 3 = 1 we have FN 1 × FN2 ⋅ FN = det F N 1 × N2 ⋅ N3 = det F
Thus, det F = 0, implying that a finite volume of material in the vicinity of the point a must be deformed to zero volume, which is impossible.

The Lagrangian strain tensor cannot have the same eigenvalues as the linearized strain tensor. However, for a rigid body motion they can have the same eigenvectors.

This problem is similar to the example in the text. The difference is that this beam is bent to a half-circle instead of a complete circle. Since the fiber along the initial z 1 axis does not change length we can determine the radius of the arc. The arc length is πR = 2π, implying that the radius is R = 2. The position of a point, say P in the sketch, is easily described in polar coordinates (r, θ). The position can be described as x1 = r cos θ− π2 ,
x 2 = R + r sin θ− π2
Since the arc length from the origin to the point P is z 1 and the radius of the arc is R = 2 we can compute the angle θ = z 1∕2. Furthermore, the radial distance to the

sin αz 3 e1+ cos αz 3 e2 is 1, therefore the radius of hub is 1. The wrapping goes according to a periodic function. The original distance required to make one cycle is z 3 = 2π∕α. The total number of wraps is the initial length ℓ divided by the distance per wrap. Therefore, the number of wraps N is given by N = ℓα∕2π. When ∆ z 3 = 2π∕α the wire makes a complete wrap. In this distance, the x3 coordinate advances by β ∆ z 3 = 2πβ∕α, which is the spacing between adjacent wires. (b) What is the length of the wire after it is wrapped?

Also, Cn = γ n − n ⋅ n n = γ−1 n Cm = γ m − m ⋅ n n = γ m if m ⊥ n (b) Find the stretch λ and the (scalar) Lagrangian strain E of the line ab. First we define a unit vector along the line ab in the undeformed configuration nab = 1 m+n , where m ⊥ n and m is a unit vector 2 Note that nab ⋅ n = nab ⋅ m = 1∕2 due to the orthonormality of m and n.

What makes this calculation complicated? Is the deformed area larger or smaller than the original area? What is the stretch of the sphere in the radial direction? What is the radius of the sphere after the deformation?
(a) Compute the ratio of the volume of the sphere after deformation to the volume of the sphere before deformation. To compute the ratio of the volumes we need the deteminant of the deformation gradient F φi = ( 1 + ε ) z i − ε nk zk n i ∂φi = ( 1 + ε ) δ ij − ε nk ni δ kj = ( 1 + ε ) δ ij − ε nk nj δ kj ∂z j ⇒ F = (1 + ε)I − εn n The eigenvalues of F can be easily determined. Note that Fn = γn. First consider m = n as a possible eigenvector Fn = ( 1 + ε ) n − ε n ⋅ n n = 1 n ⇒ γ1 = 1 Now consider m⊥n as a possible eigenvector Fm = ( 1 + ε ) m − ε m ⋅ n n = ( 1 + ε ) n ⇒ γ 2 = γ3 = ( 1 + ε ) Therefore det ( F) = (1 + ε ) 2

The normal vector in the undeformed configuration is simply m = z. Computing the inverse transpose of F is not particularly difficult. Executing the integral over the surface would be done in spherical coordinates, which may be difficult. The deformed area would be larger than the undeformed area because all of the principal stretches are larger than or equal to 1.

The principal values can be obtained by solving the characteristic equation with coefficients I S = 10, II S = −225, and III S = 0 as above. Note that, by Gershgorin’s theorem one of the eigenvalues must be zero because the off-diagonals corresponding to the zero diagonal are all zeros. Thus, the characteristic equation can be factored and reduced to a quadratic −m m 2−10m−225 = 0 The roots are m 1 = −10.8114, m 2 = 0, and m 3 = 20.8114. The corresponding principal directions are

and the body force b = 0, then the equations of equilibrium are satisfied for any sufficiently smooth function ψ(x1, x2). How smooth must the function be? The components of the stress tensor should satisfy the equilibrium equations ∂3ψ(x 1, x 2) ∂3ψ(x 1, x 2) − = 0 ∂x 1∂x22 ∂x 1∂x22

Noting that ∂(tr(S3))∕∂S = 3S2 and ∂(tr(S2))∕∂S = 2S we can compute the derivative of detS as follows:

∂ det S = S2 − I S − 1 tr(S 2) I + 1 I 2 I S 2 2 S ∂S = S2 − I S S + II S I where we have noted that 2 II S = I 2S−tr(S 2). One can see that the component form is the same as the direct form by multiplying the direct form by S as follows S ∂ det S = S3 − I S S 2 + II S S = III S I ∂S where we have used the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Multiplying through by the inverse of S we get ∂ det S = III S −1 S ∂S Note the similarity with the component form of the derivation.

which acts along the normal to the surface, therefore the pressure is Sn = 7 ρR 3
(c) Take a freebody of the shell by slicing it along the plane x3 = 0. What are the tractions t on the shell that must act at the slice? The normal to the surface along the plane x3 = 0 is n = − e3 . The traction acting on that surface is Se3 = f (r) x x e 3 = f (r) x ⋅ e3 x Also, on the slice x3 = 0, x = x 1 e1+x 2 e 2 ⇒ x ⋅ e3 = 0 and t = Se 3 = 0

Observe from the figure that n1 = eθ (θ+∆θ) and n2 = −eθ (θ), and are constant over the faces 1 and 2, respectively. The normal vectors n3 = er (ξ) and n4 = −er (ξ) with ξ ∈ [θ, θ+∆θ] varying over faces 3 and 4. Finally, note that n5 = ez and n6 = −ez are constant over faces 5 and 6. The volume of the wedge is ∆V = r ∆θ ∆r ∆z plus terms of higher order that vanish more quickly in the limit as ∆V → 0. To compute the component expression for the divergence of the stress tensor, we must expand the vectors Ser, Seθ, and Sez. Show that Ser = Srr e r + Sθr e θ + Szr ez Seθ = Srθ e r + Sθθ e θ + Szθ ez Sez = Srz e r + Sθz e θ + Szz ez Before we take derivatives, we must observe that in terms of the standard constant basis {e1 , e2 , e3 }, the radial and angular base vectors have the form er (θ) = cos θ e 1 + sin θ e 2 eθ (θ) = − sin θ e1 + cos θ e2 and, therefore, ∂er∕∂θ = eθ and ∂eθ∕∂θ = −er.

97. The constitutive equations for a three-dimensional isotropic, linearly elastic material can be expressed in the form Sij = λEkk δ ij+2m E ij where the subscripts i, j, and k range over the values 1, 2, and 3. Find equivalent expressions for the constitutive equations that already reflect the plane stress condition S33 = S23 = S 13 = 0, that is, find new material constants λ* and m * such that the two-dimensional relationship can be written as Sαβ = λ* E γγ δαβ + 2m * E αβ where the Greek indices range only over the values 1 and 2. Express the new constants ( λ* , m *) in terms of the constants ( λ, m) of the three-dimensional theory.
To find equivalent constitutive equations for plane stress condition, use S33 = 0 to get E33 which is not zero. S33 = λ E11+E 22 + λ+2m E33 = 0 E33 = −

We can observe that, in each case, one of the elastic constants is expressed in terms of two of the others from the set of five constants. There are some natural limits to the values that the constitutive parameters can take. Assume that under compressive hydrostatic pressure it is impossible for the volume to increase, and that in uniaxial tension it is impossible for a bar to get shorter. What do these hypotheses imply about the other moduli?

(a) Find the stress tensor S as a function of the strain E implied by the strain energy function. The stress can be computed as ∂γ S = ∂W = ∂W ∂e + ∂W ∂e ∂E ∂γ ∂E ∂E = 2a0 eI + 2a 1 E + a2 γ I + 2e E = 2a0 e+a 2 γ I + 2a1+2 a 2 e E (b) Consider a state of hydrostatic pressure S = p I, where p is a given pressure. Find the relationship among p, e and γ. Compute the trace of the stress tensor tr S = p tr(I) = 2a 0 e+a2 γ tr(I) + 2a1+2 a2 e tr(E) 3p = 3 2a0 e+a 2 γ p = 2a 0 e+a2 γ (c) Next consider a sample of the material subjected to a state of pure shear strain described by E = g n m + m n , where g is a given constant describing the motion and m and n are given orthogonal unit vectors. Will there be a change in volume of the sample? Do you expect that you would need a confining pressure to execute this motion? Why? The two strain measures can be computed for the present case as follows: e = tr(E) = g tr[n m]+tr[m n] = g n ⋅ m+m ⋅ n = 0 e = ∆V∕V = 0

γ = tr(EE) = g 2 tr [n m+m n] [n m+m n] = g2 tr [n m][n m] + [n m][m n] + [m n][n m] + [m n][m n] = g2 tr [n ⋅ m][n m] + [m ⋅ m][n n] + [n ⋅ n][m m] + [n ⋅ m][m n] = g2 tr [n n] + [m m] = 2g2 Therefore, the stress is S = a 2 γI + 2a 1 E,
tr(S) = 6a 2 g2
The confining pressure is proportional to tr S. Therefore, this deformation will require confining pressure to execute.

Therefore, the tensor B must be proportional to the identity tensor, i.e., B = BI.
The solution above was given in component form. Here is a component-free derivation of the conditions on B implied by symmetry of the stress tensor. Thanks to Xiang Ding for pointing out this elegant solution. The stress state must satisfy balance of angular momentum. Hence, the stress tensor must be symmetric. S is symmetric if
u ⋅ Sv = v ⋅ Su
for any vectors u, v
u ⋅ x Bx v = v ⋅ x Bx u u ⋅ v ⋅ Bx x = v ⋅ u ⋅ Bx x u ⋅ x v ⋅ Bx = v ⋅ x
This equality can be rewritten as v ⋅ Bx u ⋅ Bx = = b v ⋅ x u ⋅ x
where b is a constant (because that is the only way a function of v and a function of u can be equal to each other). Therefore, (for either u or v) we must then have u ⋅ Bx = b u ⋅ x ,
[or
v ⋅ Bx = b v ⋅ x ]
u ⋅ Bx − b x = 0 u ⋅ B−b I x = 0 Since the above equation must hold for an arbitrary vector u and must also be true for any position vector x then we must have B = bI In other words, the tensor B must be proportional to the identity.

The rod is made from a composite material with a variable elastic modulus C(x) = C o 2−x∕ℓ , making it twice as stiff at x = 0 as it is at x = ℓ. The governing differential equation for a rod with variable modulus is
b(x) = b o 1−x∕ℓ x ℓ
C(x) u′ ′ + b(x) = 0
where a prime indicates differentiation with respect to x. Find the exact (classical) solution to the problem by directly integrating the governing equations.
Let ξ ≡ x∕ℓ. The original differential equation is given by
C o 2−ξ u′ ′ = −bo 1−ξ Integrating once we get Co 2−ξ u′ = −b oℓ ξ− 12 ξ2 + a 1 = σ(ξ) The constant a1 can be determined from the boundary condition σ(1) = 0 to have the value a1 = boℓ∕2 . Dividing through by Co 2−ξ we have u′ =
b oℓ 1 −ξ 2C o 2−ξ
Integrating this equation gives u(ξ) =

Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics
The constant a2 can be determined from the boundary condition u(0) = 0 to have the value a2 = boℓ 2 ln 2∕2C o . Thus, the displacement map has the explicit form u(ξ) =

131. Consider the rod of unit length and modulus C(x) that varies as shown in the sketch. The rod is fixed at the left end, is free at the right end, and is subjected to a linearly varying body force b(x) as shown. Consider the following displacement map: u(x) = a x3+2x2−3x where a is some constant. Is the displacement map a solution to the given problem? Why or why not?
b(x) = 15x x
C(x) = 2−x 2 1
For the given map to be a solution to the problem, it has to satisfy the governing differential equation and boundary condition. ( Cu′ )′ + b = 0 ∀ x,
u ( 0 ) = 0,
Cu′ ( 1 ) = 0
Substituting, u′(x) = a 3 x2+4x−3 ,
u′′(x) = a 6 x+4
( Cu′ )′ + b = Cu′′ + C′ u′ + b = a( 2 − x2 ) 6 x + 4 + a( − 2 x ) 3 x2 + 4x − 3 + 15 x = a( − 12 x 3 − 12 x 2 + 18 x + 8 ) + 15 x ≠ 0 u ( 0 ) = 0,
Cu′ ( 1 ) = 4 a ≠ 0
Therefore the given map is not a solution to the problem.

The body force b(x) and the traction at the free end t ℓ are known while the stress σ(x) and the reaction t o are unknown. Using the principle of virtual work, select a virtual displacement field that allows you to compute the reaction force in terms of only the known applied forces. Give the expression for t o in terms of b(x) and t ℓ.
Note that G(σ, u) = 0 represents a statement of equilibrium for any choice of u. If we chose u(x) = u o (a constant) we get an interesting result because u′ = 0. Recognizing that, for this choice, u(0) = u(ℓ) = u o we get

136. In the little boundary value problem, we saw that the virtual-work functional could be stated as a weighted residual functional. A weighted residual functional for a three-dimensional solid body B with boundary Ω (with normal vector field n) can be defined as G(S, w) ≡ −
div S+b ⋅ w dV − t−Sn ⋅ w dA B

where div S+b is the equilibrium residual in the domain B, t−Sn is the equilibrium residual on the boundary Ω, and w is an arbitrary weighting function. Show that the weighted residual functional is identical to the virtual-work functional given in Eqn. (295), and, therefore, that the arbitrary weighting function is identical to the virtual displacement, i.e., w = u.

Substituting in the differential equation u′′(x) − u(x) = ( 2 + 2e x − 12 e −x ) − ( 1 + x 2 − 2ex − 12 e−x ) = 1 − x2 Therefore the solution satisfies the differential equation for all values of x.

Let ξ ≡ x∕ℓ and let u(ξ) = a 0+a1 ξ+a 2 ξ2 and u(ξ) = a 0+a1 ξ+a 2 ξ2 be the approximation for the real and virtual displacement fields. We must first satisfy the essential boundary conditions

u(0) = a 0 = uo u(1) = a 0 + a1 + a 2 = u1 Thus, we have a1 = u1−u o−a2. Substituting these expressions into the original approximations gives u(ξ) = u o + u 1−uo ξ + a 2 ξ2 − ξ The virtual displacement field must satisfy homogeneous essential boundary conditions, u(0) = 0 and u(1) = 0. Therefore, u(ξ) = a 2 ξ2−ξ . From these results we can identify uo(ξ) = uo + u 1−uo ξ and h2(ξ) = ξ2−ξ. The virtual-work functional is

The number of terms in the approximation of u determines the degree of refinement of the approximation while the number of terms in the expansion of u determines the degree to which we satisfy the weak form of equilibrium. If N > M then the system of equations resulting from the Ritz method is underdetermined. The equations are all valid equilibrium statements, but are insufficient to determine all of the coefficients of the displacement approximation. As such we get a family of possible displacement approximations that satisfy equilibrium in a limited sense. If N < M then the system

Assume that the real and virtual displacements can be approximated by the expressions u(ξ) = a 0+a1 ξ+a 2 ξ2
u(x) = a 0+a1 ξ+a 2 ξ2
where ξ ≡ x∕ℓ. Using the principle of virtual work, compute the displacement field u(x) and the tractions at the two ends σ(ℓ) and σ(0).
First, the real and virtual approximations must satisfy the essential boundary condition. Setting u(0) = 0 and u(0) = 0 gives a0 = 0 and a0 = 0. The virtual-work functional is

Find the classical solution to the governing differential equation. Using the principle of virtual work, compute a stress field σ(x) assuming a Ritz approximation as follows u(ξ) = a 0+a1 ξ+a 2 ξ2
u(x) = a 0+a1 ξ+a 2 ξ2
where ξ ≡ x∕ℓ. Because the modulus changes abruptly at x = ℓ∕2, the stresses and strains are discontinuous at that point. Why is this discontinuity a problem for the polynomial base functions suggested? What happens if you increase the order of the approximation?
(a) Within each segment the modulus is constant. Therefore, the solution in each segment satisfies Cu 2′′ + bo = 0
2Cu1′′ + b o = 0
Where u1 is the solution in the region 0 < x < ℓ∕2 and u2 is the solution in the region ℓ∕2 < x < ℓ. Both equations can be integrated by direct quadrature. Let ξ ≡ x∕ℓ, the two general solutions are u1 =

u2 =

The four constants can be found by the two boundary conditions (1) u1(0) = 0 and (2) Cu2′(1) = 0 and the two continuity conditions (3) u1(1∕2) = u2(1∕2) (continuity of displacement) and equilibrium of force (4) 2Cu1′(1∕2) = Cu2′(1∕2), as shown in the sketch. σ2(ℓ∕2)

Although the approximate displacement is reasonably accurate, the stress field is not. The base functions are smooth and thus the approximate strain is smooth, forcing the stress to jump at the midpoint. In the exact solution, the stress is smooth and the strain jumps at the midpoint.

The stress again takes a jump at the midpoint, but this time it jumps because the linear approximation of displacement within each element implies a constant variation of stress in each element. The approximation is trying to capture the linear variation of stress of the exact solution within these constraints.
149. Consider the rod of length 2π and constant modulus b(x) = sin x C=1, free at both ends and subjected to the sinusoidal body force, as shown. The general classical solution for the given x loading is u(x) = a 0+a1 x+ sin x. Show that the given solution satisfies the governing differential equation for the bar, 2π and state the essential and natural boundary conditions. Use the boundary conditions to find the integration constants a0 and a1. Explain any peculiar features of the solution to this problem. Use a polynomial Ritz basis to find a two-term approximate solution for the displacement field, using the principle of virtual work. Explain any peculiar features of the Ritz approximate solution.

By direct differentiation of the solution: u′ = a 1+ cos x and u′′ = − sin x, which is clearly equivalent to the governing equation for C=1. The boundary conditions are both natural: u′(0) = 0 and u′(2π) = 0. Substituting we get a1+1 = 0 and a1+1 = 0, respectively. These two equation give only the constant a1 = −1, a0 is arbitrary, implying u(x) = a 0−x+ sin x. It is not possible to establish the position of the bar, only the strains. The loading is called a self-equilibrating load. Let u = a 0+a1 x be the approximate displacement ( u′ = a 1) and u = a 0+a1 x be the virtual displacement ( u′ = a 1). The virtual-work functional then gives
G(u, u) ≡
2π
a 1 a 1 − (a0+a 1 x) sin x dx = 2π a 1+1 a 1

The approximate configuration is found by setting G = 0 for all values of the virtual displacement. Hence we get a1 = −1, as in the classical solution. Note that, again, the constant a0 is undetermined.

(b) Is the approximate solution a good one? Why or why not? Does the accuracy of the approximation depend upon the relative flexibilies of the rod and the elastic medium? How? Compute the error as the residual of the classical differential equation

Also, u′(0) = −5∕22 ≠ − 1 (the value of the applied load at the end) and u′(1) = −5∕22 ≠ 0 (traction free at the other end). Therefore, this is not a very accurate approximation.

The governing equations are then K a = f . (c) Consider solving this problem using the trigonometric approximation
u(x) = a 1 sin πx + a 2 sin 2πx + a 3 sin 3πx Is this approximation likely to give a good solution to the problem or not? Why or Why not? This basis is not good for this problem because each base function satisfies h(0) = 0 h(1) = 0. Hence, the springs cannot be mobilized by the approximation.
161. Consider the solid cubical region B shown in the sketch having unit dimensions. Let the scalar field w(x) characterize the response of the system. The field w is a function of the position vector x. If we define the functional G(w, v) ≡

then G = 0 (for all v) is a “virtual-work” statement of the equations governing w. The essential boundary conditions are such that w = 0 on the coordinate faces.

162. Reconsider the 2ℓ × 2ℓ × h block shown in Fig. 84. The block is fixed at the base, (i.e., u(x1, x2, 0) = 0) and subjected to a body force (self-weight) of b = −ρ o e3 throughout the volume. Let the material have independent elastic constants λ and m. Solve the problem by the Ritz method using the following assumption about the displacement field u(x) = a 1 x3 ℓ e3 + a 2 x1 x3 e 1 + x2 x 3 e 2
The base functions are h1(x) = x3ℓ e 3 and h2(x) = x1 x 3 e1 + x 2 x 3 e2. These base functions are identical to the example problem in the book. The necessary derivatives of the functions are div h 1(x) = ℓ

It is interesting to note that when λ = 0, 2m = C, and there is no Poisson’s effect. In this case we get a1 = −ρ o β∕2C and a2 = 0 so that u3 = −ρ o x 3 h∕2C.
163. Resolve Problem 162 with the following assumed displacement field u(x) = a 1 x3 ℓ e3 + a 2 x23 e 3 + a3 x1 x 3 e 1 + x2 x 3 e2 What is the contribution of the term x 1 x3 e 1 + x2 x3 e 2 (i.e., the lateral displacement) to the response in parts (a) and (b)? Compute the stress tensor S implied by the displacement fields of parts (a) and (b). What body forces and surface tractions are implied by these maps? What terms would you add to the solution to improve the Ritz approximation?
The base functions are h1(x) = x3ℓ e 3, h2(x) = x23 e 3 , h3(x) = x1 x 3 e1 + x 2 x 3 e2. The divergence and gradient for each base function can be computed as follows div h 1(x) = ℓ
∇h 1(x) = ℓ e 3 e 3
div h 2(x) = 2x 3
∇h 2(x) = 2x 3 e3 e3

∇h 3(x) = x 3 e1 e1 + x3 e2 e2 + x1 e 1 e3 + x2 e 2 e 3

∇S h 1 ⋅ ∇h 2 = 4x 3ℓ
∇S h 1 ⋅ ∇h 3 = 0
∇S h 2 ⋅ ∇h 1 = 4x 3ℓ
∇S h 2 ⋅ ∇h 2 = 8x23
∇S h 2 ⋅ ∇h 3 = 0
∇S h 3 ⋅ ∇h 1 = 0
∇S h 3 ⋅ ∇h 2 = 0
∇S h 3 ⋅ ∇h 3 = x 21+x22+4 x 23
where ∇S hi ≡ ∇h i+∇hTi is the symmetric gradient. Carrying out the indicated integrations as in part (a) gives the following system of equations for the unknown coefficients a1, a2 and a3

It is interesting to note that when λ = 0, 2m = C, and there is no Poisson’s effect. In this case we get a1 = −ρ o β∕C, a2 = ρ o∕2C, and a3 = 0 which is the classical result for a truss bar, with u3 = ρ o x 23−2 x3 h ∕2C.

Observe that the given displacement field does not do a very good job of representing the stresses for this problem (except when Poisson’s effect goes to zero). It is clearly a difficult problem trying to select base functions that improve the representation of stresses. Perhaps a good choice for the next term in the expansion would have the specific form x 1 x23 e 1 + x2 x23 e 2 .

164. Reconsider the 2ℓ × 2ℓ × h block shown in Fig. 84. As in Problem 162, the block is fixed at the base, (i.e., u(x1, x2, 0) = 0) and subjected to a body force b = −ρ o e3 throughout the volume. Let the material have independent elastic constants λ and m. Let ξ1 = 12 x 1∕ℓ+1 , ξ2 = 12 x 2∕ℓ+1 and ξ3 = x3∕h be a change of variables that maps the block onto the unit cube with one vertex at the origin of the coordinate system ( ξ1, ξ2, ξ3). Define the following functions φ1(ξ) = ξ1 ξ 2 ξ3
φ5(ξ) = ξ1 ξ 2 (1−ξ3)
φ2(ξ) = (1−ξ1) ξ 2 ξ3
φ6(ξ) = (1−ξ1) ξ 2 (1−ξ3)
φ3(ξ) = ξ1 (1−ξ 2) ξ3

φ4(ξ) = (1−ξ1) (1−ξ 2) ξ3
φ8(ξ) = (1−ξ1) (1−ξ 2) (1−ξ3)
These functions have the property that, at each of the eight vertices, one of the functions has unit value while the others are zero. They are, in fact, the finite element base functions for a hexahedron element. Let the displacement be approximated as 8

where ai is a vector constant with component expression ai = aij e j (no sum on j). What are the base functions hi(ξ) associated with this expansion? What is the physical significance of the coefficient vector ai? What does the essential boundary condition u(ξ1, ξ2, 0) = 0 imply about the values of the coefficients in the expansion? Solve the block problem using the base functions identified, as restricted by the essential boundary condition.
It is convenient to write the expansion of the displacement in terms of scalar coefficients as 8
u(ξ) =

Then the base functions can be represented as hij = φi (ξ) e j. Let the nodes be numbered as shown in the figure. Then the function φi (ξ) has unit value at node i and is zero at all of the other nodes. The coefficient aij is the nodal displacement at node i in the direction j. ξ3 2

Since the base functions φ5, φ6, φ7, and φ8 are not zero at ξ3 = 0 the coefficients must be zero to enforce the essential boundary conditions. Therefore, aij = 0 for the values i=5, 6, 7, and 8 and j=1, 2, and 3. Since the base functions φ1, φ2, φ3, and φ4 are zero at ξ3 = 0 the remaining coefficients are not restricted by the essential boundary conditions. where differentiation of φi is with respect to x which can be done by the chain rule. ∇ h ij = (φie j ), k e k = φ i, k e j ek ∇S hij ⋅ ∇ h kl = φi, α φ k, α δjl + φ i, l φk, j The derivatives of the shape functions are φ 1, 1 = a ξ 2 ξ 3

For example, [11, 21, 31, 41, 12, 22, 32, 42, 13, 23, 33, 43], which simply runs through the first index (associated with node number) for each value of the second index (the coordinate direction). With this ordering we can put the results into matrix form by defining the vectors φ1, φ2, and φ3 to have components [φj] i = φ i, j. In other words φj contains the derivatives of the base functions with respect to xj. In the present case each of these vectors has length 4 since there are four base functions.

165. Consider a cube of dimension 2 × 2 × 2 fixed at the base and subjected to a body force b = −ρ o e3. Describe a method for refining the finite element approximation by establishing a local coordinate system for each element that allows the creation of the finite element base functions from the eight basic element functions φi (ξ) described in Problem 164. Notice that each element is associated with eight nodes while the entire block is associated with 27 nodes. Continuity of displacements can be assured by associating the element base functions with element nodal displacements (i.e., finite element functions) and by associating elements nodal displacements with a common global displacement parameter where elements share a common node. x3

Increase the order of interpolation. To refine the approximation a node can be placed at the center of each edge and face and one at the center of the cube. Then, the quadratic Lagrangian functions can be used to create the functions. There are 27 nodes and hence 27 functions φ i that take unit value at node i and are zero at the other nodes. At each node i there exist two other nodes that have the same ( ξ 2 , ξ 3 ) coordinates. Call the ξ 1 coordinates of those nodes ξ a1 and ξ b1 . There are two other nodes that have

the same ( ξ 1 , ξ 3 ) coordinates. Call the ξ 2 coordinates of those nodes ξ c2 and ξ d2 . There are two other nodes that have the same ( ξ 1 , ξ 2 ) coordinates. Call the ξ 3 coordinates of those nodes ξ e3 and ξ f3 . Define Lj1(ξ 1) =
(ξ 1−ξ a1)(ξ 1−ξ b1) (ξ j1−ξ a1)(ξ j1−ξ b1)
Lj2(ξ 2) =
(ξ 2−ξ c2)(ξ 2−ξ d2) (ξ j2−ξ c2)(ξ j2−ξ d2)
Lj3(ξ 3) =
(ξ 3−ξ e3)(ξ 3−ξ f3) (ξ j3−ξ e3)(ξ j3−ξ f3)
The base function for node j can be constructed by multiplying these three functions together
φ j(ξ1, ξ 2, ξ3) = L j1(ξ 1)L j2(ξ 2)L j3(ξ 3) For example, consider the case shown in the figure with the node j taken at the corner with ξ 1 = ξ2 = ξ 3 = 1. The functions are
L j1(ξ1) = ξ 1 (2ξ 1−1),
L j2(ξ 2) = ξ 2 (2ξ2−1),
L j3(ξ 3) = ξ3 (2ξ 3−1)
Therefore, the base function for this node is
φ j(ξ1, ξ 2, ξ3) = ξ 1 (2ξ 1−1)ξ 2 (2ξ2−1) ξ3 (2ξ 3−1) Observe that this function has unit value at node j and is zero at all other nodes.

ξ1 There are many other possible higher-order finite element base functions with different definitions of the nodal positions. Refine the mesh. An alternative to increasing the order of interpolation is to use the same base functions, but to have them describe the solution over a smaller portion of the domain. For example, we can subdivide the original problem into eight regions of half the dimension on each side. For each region we can define a change of coordinates to map that region onto the unit cube. Now, for each region (for example, the shaded region in the sketch), the base functions given for the eight-node cube provide a satisfactory building block for the finite element base functions. Since the original base functions have the property that they have unit value at one node and are zero at the other nodes, they can be pieced together to get base functions that are continuous between adjacent regions. Let us assume that all of the nodes have the local numbering show in the sketch for the single isolated element. The base functions can be constructed by piecing to-

gether the local base functions φ i(ξ) defined in the problem statement. For example, the global base function that has unit value at node k and is zero at all other nodes can be defined as follows:
h kj(x) =
φ 3(ξ A)e j
x∈A
φ 4(ξ B)e j 0
x∈B x ∉ {A or B}
The change of variable is different for each region. For example
x 1∕ℓ x 2∕ℓ+1 2x 3∕h−1
ξA =
x 1∕ℓ+1 x 2∕ℓ+1 2x 3∕h−1
ξB =
These functions can be constructed systematically by establishing a global node numbering (each node in the global mesh has a distinct number) and establishing the correspondence between the local and global node numbers. The details of these transformations are covered in books on finite elements.

It has a uniform mass density that gives rise to a constant body force of b(x) = −2 e 2 (force x units per length units cubed), and is subjected to a surface traction on its top surface that is bilinear with 50 x2 respect to x2 and x3 ≡ x reaching a maximum value of 15 (force units per length units squared), as shown. 4 x1 Find an expression for the applied tractions t Γ(x). Find the resultant applied loads q(x) and m(x) equivalent to the surface tractions and body force. Find the 2 distribution of resultant force Q(x) and resultant moment M(x) along the beam. Find the displacements w(x) and the rotations θ(x) along the beam.
(a) Find an expression for the applied tractions t Γ(x). The distribution of the tractions on the top surface is bilinear, i.e., at any fixed value of x1 the variation with x3 is linear and at any fixed value of x3 the variation with x1 is linear, as shown in the sketch. x2 x2 c1(x 1) x 3 c2(x 3) 1+x 1

Since for any x1 the value of the function is zero at x3 = 0 it must have the form c1(x 1) x 3. Similarly, since for any x3 the value of the function is zero at x1 = −1 it must also have the form c2(x 3) 1+x 1 . Combining these two observations we conclude

that the distribution must have the form c x 3 1+x1 . At the point x1 = 1, x3 = 50 the function takes the value 15. Therefore, we must have c = 3∕20. The tractions act in the direction −e2. Therefore, the applied tractions are given by 3 − 20 1+x1 x3 e 2

The resultant moment M(x) is related to the applied moment m(x) by M′ x + e 3 × Q x + m x = 0 By plugging in the value of the resultant force Q(x) into the equation above and integrating it with respect to x, we get, 1 3 1 2 x e 1 + 20 x e3 + d M x = −1175 x−8 x2− 20

h The resultant force Q(x) is related to the applied loading q(x) by the differential equation Q′ x = −q x. Integrating with respect to x, we get Q x = −τo h x e3 + c 1 Since Qℓ = 0 , we get c1 = τo h ℓ e3 . Thus, Q x = τo h ℓ−x e3 Since, e3 × Qx = 0, the resultant moment M(x) is related to the applied moment m(x) by M′ x+m x = 0. Integrating this with respect to x, we get M x = 12 τo h2 x e2 + c 2 Since Mℓ = 0 , we get c2 = − 12 τo h 2 ℓ e 2.

171. The Saint-Venant torsion problem is restricted to problems with constant rate of twist and traction-free lateral surfaces. One feature of this solution is that, at the fixed end, the rotation is restrained but the out-of-plane warping is not. Physically, such a boundary condition would be very difficult to realize. One solution to this problem is to create a model in which the amplitude of warping is independent from the rate of twist of the beam. Consider the deformation map u(x) = θ(x 3) e3 × p + φ(x3) ψ(x 1, x 2) e3 where θ(x3) is the angle of twist, φ(x3) is the amplitude of warping, ψ(x1, x2) is the warping function, and p = x 1e1+x 2 e2. Further, assume that the warping function ψ(x1, x2) is the Saint-Venant warping function derived in the text. Compute the strain tensor and use the linear elastic constitutive equations to show that the tractions on a cross section are Se3 = m φ∇ψ + θ′e3 × p + Eφ′ψe3 where E ≡ λ+2m, and a prime denotes differentiation with respect to x3 .

govern the spatial variation of rotation θ and warping φ. These equations constitute a pair of second-order ordinary differential equations, and, therefore, we can expect four constants of integration that must be found from boundary conditions. What are the boundary conditions for a free end and a fixed end?
(a) Compute the strain tensor and use the linear elastic constitutive equations to show that the tractions on a cross section are given by Se3 = m φ∇ψ + θ′e3 × p + Eφ′ψe3 where E ≡ λ+2m, and a prime denotes differentiation with respect to x3 .

If φ(x3) = θ′(x3) = α, then θ = α x 3 + c = α x 3 , since θ(0) = 0. If we plug this result into the given expression for the displacement field we get u(x) = α x 3 e 3 × p + α ψ(x1, x2) e3 which gives the same results as the Saint-Venant problem discussed in the text. (c) Using the definition of the stress resultants, compute T′ and W′ and show that T′ + t = 0 and W′ − B + w = 0. What are the appropriate definitions of the applied loads t(x) and w(x)? Using the definition of the stress resultant T, we can obtain its derivative with respect to the x3 coordinate as follows,

Adding this term to W′, we get the equation W′ − B + w = 0 (d) Substitute the resultant constitutive equations into the resultant equilibrium equations, and show that the equations mJθ′′ + mJ1φ′ + t = 0 EJ3 φ′′ − mJ2 φ − mJ 1 θ′ + w = 0 govern the spatial variation of rotation θ and warping φ. These equations constitute a pair of second-order ordinary differential equations, and, therefore, we can expect four constants of integration that must be found from boundary conditions. What are the boundary conditions for a free end and a fixed end? Using the results we have obtained in (b), we have the constitutive equations T′ = m φ ′ J 1 + m θ′ ′ J = m φ′ J 1 + m θ′′ J W′ = EJ 3 φ′′ Plugging these results into the equations T′+t = 0 and W′−B+w = 0, obtained in part (c), we get the desired result. At a free end the tractions are prescribed. At a fixed end displacements are prescribed. Let us illustrate the boundary conditions for a free end and a fixed end on the beam in the figure. The essential boundary conditions (i.e., no twist and no warping at the fixed end) are given by,

The boundary conditions at the free end require some care. To be able to tell what has to be prescribed at a free end, we shall resort to the principle of virtual work. The internal virtual work is WI =

where, in the present case ∇u = θ′ e 3 × p e3 + φ′ ψ e3 e 3 + θ e3 × p, α eα + φ ψ, α e3 e α Then, since S ⋅ ∇u = tr S ∇u = ei ⋅ S T ∇u e i = ei ⋅ S ∇u ei (since S is symmetric), it follows that WI =

Also, a ⋅ a × b = 0 for any pair of vectors a and b. Therefore, since p, α = eα we have eα ⋅ Se 3 × p, α = eα ⋅ Se 3 × eα = e3 ⋅ e α × Seα = e3 ⋅ −e 3 × Se3 = 0 Using the definitions of stress resultants T, W, and B, and integrating by parts we get

where the parameter e0 has been introduced for convenience. This fourth parameter does not represent an independent parameter, but rather satisfies the constraint equation e20+e 21+e22+e 23 = 1. These parameters are called the Euler parameters. Demonstrate that the tensor Λ is orthogonal by showing that Λ−1 = ΛT. Show that for small values of the parameters e1 , e2 , and e3 the tensor can be expressed in the form Λ ≈ I+W, where I is the identity and W is a skew-symmetric tensor. Show, therefore, that when the three parameters are small, they can be viewed as the components of the rotation vector θ, with θ i = 2ei, and that W = θ ×. (a) Demonstrate that the tensor Λ is orthogonal by showing that Λ−1 = ΛT. If Λ−1 = ΛT, then ΛT Λ = I must hold. The tensor ΛT is given by

Since ΛT Λ = Λ T Λ, then ΛT Λ is a symmetric tensor. Therefore, we need only compute the upper (or lower) triangle and diagonal entries of this tensor. It follows that,
ΛT Λ = (e 20+e21−e 22−e23 ) 2 + 4(e 1 e2−e 0 e3) 2 + 4(e1 e3+e 0 e2) 2 11 = e40 + e 41 + e42 + e 43 + 2 (e 20 e21 − e 20 e 22 − e20 e 23 − e21 e 22 − e21 e23 + e 22 e23 ) + 4 (e21 e 22+e20 e 23 ) − 8 e 0 e1 e2 e 3 + 4 (e21 e22+e 20 e22 ) + 8 e0 e 1 e2 e3 = (e20+e 21+e22+e 23 ) 2 = 1

Likewise, ΛT Λ22 = Λ T Λ 33 = 1. The (1,2) term of ΛT Λ can be computed as
ΛT Λ = 2 (e20+e 21−e22−e 23 ) (e1 e2+e 0 e3 ) 12 + 2 (e20−e 21+e22−e 23 ) (e 1 e2−e 0 e 3 ) + 4 (e1 e3+e 0 e2 ) (e2 e 3−e0 e 1 ) = 4 e 20 e1 e 2+4 e 21 e0 e 3−4 e 22 e0 e 3−4 e23 e1 e 2 + 4 e 23 e1 e 2 − 4 e 20 e1 e 2 − 4 e 21 e0 e 3 + 4 e 22 e0 e 3 = 0 Likewise, ΛT Λ13 = Λ T Λ 23 = 0. Therefore, ΛT Λ = I holds. (b) Show that for small values of the parameters e1 , e2 , and e3 the tensor can be expressed in the form Λ ≈ I + W, where I is the identity and W is a skew-symmetric tensor. Show, therefore, that when the three parameters are small, they can be viewed as the components of the rotation vector θ, with θ i = 2ei, and that W = θ ×. ^

For small values of the parameters e1 , e2 and e3 , the squared terms above are very small. Since e20 + e 21 + e22 + e 23 = 1 then e20 ≈ 1 or e0 ≈ 1. Furthermore the terms e1 e2 , e1 e3 and e2 e3 are very small. If we neglect the higher order terms and take e0 < 0, we get ^

(d) Comment on the differences in the solutions obtained when M = N−1 versus those obtained with M = N. The cases with the rotation interpolated one polynomial order less than the displacement give results with the rotation independent of the shear stiffness of the beam, in accord with the exact solution, even for low-order approximations.
176. Prove that S ⋅ W = 0, or SijW ij = 0, when S is a symmetric tensor and W is a skewsymmetric tensor. Note that S ⋅ W = e i ⋅ SWei. Since S is a symmetric tensor, ST = S, or Sij = Sji . Also, since W is a skew-symmetric tensor, WT = −W, or W ij = −W ji . It follows that Sij W ij = S ji W ij = −Sji W ji = −S ij W ij where the first step uses the symmetry of S, the second step uses the skew-symmetry of W, and the third step is just a change of labels. As a consequence we have Sij W ij +S ij W ij = 2 Sij W ij = 0
⇒
Sij W ij = 0
An alternative proof is given below. For any tensor A, the difference between the tensor and its transpose A−AT is always skew-symmetric. The trace of a skew-symmetric tensor is always zero. Therefore, noting that S ⋅ W = tr SW , we have trSW− SW T = 0 Observing that AB T = B T AT, that tr A+B = tr A+tr B, and noting that W is skew-symmetric, we find that tr SW + tr WS = 0 Since tr AB = tr BA for and tensors A and B, we have, finally, 2 trSW = 0, thereby proving the result.

With q(x) = −q o and m(x) = 0, we can integrate the differential twice to get M(x) = EI w′′ = − 12 q o x 2 + a0 x + a 1 The force boundary conditions at the simple ends give M(0) = 0

Substituting these values and integrating twice more gives w=

Note that, the results we have here are identical to the ones we got for Problem 177 for the extreme case when GA → ∞. In other words, for a beam with a very large shear stiffness, the response of a Timoshenko beam and the Bernoulli-Euler beam are nearly identical.
179. Use a polynomial basis to find an approximate solution to Problem 177 using the principle of virtual work for the beam including shear deformation. Which terms should you include? What order approximation is adequate?

182. Consider the beam in Problem 177. Find an expression for the transverse displacement w(x) using the principle of virtual work, using a quartic polynomial basis. Note that the problem has two essential boundary conditions and two natural boundary conditions.
See problem 179. The quartic terms add no new information and therefore the solution does not improve.
183. The principle of virtual work does not require that the assumed displacement functions satisfy the natural boundary conditions a priori. Is there an advantage to satisfying the natural boundary conditions, too? What happens in Problem 182 if we do enforce the natural boundary conditions?
Enforcing the natural boundary conditions improves the approximation’s ability to satisfy the exact solution at the end points at the expense of using the additional terms to satisfy the equations in a weak sense throughout the domain. In general, it is difficult to justify enforcing equilibrium exactly at certain points in the domain.
q 184. A continuous beam is one that has one or more intermediate supports. The extra boundary conditions are in excess of the four end conditions. ℓ ℓ Describe an approach to solving the following x1 x2 problem that exactly satisfies the differential equations everywhere in the domain, as well as the boundary and intermediate conditions. Find the classical solution to the given problem by integrating the governing differential equations. (Hint: It is useful to describe the solution independently in each segment and to enforce continuity by equating state variables at the place where the two segments join.)

Axial k and shear deformations can be neglected (i.e., use Berx noulli-Euler beam theory). The beam is subjected to a ℓ uniform transverse load q acting downward. The beam has deformable spring supports at the ends. At the left end, the support prevents translation in the vertical and horizontal directions and the spring elastically restrains rotations. The moment developed by the spring is related to the rotation at that point by M s = kℓ2θ s, where θ s = θ(0) is the rotation experienced by the spring. The right end of the beam is free to translate horizontally and to rotate, but the spring elastically restrains vertical motion. The force developed by the spring is related to the deflection at that point by Fs = kws , where ws = w(ℓ) is the deflection experienced by the spring. What are the appropriate boundary conditions for this problem? Solve the problem by integrating the differential equations and using the boundary conditions to find the constants of integration. Revise the principle of virtual work to account for the work done by the springs. Estimate the deflection of the beam using a two-term polynomial expansion for the transverse deflection.

For this problem, since the essential boundary conditions are w(0) = 0 and w(ℓ) = 0 so that a1 = 0 and a2 = 0. Let us define a matrix of shape functions hT ≡ [ h3, h4 ] and a matrix of unknown coefficients aT ≡ [ a3, a4 ]. Thus, w = a T h and w′′ = a T h′′.

w′′(0) = 0,
w(ℓ) = 0,
w′′(ℓ) = 0
The reaction force due to the elastic foundation can be treated as an applied distributed load which acts always in the direction opposite the displacement. The loading shown on the sketch above is downward and hence negative according to our sign convention. Let us take q(x) in the positive sense as shown below

kw(x)
Then let us replace the load term in Eqn. (417) in the text with the effective loading q^ (x) ≡ q(x) − kw(x) So, for the Bernoulli-Euler beam we have EIwiv = q^ (x) = q(x) − kw(x). Rearranging terms gives the governing equation for the beam on an elastic foundation (with no applied moment) EIwiv + kw = q The boundary conditions are same as those of a simply supported Bernoulli-Euler beam. (b) Verify that the displacement w(x) = e βx a 1 cos βx + a2 sin βx + e−βx a3 cos βx + a 4 sin βx where 4β 4 ≡ k∕EI, satisfies the homogeneous differential equation. w′ = β e βx a1 cos βx − sin βx + a2 cos βx + sin βx −β e −βx a3 cos βx + sin βx − a 4 cos βx − sin βx w′′ = −2β 2 eβx a 1 sin βx − a2 cos βx + 2β 2 e −βx a3 sin βx − a 4 cos βx w′′′ = −2β 3 eβx a 1 cos βx + sin βx + a2 cos βx − sin βx +2β 3 e−βx a 3 cos βx − sin βx + a4 cos βx + sin βx wiv = −4β 4 e βx a1 cos βx + a 2 sin βx − 4β 2 e−βx a 3 cos βx − a4 sin βx = −4β 4w Substituting these results into the governing differential equation we get EIwiv + kw = EI wiv + 4β 4w = EI −4β 4w + 4β 4w = 0 Thus, the given displacement satisfies the homogeneous differential equation.

Using the displacement given in Problem 187 for the homogeneous solution and noting that a1 = a2 = 0 for finite displacements, we have w(x) = e –βx a 3 cos βx + a4 sin βx w(x) = e βx a 1 cos βx + a2 sin βx The boundary conditions are M(0) = EI w′′(0) = 0 Q(0) − P = −EI w′′′(0) − P = 0 These conditions yield a3 = − P , a 4 = 0 EI So the displacement is w(x) = − P e –βx cos βx EI w(x) 0

191. Consider the beam of modulus EI, pinned at one k P EI end, free at the other, and restrained by a rotational spring as shown. The beam is subjected to a tip load P at the free end. Shear and axial deformations can be neglected. Estiℓ mate the deflection of the beam at the point where load is applied. Discuss the accuracy of your estimate and discuss one other possible method for making the estimate.
The simplest method to solve this problem is to use the classical solution to the fixed cantilever beam and add the effect of the discrete rotation at the spring (which adds a linear motion). The classical solution for the fixed cantilever gives a deflections of Pℓ3∕3EI. The moment felt by the spring is Pℓ so the rotation is Pℓ∕k. The deflection at the end caused by that rotation can be computed to give Pℓ2∕k. Thus, the end deflection is w(ℓ) = Pℓ + Pℓ 3EI k 3

One can more formally solve the classical equation by noting the homogeneous solution (and its derivatives) is w′′ = 12 2c+6d ξ ℓ
w = a +b ξ+c ξ2+d ξ 3 w′ = 1 b+2c ξ+3d ξ 2 ℓ
w′′′ = 13 6d ℓ
The boundary conditions are w(0) = 0,
M(0) = k w′(0),
M(ℓ) = 0,
Q(ℓ) = −P
Substituting the solution into these conditions give w(0) = 0,

which yields the results mentioned earlier. This solution is exact. An alternate approach to this problem is to solve it using the Ritz method and the Principle of Virtual Work.
q 192. A flexible beam of length ℓ and moduRigid EI lus EI is welded to a rigid beam of length ℓ, and rests on an elastic foundation of modulus k x k=60EI/ℓ4. The beam is simply supported and is subjected to a transverse force q over ℓ ℓ the rigid part of the span. The elastic foundation accrues a transverse force in proportion to the transverse displacement w. Shear and axial deformations in the beam are negligible. Write the virtual-work functional G for the system. What are the essential and natural boundary conditions for the flexible beam?

Let us define ∆ ≡ w(ℓ), θ ≡ w′(ℓ), and a coordinate axis ξ, which starts from the left end of the rigid part of the beam. From the geometric constraint that the beam must reach the right support we must have ∆ + ℓθ = 0 Thus, the effective force on the rigid part of the beam is q^ ≡ −q + kθ ℓ−ξ , taken positive upward. The “external work done by these forces in a virtual displacement given by w(ξ) = ∆+θ ξ = −θ ℓ−ξ is

(b) What are the essential and natural boundary conditions for the flexible beam? Since the right portion of the beam is rigid (see figure above), it follows that the essential boundary conditions on the beam are w(0) = 0,
w(ℓ) + ℓ w′(ℓ) = 0
Also, taking the rigid part of the beam as a freebody diagram, the sum of the moments about the right support is zero. To wit,

Substituting the expression for q from above, and carrying out the integrations, we get the expression M(ℓ) − ℓ Q(ℓ) − 12 qℓ2 + 13 kℓ3θ = 0 Finally, substituting the constitutive relationships M = EIw′′ and Q = −EIw′′′ we find that the natural boundary conditions are w′′(0) = 0 EI w′′(ℓ)+ℓ w′′′(ℓ) + 13 kℓ 3 w′(ℓ) − 12 qℓ 2 = 0 (c) Find an approximate solution for the displacement w(x) using a two-term polynomial Ritz basis. Let the approximate displacement be given by the following polynomial expansion w(x) = a 0 ℓ3 + a 1 ℓ2 x + a2 ℓ x 2 + a3 x3 w′(x) = a 1 ℓ2 + 2 a2 ℓ x + 3 a 3 x 2 The essential boundary conditions must be satisfied a priori. Therefore, w(0) = 0
⇒ a0 = 0
w(ℓ) + ℓ w′(ℓ) = 0
⇒ a1 = − 3 a 2 − 2 a3 2
Substituting these relationships into the original expansion we get w(x) = a 2 ℓ x 2− 2 ℓ2 x + a 3 x 3−2 ℓ2 x 3
w′(x) = a 2 ( 2 ℓ x − 3 ℓ 2 ) + a3 ( 3 x2 − 2 ℓ 2 ) 2 w′′(x) = a 2 ( 2 ℓ ) + a3 ( 6 x )

Note that the fixed function is quadratic so that the displacement function satisfies both essential boundary conditions at the left end. The base functions are chosen to satisfy the homogeneous essential boundary conditions. Since there are three conditions a cubic function only has one degree of freedom left.

M 194. A beam of unit length and variable modulus is fixed at the right end and is subjected to a moment M at the left end. The bending and x shear stiffnesses of the beam are variable with EI(x) = EI 0 1+x and GA(x) = GA 0 1+x , where EI 0 and GA0 are known constants. 1 Recall that the governing equations for the Timoshenko beam are given by Eqns. (406). Find the deflection and rotation at the left end of the beam (i.e., at x = 0) by finding the classical solution to the governing differential equations.
The governing equations for the Timoshenko beam are Q′ + q = 0,
Q = GA(w′−θ)
M′ + Q + m = 0,
M = EIθ′
Note the following differentiation relationships
dxx = ln x,
d ln x = 1 x dx
The boundary conditions are (letting the applied moment at the left be called M 0 to distinguish it from the moment field) Q(0) = 0,
M(0) = M 0,
w(1) = 0,
θ(1) = 0
Note that, for this problem, we have q = 0 and m = 0. Therefore, we can integrate the equilibrium equations and use the boundary conditions at the left end to find two of the constants of integration. To wit, Q′ = 0
Q = a0
⇒
Q(0) = a 0 = 0
⇒
Q(x) = 0
⇒
M(x) = M 0
Similarly for moment we have M′ = 0
M = a1
⇒
M(0) = a 1 = M 0
Now, substituting this result into the constitutive equation for moment we can find the rotation by integration EI 0 1+x θ′ = M 0 θ′ =
M0 1 EI 0 1+x
⇒
θ(x) =
M0 ln 1+x + a 2 EI 0
Substituting the boundary condition on rotation at the right end we get θ(1) = 0 =

Therefore, the rotation field is θ(x) =
M0 ln 1+x EI 0 2
Now we can do the same for the constitutive equation for shear. To wit, Q = GA(w′ − θ) = 0
w′ = θ

Integrating this equation we get w′(x) = w(x) =
M0 ln 1+x EI 0 2

Substituting the boundary condition for displacement at the right end we get w(1) = 0 = −

(a) Use the Ritz method with the principle of virtual work to find an approximation of the displacement field using the single term approximation w(x) = a e –βx where β is a given constant and a is the unknown Ritz displacement parameter. The Ritz function and its derivatives are given as w = a e --βx
w′ = − β a e --βx
w′′ = β 2 a e --βx
w = a e --βx
w′ = − β a e --βx

where D ≡ λ+2m h 3∕12. (a) Is it possible to consider an infinite number of terms in the displacement function?

213. Reconsider the plate in Problem 212. We can compute an approximate solution using the Ritz method with a polynomial basis.

(b) Unlike the beam, where we can add one term at a time with good results, the next term we might want to add to improve the solution is more complicated for the plate. Since the displacement is a function of two variables, it is possible to introduce an asymmetry if we are not careful in the introduction of new terms. One strategy is to select all terms with the same exponents, as shown below by the dashed lines. 1 x1 x 21 x 31 x 41

Let g( x 1 , x 2 ) ≡ x 1 x2(x 1−π)(x2−π), and let us define a matrix containing the base functions as hT = g(x1, x2) 1, x 1, x 2, x1 x 2, and a matrix containing the unknown coefficients as aT = a00, a 10, a 01, a11, so that we can express the displacement as w(x1, x2) = aT h(x 1, x 2) Similarly, we can write w = a T h. The derivatives of the displacement field can be computed as w, 11 = aT h, 11 and w, 22 = aT h, 22 and w, 12 = aT h, 12 .

The different shading represents a different level of approximation. The darkest shading is the one-term approximation, the lighter shading is the four-term approximation, and the unshaded is the nine-term approximation. Clearly, all of the matrix components computed for the lower-order approximations are apropos to the higher-order approximation since the same base functions are reused. The equations can be solved for the coefficients a. The MATHEMATICAT commands needed to form and solve the problem are given below for the nine-term approximation. To get the other approximations simply change the value of nterms. g = x*y*(x - Pi)*(y - Pi) nterms = 4 binom = List [ 1, x, y, x y, x^2, y^2, x^2 y, x y^2, x^2 y^2 ] h = g* Take[binom, nterms] h11 = D[h, {x,2}] h22 = D[h, {y,2}] h12 = D[h, {x,1}, {y,1}] k1 = Outer[Times, h11 + h22, h11 + h22] k2 = Outer[Times, h11, h22] + Outer[Times, h22, h11] k3 = 2 Outer[Times, h12, h12] ki = k1 - (1-n)(k2 - k3) K = Integrate[ki, {x,0,Pi},{y,0,Pi}] f = Integrate[h , {x,0,Pi},{y,0,Pi}] a = Simplify[ Inverse[K].f ]

where all the coefficients amn are normalized by qo ∕D. Note that the coefficient amn is the multiplier of the base function xm1 xn2. As the table indicates, the four-term approximation yields the same result as the one-term approximation. The reason that the new coefficients come out to be zero is that these are the values that best represent the symmetry of the loading. The nine-term approximation allows the development of additional symmetric displacement.

216. Solve the square ( π × π), simply supported plate under uniform load (shown in Fig. 110) considering shearing deformations. Note: You can still neglect the in-plane problem because it is uncoupled from the bending problem. Use the Ritz method. Note that w(x1, x2) must vanish on the boundary, but that θ 1(x 1, x 2) and θ 2(x 1, x 2) are not restricted. Let w(x1, x2) = a1 sin x 1 sin x 2. Select the functions for θ 1 and θ 2 so that the shearing deformation is linear, that is θ 1 = w, 2 + b 1 2x2−π ,
θ 2 = −w, 1 + b2 2x1−π
What is the result of making such an assumption? Noting that the tangential moment must vanish on the boundary, is there a means of finding a better displacement function? Can we use statical considerations to improve the approximation of the rotation field?
The virtual work functional is given by G(w, w, θ, θ) ≡

Neglecting the in-plane actions, the first term is Q α ⋅ ε α = Q α w, α +ε αη θ η = hm w, α +ε αβ θ β w, α +ε αη θ η However, for the present problem, we are given θ β = ε βν w, ν +η β where the functions η β are given as η 1 = b1 2x 2−π and η 2 = b2 2x 1−π . Thus, since w, α +ε αβ θ β = w, α +ε αβ ε βν w, ν +ε αβη β = w, α −δαν w, ν +ε αβη β = ε αβη β and noting that ε αβ ε αν η β η ν = δβν η β η ν = η β η β, we get Q α ⋅ ε α = hm η β η β

Similarly, neglecting the in-plane actions, the second term of the virtual work functional can be written as Mα ⋅ κ α = M αβ θ β, α. The components of the bending moment field are given by 3 M αβ = h12 λÁ αβ Á γη θ η, γ + m Á γβ Á αη θ η, γ + θ β, α 3 = h12 λ( θ β, α −θ α, β ) + m (2 θ β, α −δαβ θ ν, ν )
where we have used the identity Á αβ Á γη = δ αγ δβη−δ αη δ βγ. Thus, the internal work associated with bending is given by M αβ θ β, α = D θ β, α θ β, α − ν θ α, β θ β, α − (1−ν) θ α, α θ β, β Let x1 ≡ 2x2−π e2 , x2 ≡ 2x1−π e3 , and aT = a1, b1, b2 so that η β = aTx β. Further more let w ≡ sin x1 sin x2 e1 and let y1 ≡ w, 2 +x1 and y2 ≡ −w, 1 +x2 so that the rotation field can be computed as θ α = aTy α. The derivatives of the rotation fields can be computed as θ α , β = a Tyα , β. The principle of virtual work yields the standard linear system of equations Ka = f where the matrix K can be constructed from a bending component and a shear component as K = K b+K s where Kb = D

(c) What are the possible boundary conditions for W(x1)? Find the constants of integration for the case where the plate is simply supported on all four edges. Since the normal vector at the boundaries at x1 = 0 and x1 = π are e1 and −e1 respectively, the four possible boundary conditions are as follows (see page 259 in the text): w = W sin x 2 = 0 w, 1 = W′ sin x2 = 0 w, 11 + ν w, 22 = W′′ − νW sin x2 = 0 w, 11 + ν w, 22 = W′′′ + ν−2 W sin x2 = 0

For a plate that is simply supported on all four edges, we have the conditions W(0) = W(π) = 0 W′′(0) − νW(0) = 0 ⇒ W′′(0) = 0 W′′(π) − νW(π) = 0 ⇒ W′′(π) = 0 For simplicity, let us write the displacement function as follows W(x1) =

218. There are many possibilities available within the context of the method of Kantorovich. In general, we use an approximation of the form w(x1, x2) = W(x1) φ(x 2), where φ(x2) is a known function. In Problem 217, the choice was φ(x2) = sin x 2. A more general approach is to use the deflected shape of a simply supported beam subjected to the applied loading (assuming that it does not vary with x2 ). Find the general expression for the coefficients a, b, c, and q^ of the differential equation a W IV − b W′′ + c W = q^ that results from applying the method of Kantorovich with the known function φ(x2). Express the coefficients as integrals of φ(x2). Can Kantorovich’s method be applied to boundary conditions other than simple supports along parallel edges? How would the approach change to accommodate more general boundary conditions?

What do the necessary conditions for an extremum imply? (Hint: take the directional derivative of the functional in the directions of u and S, and apply the fundamental theorem of the calculus of variations.)

Note that because the expression in parentheses (i.e., ∇u−∂U∕∂S) is contracted with S, which is symmetric, the antisymmetric part of it is annihilated. Since S is symmetric one can conclude that it is appropriate to take only the symmetric part of ∇u. This issue can be eliminated if 12 ∇u+∇uT is used in the original functional R in place of ∇u.

(Hint: would an energy exist if p depends upon w itself? What if it depends upon derivatives of w, i.e., p = p(x, w(x), ∇w(x), )?
The directional derivative of the function p can be carried out as Dp(w) ⋅ u =

This derivative takes the form Dp(w) ⋅ u =

The moment developed by a spring k is related to the rotation by M = k φ, where φ is the rotation expe- ℓ rienced by the spring. Both springs have modulus k. The frame is k subjected to a load P acting downward. The motion of the structure can be completely characterized by the rotation of the vertical ℓ ℓ member from its original position. Examine the stability of the system. In particular, find the critical load and plot the bifurcation diagram. Note that the bifurcation diagram is not symmetric. Can you explain, in physical terms, why it is not?

Let θ be the rotation of the vertical member from its original position (see the figure). From geometry, the vertical drop of the hinge in the beam must be the same measured from the left or from the right. Therefore, we get the relationship between the angles β and θ as sin β = sin θ + 1 − cos θ The potential energy of the frame is E(θ) =

The virtual-work functional can be computed from the energy as G(θ, θ) = DE(θ) ⋅ θ = k θ + k θ+β 1+dβ∕dθ − Pℓ sin θ θ where, up to the second-order of θ, β ≈ θ + 12 θ 2,
dβ ≈ 1 + θ, dθ
sin θ ≈ θ
The equilibrium condition G(θ, θ) = 0 for all θ yields two solutions: θ = 0,
P(θ) ≈ k 5+3θ ℓ
The value of P(θ) at θ = 0 is the critical load Pcr = 5k ℓ The bifurcation diagram is asymmetric about θ because G(θ, θ) contains even terms in θ, which in turn causes P(θ) to have odd terms. A physical explanation is that for the same amount of rotation of the vertical bar, the amount of rotation the horizontal bar experiences is larger for θ > 0 than for θ < 0, hence, more energy is stored in the frame in the former case. More energy leads to a higher bifurcation load. The second derivative of the energy is
A(θ, θ) = k 1 + θ+β β′′ + 1+β′ 2 − Pℓ cos θ θ 2 k
= k 1 + θ+β + 2+θ 2 − Pℓ cos θ θ 2 k For the trivial path θ = 0 A(0, θ) = θ 2 5k − Pℓ therefore, the trivial path is stable for P < P cr and unstable for P > P cr. For the bifurcated path A(θ, θ) = k θ 2 3θ + O(θ 2) where O(θ 2) denotes second and higher powers of θ. Therefore, the bifurcated path is stable for θ > 0 and unstable for θ < 0.

The potential energy of the frame with an initial imperfection θ o is E(θ) =

Hence, G(θ, θ) = DE(θ) ⋅ θ = k θ−θ o + k θ−θ o+β−β o 1+dβ∕dθ − Pℓ sin θ θ From geometry, up to the second-order of θ β ≈ θ + 12 θ 2,

Since A(0, θ) = 6kℓ+P ℓ θ , the straight configuration θ = 0 is stable for P > −6kℓ, and unstable for P < −6kℓ. At θ = π we have A( π, θ) = 6kℓ−P ℓθ 2. Thus, the straight configuration θ = π is stable for P < 6kℓ, and unstable for P > 6kℓ. For the bent configuration we have 2

(a) Find a suitable virtual work function for the system? Consider a freebody diagram with moment M (and reaction forces) acting at the fixed end. Summing moments about the base gives M = kθ = P cos αθ ℓ sin θ + P sin αθ ℓ cos θ = Pℓ cos αθ sin θ+ sin αθ cos θ = Pℓ sin(1+α) θ Hence, k θ−Pℓ sin(1+α) θ = 0 is the classical equilibrium equation. We can develop a virtual work functional by the method of weighted residuals G(θ, θ) ≡ k θ − Pℓ sin(1+α) θ θ Then G(θ, θ) = 0 for all θ implies equilibrium by the fundamental theorem of the calculus of variations. This is the principle of virtual work. (b) Does an energy function exist? If so, then find it. Symmetry of the virtual work functional determines the existence of the energy functional.

Of course, this can be verified by taking the directional derivative of the energy and showing that it gives the virtual work functional. (c) Estimate the buckling load of the system. The governing equation is k θ − Pℓ sin(1+α) θ = 0. It is evident that one solution is θ = 0. For θ ≠ 0 the equation is satisfied only for certain values of the load. In particular, for loads that satisfy θ P=k ℓ sin (1+α)θ The critical load (buckling load) is the limit of this load as θ → 0.

261. Vainberg’s theorem is simply a statement of integrability. This theorem can be applied to the strain variations that we derive through a virtual work argument for a nonlinear planar beam. Let u ≡ u, w, θ and u ≡ u, w, θ be the real and virtual displacements and rotation. From the principle of virtual work, we have found that the virtual curvature is given by κ o(u, u) = θ′. Show that the symmetry condition holds for the virtual curvature, i.e., Dκ o(u, u) ⋅ u^ = Dκ o(u, u^ ) ⋅ u and, hence, that it is integrable. Show that the real curvature is given by κ o = θ′. Note that the directional derivative of κ o is Dκ o(u, u) ⋅ u^ = d κ o(u+ε u^ , u)ε=0 dε and the integral of the virtual curvature can be computed by Vainberg’s formula as

Carry out the stability analysis parallel to the analysis done for the cantilever model problem in the text.
The general solution to the the fourth-order differential equation is w(x) = a 0 + a1 x + a 2 sin mx + a3 cos mx where m 2 ≡ P∕EI, and a0, a1, a2, and a3 are integration constants. The boundary conditions at the left end, w(0) = 0 and w′′(0) = 0 immediately yield the constants a0 = a3 = 0. At the right end, w(ℓ) = 0 and w′′(ℓ) = 0 give a2 sin mℓ = 0
a1ℓ + a 2 sin mℓ = 0
The first of these substituted into the second gives a1 = 0. The condition for existence of a non-trivial solution (i.e., w(x) ≠ 0) is, therefore, sin mℓ = 0 This equation is the characteristic equation, and has solutions only for values of the load parameter m n = nπ∕ℓ, for n = 1, 2, 3, . The critical loads of the system are, therefore, Pn = n2π 2EI∕ℓ2. Noting that a2 ≠ 0 only when m = m n we can substitute back into the expression for the displacement to get the buckling modes that correspond to the critical loads. The nth buckling mode is
wn(x) = a2 sin nπx ℓ where the amplitude a2 is undetermined.

The moment equation (Eqn. 549 in the text) reduces to EIθ ′′ + V(x) cos θ + P sin θ = 0 with the boundary condition θ(0) = 0 and θ′(ℓ) = 0. The differential equation is harder to solve than that for Euler’s elastica because the coefficient of cos θ varies with x. The inextensibility constraints imply that Á o = β o = 0. Furthermore, we have Mθ| ℓ0 = 0 and Vw| ℓ0 = 0, either from the natural boundary conditions by imposing homogeneous essential boundary conditions on w and θ. Consequently, the virtual work functional for the problem reduces to

Axial ℓ and shear deformations can be neglected. The beam has a deformable spring support at the left end that elastically restrains rotations. The moment developed by the spring is related to the rotation at that point by M s = kθ s, where θ s = w′(0) is the rotation experienced by the spring. The right end of the beam is free to translate and to rotate. Solve the linearized buckling problem by the classical method, i.e., by integrating the differential equation.

The essential boundary condition for the beam is w(0) = 0, the natural boundary conditions are M(0) = kw′(0), M(ℓ) = 0, and V(ℓ) = 0. These conditions can be expressed in terms of w as follows: M(0) = kw′(0)

A nontrivial solution exists only when the determinant of the coefficient matrix above is equal to zero. Hence, the characteristic equation is mℓ sin mℓ − α cos mℓ = 0 There may be solutions to the characteristic equation for certain values of m (see part (c) below). However, observe that the four equations that result from the boundary conditions must be used to determine five unknowns, the constants a0, a1, a2, a3 and the load parameter m. If there exist solutions to the characteristic equation then we cannot completely determine the constants a0, a1, a2, and a3. The best we can hope to do is find three of them in terms of one that cannot be determined. If there is no solution to the characteristic equation then the solution is a0= a1= a2= a3=0. One way to visualize the solutions of the characteristic equation is to let x ≡ mℓ and rewrite the characteristic equation as tan x =

The functions f (x) = tan x and f (x) = α∕x are easily visualized as shown in the sketch below. The solutions to the equation, xi, are the intersections of these two curves. The first two solutions are shown in the sketch. Since the tangent function is asymptotic to the value π∕2 we can observe that x1 < π∕2 and that π∕2 < x 2 < 3π∕2. The hyperbolic function f (x) = α∕x is asymptotic to zero for large values of x. Since the tangent function crosses the axis at π, 2π, 3π, . . ., we can observe that xn ≈ n−1 π for large values of n. f (x)

if α = 2 the equation is satisfied for the following values of the load parameter: m 1 = 1.077∕ℓ, m 2 = 3.644∕ℓ, and m 3 = 15.83∕ℓ. The fundamental critical load is, = 1.160EI∕ℓ2. therefore, P(α=2) 1 As k → 0 the parameter α → 0, and the characteristic equation reduces to the equation mℓ sin mℓ = 0. The first solution is m 1 = 0, which yields a critical load of zero. This is expected since, when k = 0, the beam can rotate about the left end with no resistance. A stability analysis will reveal that the straight configuration is unstable for any value of P > 0. The higher critical values are given by m n = (n−1) π∕ℓ for n=2, 3, .... These values are essentially those of a pinned-pinned beam. We can consider the other extreme, i.e., as k → ∞, by dividing the characteristic equation by α and then taking the limit as α → ∞. In the limit, the characteristic equation is cos mℓ = 0. The solution to the characteristic equation is = π2 EI∕4ℓ 2. This result m n = (2n−1) π∕2ℓ. The fundamental critical load is P(α→∞) 1 is again in agreement with our intuition since now the beam is cantilevered at the left end. (d) Into what shapes does the beam deform at the critical loads? What are the shapes as k → 0? What are the shapes as k → ∞? The buckling mode is wn(x) = a^ 3 α 1− cos m n x + m 2nℓ sin m n x where a^ 3 = a3∕α. Since the mℓa3+α a2 = 0 we can determine that as k → ∞ we must have a2 = 0 and the buckling mode shape is w(α→∞) = a3 1− cos m nℓ n The case where k → 0 is more complicated because m → 0 as α → 0. Consider m 1(α) to be a function of α. Because m ≪ 1 we can expand the sine and cosine functions approximately as 1− cos θ ≈ 12 θ 2 and sin θ ≈ θ. Thus, we have w1 = a^ 3 12 α m 21 x2 + m 31ℓ x The characteristic equation reduces to m 2ℓ 2 − α 1− 12 m 2ℓ 2 = 0 which means that α ∝ m 2 . Consequently, the term αm 21 vanishes faster than the term m 31 as α → 0. In the limit, then, the mode shape for the case k → 0 is simply w(α→0) = a~ x 1 The rigid body motion for the mode shape is the expected result.

The characteristic equation is now cubic in the load parameter λ λ3 − 9 α+8 λ2 + 24 13α+30 λ − 720α = 0 The closed-form expressions for the roots of a cubic equation are very cumbersome. However, for a specific value of α one can numerically calculate the values of the roots. For example, for α = 2 the first three critical loads can be determined as λ1 = 1.160, λ2 = 17.36, and λ3 = 71.48. As usual, the corresponding critical loads are given by Pi = λi EI∕ℓ 2. The exact values of the critical loads were computed in Problem 265(c). The first two of were found to be λ1 = 1.160 and λ2 = 13.28. Obviously, the three-term approximation gives very good results for the fundamental critical load. (c) The classical solution gives an infinite number of critical loads. How many did the two-term approximation give? Why? Were the critical loads higher or lower than the exact values? Why? The number of the critical loads one gets from a Ritz approximation is equal to the number of unknown constants a1, a2, , a N in the expansions of the real and virtual displacement fields. The reason is that for an N-term approximation, the matrices K and G have dimension N by N. Therefore, the characteristic equation det K−λG = 0 is an Nth-order polynomial in λ with N roots. (Because K and G are symmetric, the roots are all real). For a two-term approximation, then, we get two critical loads. The approximate critical loads are always higher than the exact values due to the constraints introduced by the approximating functions. In a qualitative sense one can view the base functions as containing errors in the form of deviations from the eigenfunctions. Differentiation magnifies the errors. Thus, the product aT Ka is augmented more than the product aT Ga because the former has second derivatives and the latter has first derivatives of the base functions. As a consequence, more constraint leads to a stiffer system and hence higher buckling loads since λ ≈ a T Ka∕aT Ga. (d) Discuss what is good and bad about the assumed shapes. Could the approximating functions be improved easily? Suggest a better approximation. The good aspect of the assumed shape w(x) = a 1 x + a2 x2∕ℓ is that it satisfies the essential boundary condition of the problem w(0) = 0. The bad aspect is that it introduces a nonphysical constraint w′′(x) = 2a 2∕ℓ, a constant curvature over the whole length of the beam. We have improved the approximation by simply adding a cubic term to the approximation.

Since the even rows and columns are not affected by the spring stiffness, the critical loads associated with the even terms are the same as those for the beam without spring support (by Gershgorin’s theorem). However, the critical loads associated with the odd terms increase due to the presence of the spring. For example, for a two-term approximation (the relevant terms are shown shaded above), the characteristic equation reduces to 4π2 4π2−λ π2 π 2−λ +α = 0

λ 2 = 4π 2
The critical loads for the beam without the spring are λ1 = π2 and λ2 = 4π2. As α increases λ1 increases and can pass λ2 . In fact, for α > 3π 4 we have λ2 > λ1 and buckling is controlled by the “second” mode.
269. The prismatic beam shown below has flexuEI P ral modulus EI. Axial and shear deformations can k be neglected. The beam is supported on an elastic x foundation of modulus k. The force developed, ℓ per unit length, by the foundation is related to the deflection at that point by f (x) = kw(x). A beam on an elastic foundation with axial thrust is governed by the following (linearized) differential equation and boundary conditions EIwiv + Pw′′ + kw = 0 w(0) = 0,
w′′(0) = 0,
w(ℓ) = 0,

How does the buckling load vary with the elastic properties of the system, namely EI and k?

Note that the classical boundary conditions for M = 0 and V = 0 can be expressed as EIw′′ = 0 and EIw′′′+ Pw′ = 0, respectively. If we insist that our virtual displacements satisfy homogeneous essential boundary conditions, then the virtual work functional is the one given. (b) Does the presence of the elastic foundation affect the boundary conditions? The elastic foundation does not affect the boundary conditions because it is a distributed effect. The elastic foundation affects only the domain terms of both the classical differential equation and the virtual work functional.

Note that this approach is valid since the base functions used are eigenfunctions are are orthogonal to each other. If we started the approximation by taking the sum of eigenfunctions times unknown constants the equations would uncouple and the results would be the same. Note that Pn = λn EI∕ℓ 2. (d) How does the buckling load vary with the elastic properties of the system, namely EI and k? Express your result in terms of P1 ≡ π2EI∕ℓ 2 and the ratio of foundation stiffness to beam stiffness, given by the dimensionless parameter β ≡ kℓ 4∕π4EI. (Hint: the critical buckling mode depends upon β.) Is your answer exact? The buckling loads are a function of the ratio of flexural stiffness to foundation stiffness. In particular, they are a function of the defined parameter β. In the limit as β → 0 the buckling loads reduce to those of the pinned-pinned beam without elastic foundation. For non-zero values of β, the change from the foundationless case is most apparent for n = 1 and reduces for the higher modes. Physically, the higher modes are more tortuous but the net deflection from the initial position is less. Consequently, more energy is vested in flexure and less in deforming the foundation. Ordinarily, λ1 would be the fundamental buckling mode, but in this case the lowest buckling load depends upon the foundation stiffness. For each value of β we must find the smallest λn over all values of n. This process is shown graphically in the sketch below. The value λ1 controls for 0 ≤ β ≤ 4, after which the value λ2 is minimal. In general, the value λn is minimal for n−1 ≤ β ∕n ≤ n+1. 1+β

The solution is exact because the base functions are eigenfunctions of the classical problem.

In the design of beams subjected to transverse load and thrust, sometimes called beamcolumns, the concept of the magnification factor is often used. The idea behind the magnification factor is that the influence of the axial thrust is to magnify the values of displacement and moment that would be present if the axial thrust were not (i.e., the solution if P = 0). Show that the maximum deflection and moment can be expressed as w(ℓ∕2) = w o

(b) Is your estimate higher or lower than the actual buckling load? Explain your answer. The estimate is higher than the actual buckling load because the Ritz method always provides an upper bound on buckling loads. (c) Propose a function for a one-term Ritz approximation that will give better results than you got in part (a). Why do you think it is better? The function w(x) = a x3−6x2ℓ satisfies the essential boundary conditions of zero displacement and rotation at x = 0. It also satisfies the condition of vanishing moment at x = 2ℓ. It should, therefore, give better results than the previous one-term polynomial approximation. The derivatives of the displacement function are w′ = 3a x2−4xℓ and w′′ = 6a x−2ℓ . The virtual displacement field and its derivatives are similar. Thus, the virtual work functional can be expressed as

Noting that β o = sin φ cos θ− cos φ sin θ, and using a trigonometric identity, the constitutive equation for shear can be written as Q = V cos θ − H sin θ = GA sin(φ−θ) The equation can be linearized to give Hθ + GA φ−θ − V = 0,

The classical differential equation can be obtained by adding (*) and (**) to eliminate V and by subsequently eliminating φ = 1+λ∕β θ by (*) with V = 0. Dividing the result by EI we finally obtain the classical equation ℓ2 θ′′+λ 1+λ∕β θ = 0 where λ and β are as previously defined. For the load λ = −β this equation reduces to θ′′ = 0 along with φ = 0. Thus, θ = a 0+a1 x. The boundary condition θ(0) = 0 gives a0 = 0 and the boundary condition M(ℓ) = 0 gives a1 = 0. Thus, θ(x) = 0 for this value of the load parameter. The negative root to the characteristic equation is the best effort the approximation can make to finding this “other” solution in the context of the given functional. Note that, to within the roughness of the approximation, the numerical solution gives λ3 ≈ −β. (b) Describe at least two ways of improving the approximation, and rank them according to which is likely to give the most improvement (no calculations necessary). The approximation can be improved by increasing the order of the basis and by eliminating the constant shear assumption. Actually, you cannot do the latter without doing

Observe that now we get two negative eigenvalues that are roughly equal to β. (c) If EI is very large in comparison to GAℓ2 , what will the buckled shape of the beam look like? The deformation will be dominated by shear, not flexure. Therefore, the shape of the beam should be a straight line in the limit.

Shear and axial deformations in the beam are negligible. Write the energy functional E and the virtual-work functional G for the system. What are the essential and natural boundary conditions for the flexible beam? Find an approximate solution for the displacement w(x) using a polynomial Ritz basis.
(a) Write the energy functional E and the virtual work functional G for the system. The energy can be established by considering the sketch below, which includes the forces due to the elastic foundation.

Note that the shear boundary condition includes the effects of the elastic foundation under the rigid part. (c) Find an approximate solution for the displacement w(x) using a two-term polynomial Ritz basis. Let ξ = x∕ℓ so that dx = ℓ dξ. A two-term polynomial that satisfies the essential boundary condition is w = a 1 ξ 1−ξ + a 2 ξ2 1−ξ . The base functions are, therefore, h1 = ξ−ξ2

Therefore, the lowest critical load is Pcr = 1.015 EI2 ℓ If the load can be placed at any point along the top, the both columns have axial load and we must formulate the problem a bit differently. Assume that the load is placed a distance βℓ from the right column line. Then the axial force in the left column is βP and the axial force in the right column is 1−β P. We can again take a polynomial approximation for the displacement in the two columns, wL = a1 ξ 2+a2 ξ 3 and wR = a3 ξ 2+a4 ξ 3 . The constraint on the two displacement fields is that
356
Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics
wL(1) = wR(1). Thus, a1+a 2 = a 3+a4. We can, therefore, eliminate one variable with this constraint, a4 = a1+a 2−a3. This allows us to write wR = a1 ξ 3+a2 ξ 3+a3 ξ2−ξ 3 . Let a = a 1, a 2, a 3 and define base functions as follows h L = ξ 2, ξ 3, 0
hR = ξ3, ξ3, ξ2−ξ 3

hL′′ = 2, 6 ξ, 0 ∕ℓ2
hR′′ = 6 ξ, 6 ξ, 2−6 ξ ∕ℓ 2
Now, wL = a ⋅ hL(ξ) and wR = a ⋅ hR(ξ) and the displacement functions automatically satisfy the kinematic constraint. The virtual work functional is G(wL, wR, wL, wR) =

286. Modify the program NEWTON to account for initial geometric imperfections in the two-bar rigid linkage connected by rotational springs.
The governing equations for the rigid linkage with imperfections is given as g1(θ) ≡ 2 θ 1−θ o1 − θ 2−θ o2 − λ sin θ 1 = 0 g2(θ) ≡ − θ 1−θ o1 + θ 2−θ o2 − λ sin θ 2 = 0 where θo = {θ o1, θ o2 } represent the imperfections. Because g(θ, λ) = 0 is linear in the imperfections, the Hessian matrix is identical to the one for the system without imperfections, given in the text.

The computation of the equilibrium path emanating from the second bifurcation point can fail under the previous parameterization because φ2 = 0 (by symmetry) and γ eventually exceeds π∕2 making the arcsine function ambiguous. We can parameterize the problem to be more favorable for this case, but then the algorithm fails when computing the equilibrium path emanating from the first bifurcation point.

The result, after dividing by kℓ2 and defining λ ≡ P∕kℓ is G(φ, φ) = sin φ 1 cos φ 1 φ1 + sin φ2 cos φ 2 φ2 − λ sin φ 1 φ1+ sin φ 2 φ2+ sin γDγ ⋅ φ where Dγ ⋅ φ can be computed from the constraint equation as cos γ Dγ(φ) ⋅ φ ≡ cos φ 2 φ2 − cos φ1 φ 1 Thus, the equilibrium equations are g1(φ) ≡ sin φ 1 cos φ 1 − λ sin φ1 − tan γ cos φ 1 = 0 g2(φ) ≡ sin φ 2 cos φ 2 − λ sin φ2 + tan γ cos φ 2 = 0 The Hessian A(φ, λ) = ∇φ g(φ, λ) can be computed by taking the derivatives of the function g(φ) the components are λ cos(φ −γ)+ cos 2 φ sec 2 γ A11 = cos 2φ 1 − cos 1 1 γ λ cos φ cos φ = A 1 2 21 cos 3 γ λ cos(φ +γ)+ cos 2 φ sec 2 γ = cos 2φ 2 − cos 2 2 γ

The components of ∇λ g(φ, λ) can be computed easily from the equilibrium equations as A13 = − sin φ1 + tan γ cos φ 1 A23 = − sin φ2 − tan γ cos φ 2 The equations associated with the arc-length constraint are identical to the example problem in the text and need not be modified.

The first branch can be computed starting at the point ( 0, 0, 13) and moving in the direction of the first mode (--1, 1). Note that the eigenvectors of the linearized problem are slightly different for this parameterization. As you can see, the solution fails when the center bar goes to vertical because the constraint causes a computational error trying to find the arcsine of a number greater than one. Problem 287.

At the bifurcation point, compute the eigenvectors of the tangent stiffness matrix and switch to another equilibrium branch. Let us implement the constraint for the example problem in the text. The determinant of the Hessian matrix can be computed as c(θ, λ) ≡ det A(θ, λ) = 2−λ cos θ 1 1−λ cos θ 2 − 1 The derivatives with respect to θ 1, θ 2, and λ are, respectively, A31 = λ sin θ 1 1−λ cos θ 2 A32 = λ sin θ 2 2−λ cos θ 1 A33 = − cos θ 1 1−λ cos θ 2 − cos θ 2 2−λ cos θ 1

The bars are hinged k together and are restrained by elastic springs that resist relative rotation. The ℓ θ2 k springs accrue force in proportion to ℓ( cos θ1 + cos θ 2 + cos θ3) their extension, with modulus k. The θ1 ℓ system is subjected to an axial force P. k Lateral loads can be viewed as imperfections to a purely axial loading system. Modify the equations of equilibrium to allow the applications of the lateral loads Á 1 P, Á 2 P, and Á 3 P at locations ℓ, 2ℓ, and 3ℓ respectively, where Á i is a fixed value recording the ratio of the lateral load to the axial load.

Moving from a two by two system to a three by three system requires that we get a little more general with our solution of the eigenvalue problem at each step. The subroutine EIGENS solves the eigenvalue problem H φ = m Eφ where H is a symmetric N × N matrix and E is a diagonal N × N matrix. The diagonal elements of E are stored as a vector. For our purposes E = I. The eigenvalue problem is solved by the Jacobi algorithm wherein off-diagonal elements are zeroed by performing a rotation.

290. Modify the program ELASTICA to incorporate a distributed transverse loading q(x) on the cantilever column in addition to the load P. Examine the case where the transverse load is proportional to the axial load, as well as the case where the transverse load is fixed and the axial load is increased.
The expression for the virtual work functional for the elastica with transverse load was derived in Problem 263 in Chapter 11. The result for q(x) = q o is
θ′θ′ − λ sin θ+γ 1−ξ cos θ θ dξ ℓ
G(λ, θ, θ) =

where ξ ≡ x∕ℓ, λ ≡ P∕EI, and γ ≡ q o∕P. The directional derivatives of the virtual work functional can be computed as DG ⋅ ∆θ DG ⋅ ∆λ

It is clear that the response is dominated by the first mode for this structure. The contributions of the higher modes decreases with mode number.
292. Modify the program ELASTICA to use polynomial base functions. Examine the performance of the system as the number of base functions is increased. Compare the performance of the polynomial functions with the eigenfunctions.

One can clearly see the differences between the polynomial basis and the eigenbasis. At four terms the solution still changes quite a bit with the addition of another base function. The last row, called Rot, is the value θ(ℓ) computed from the approximation. It is evident that the load and rotation are converging as the number of base functions increases. For a point of reference we can interpolate the values from Problem 290 to give a load value of 3.289 at a displacement of 1.532, an error of less than 1%. The conditioning of the system of equations (as measured by the ratio of the largest to the

smallest eigenvalues of the tangent stiffness matrix) is considerably worse for the polynomial basis.
293. Modify the program ELASTICA to account for a nonlinear moment curvature relationship of the form M(κ o) =
EI o κ o
1+mo κ 2o
where EI o and m o are material constants. Note that for small values of m o, the constitutive model reduces to the linear model originally used. The material is hyperelastic because an energy function exists such that M = ∂W(κ o)∕∂κ o . What is the strain energy function W? Plot the bifurcation diagrams for various values of the material constants.
The strain energy function can be computed by finding the anti-derivative (indefinite integral) of the moment W(κ o) =
M(κ ) dκ o
o
EI = mo o
1+m κ o
2 o
−1
where the constant of integration has been set to give zero energy when the curvature is zero. The validity of this expression can be demonstrated by differentiating the result to give the original relationship between moment and curvature. The curvature is related to the rotation as κ o = θ′. The virtual work functional from Problem 290 can be modified to read
m(θ′) θ′ − λ sin θ+γ 1−ξ cos θ θ dξ ℓ
G(λ, θ, θ) =
0
where the function m(θ′) = M(θ′)∕EI o and the parameter λ ≡ P∕EI o. We can compute the directional derivative of G in the direction of ∆ θ as
m′(θ′)∆ θ′θ′ − λ cos θ−γ 1−ξ sin θ ∆ θ θ dξ ℓ
DG ⋅ ∆ θ =
0
where the derivative of the function m(θ′) is given by −3∕2 dm(κ o) = 1+m o κ 2o dκ o

One can observe that the nonlinear moment-curvature relationship causes the column to exhibit a limit point under the applied loading.
294. Modify the program ELASTICA to use piecewise linear finite element base functions. Examine the performance of the system as the number of base functions is increased. Compare the performance of the finite element base functions with the polynomial functions. The modification to the program involves only the definition of the base functions in the subroutine FCN. We have implemented the base functions given in the text, specialized for equidistant spacing of the nodes. To wit,

The program was run for the problem with γ = 0.1 with from two to nine base functions starting at the state a = 0 and λ = 0 moving in the direction a = 0 and λ = 1. The arc length was set at α = 0.5 and the problem was run for 10 steps. The number of integration points was set to 200 to be certain that the integration was accurate for the finest discretization. (See Problem 300 for more discussion on this point.) The values of the input parameters are given below. Problem 294. Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics Convergence tolerance : .1000E-07 Arc length parameter : .5000 Number of load steps : 10 Maximum number of iterations : 30 Number of integration intervals : 200 Column Length : 1.0000 Transverse load ratio to P : .1000
The results are summarized below. The values of the displacement coefficients and load at the end of step 10 are presented for each approximation. Since the solution is controlled by the arc-length, the place on the path that the solutions falls is different for each case.

The condition number (ratio of maximum to minimum eigenvalues of the tangent stiffness matrix) at step 10 is presented for each approximation. One can observe that the finite element equations are very well conditioned. For the 4-term approximation we can compare with the polynomial basis (Problem 292) and the eigenbasis (Problem 291). The polynomial basis had a condition number of 6855, the eigenbasis had 38, and the finite element basis had 33.
295. Describe a method for using the program NONLINEARBEAM to locate the bifurcation points of a system without imperfections.
Technically, the constraint c(x) ≡ det K(x) = 0, where K(x) is given in the text and x ≡ ( λ, a ), would be a suitable constraint for homing in on a critical point. However, observing that there are three fields in the approximation, the dimension of the matrix K(x) gets large as the order of the approximation (i.e., the number of base functions) increases. Computation of the determinant is not very practical for large systems of equations. Linearization of the constraint is also difficult. We can observe that an eigenvalue of the tangent stiffness matrix goes to zero at a critical point let the eigenvalue problem be stated as K(x) φ = m φ Because the tangent stiffness matrix is a function of the state x so are the eigenvalue m and the eigenvector φ (implicitly). The constraint equation can be stated as c(x) = m(x) = 0 The eigenvalue problem at any given state can be solved by any of a variety of algorithms. Thus, let us assume that m(xo) and φ(xo) can be computed at the state xo. The constraint equation can be linearized to be c^(x) = ∇m(x o) ∆x + m(xo) = 0 where [∇m] i = ∂m∕∂xi. The gradient of the eigenvalue with respect to x can be computed from the original eigenvalue problem. Taking the derivative we find ∇K−∇m I φ + K−m I ∇φ = 0
Multiplying the above equation by φT annihilates the second term, and hence obviates the need to compute the rate of change of the eigenvector. Rearranging terms we arrive at the result ∇m ∆x = φT ∇K ∆x φ if φ is normalized such that φT φ = 1. The above expression can be computed in components to be φi Kij, k φ j ∆ xk. This equation gives us what we need to form the bordered

Hessian matrix. The main issue in this computation is how to compute ∂K∕∂ai and ∂K∕∂λ. It is possible, albeit tedious, to compute these terms analytically. The main difficulty is that K depends implicitly on the load parameter through the internal moment, shear, and axial force. One can also compute these derivatives numerically by augmenting x and taking the difference, essentially replacing ∇K with ∂K ≈ K(x+δx i ei ) − K(x ) ∂xi δxi where ei is a vector with a one in the ith slot and zeros everywhere else. The value of δxi must be chosen small enough to give a good approximation but large enough to avoid an ill-conditioned operation.
296. Explore the features of the program NONLINEARBEAM by using it to solve the cantilever beam problem under a variety of loading scenarios.
This problem is open-ended and, as such, has no identifiable “solution” to present. Some suggestions on loading scenarios include investigation of the effects of proportional versus non-proportional transverse loading on the buckling behavior of the beam and the effects of different transverse load distributions. One can make comparisons with some of the classical results that are available in the literature. 297. Modify the program NONLINEARBEAM to account for initial geometric imperfections in the column. Is it sufficient to specify imperfections only in the field w(x)?
It is not sufficient to consider only an imperfection in the transverse displacement w(x). One also needs to consider an imperfection in the rotation field. It is not really necessary to consider imperfections in the axial displacement u, but we can. Let the imperfection fields be called uo(x), wo(x), and θ o(x). The strains associated with the initial imperfections are κ oi = θ o′ β oi = wo′ cos θ o − 1+uo′ sin θ o Á oi = wo′ sin θ o + 1+uo′ cos θ o − 1 The initial strains are accounted for in the constitutive equations M = EI κ o − κ oi Q = GA β o − β oi N = EA Á o − Á oi

Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics
Since the initial strains are not a function of the subsequent displacements, which are measured from a nominal straight configuration, there are no further complications from initial imperfections. We must be specific about the variation of the initial imperfection fields. We can, for example consider a shear-free initial imperfection by taking uo(ξ) = 0
wo(ξ) = co 1− cos
πξ 2
πξ θ o(ξ) = π c o sin 2 2ℓ
where ξ ≡ x∕ℓ, so that wo′−θ o = 0. If the constant co is small there should be only an effect on the moment equation. The changes to the program are minor. First, the value of co must be input. In the main program we can read in this value as cimperf c.... Read problem parameters read(5,1000) tol,alpha,xlength [ code between is unchanged ] read(5,1000) (dpo(i),i=1,3) read(5,1000) cimperf

298. Modify the subroutine basis in the program NONLINEARBEAM to use piecewise linear finite-element base functions. Examine the performance of the system as the number of base functions is increased. Compare the performance of the finite element base functions with the sinusoids used in the original program.
The finite element base functions are simple to implement and are identical to those implemented in Problem 294. The program NONLINEARBEAM was already structured to make the change to a new basis simple. The new subroutine BASIS is given as C C C

One can observe that the solution with the linear finite element base functions shows a tendency to shear lock, that is, displacements are constrained to very small values because the contribution to the tangent stiffness from the shear term does not have the appropriate rank. This phenomenon is well-known and can be cured by “reduced integration” of the system matrices. One point integration, with the sampling point at the element center, is known to cure the shear-locking problem. We can trick the program into doing one-point integration by making a modification to the SIMPSON subroutine. We have adjusted the weights in the Simpson rule to give all of the weight to the midpoint of a segment and none to the ends. If the number of integration points is equal to the number of base functions then we achieve the appropriate reduced integration scheme. C C C

299. Modify the basis subroutine in the program NONLINEARBEAM to use the polynomials hi (x) ∈ x, x2,. . ., x N . Examine the performance of the system as the number of base functions is increased using the pure bending problem. Are these functions able to capture the exact solution, which is a circular shape, as shown in the text example? Why is convergence so difficult with a large number of base functions? Implement the orthogonal base functions described in Chapter 6. Do these base functions work better than the original polynomials?
The modification of the subroutine BASIS is straightforward. For the polynomials hi given above the routine is C C C

One can clearly see the difference between the original and orthogonal polynomials. For the 3-term approximation the results are essentially identical. As the order increases the original polynomials give out while the orthogonal polynomials do very well. The solution with 6 original polynomial base functions failed to converge on the 6th load step out of 10. Ill-conditioning is the culprit for the failure to converge. The solution for the orthogonal polynomials is still robust at 6 terms. It is interesting to observe the reluctance to rotate beyond a certain point in the low-order polynomials (both original and orthogonal).

Therefore, all iterates do must lie on a sphere of radius α centered on the converged state xn. One of the problems with this stratexn x n+1 gy is that the equilibrium path pierces the sphere at α two points (at least). For a highly nonlinear equilibrium path the Newton iterations can converge to the other point on the sphere, which causes the loading x direction to change. We can observe this phenomenon in the program NONLINEARBEAM if the step size is not judiciously chosen. Once the loading direction has turned around, it is not likely to change back. Consider another possible constraint pictured on the following page. The difference between the estimate xν and xo is forced to lie in a hyperplane normal to the tangent direction do ≡ xo − x n. The normal plane is set a distance α from xn. Therefore, ‖ do ‖= α. How can one compute the tangent direction do ? Show that the normality condition is dν ⋅ d o = α 2, where the νth increment in state is dν ≡ xν − x n.

these constraints in the program NONLINEARBEAM and assess their performance. Are there advantages over the arc-length constraint? Are there disadvantages?
(a) How can one compute the tangent direction do ? Observe that x = ( λ, a ), where a is the vector of displacement coefficients and λ is the load parameter. The tangent direction can be obtained by examining the linearized equilibrium equations g^ (λ, a) = 0. We have g^ (λ, a) = K(a) ∆a + k(λ) ∆ λ + g(λ, a) = 0 At the state xn = ( λn, an ) equilibrium is satisfied. Therefore g(λn, an) = 0. To find the tangent direction we need only assume a unit increment in the load parameter and compute the corresponding change in displacement. To wit, let do ≡ ( 1, ∆a o ). The increment in displacement can then be computed by solving the system of equations K(an) ∆ao = −k(λ n) The vector do can subsequently be normalized to have length ‖ do ‖= α. Note that if the current state is on a downhill branch of the equilibrium path, as evidenced by negative eigenvalues of the tangent stiffness K(an), then the choice do ≡ ( −1, ∆a o ) is appropriate. Clearly, the computation will fail if K(an) is singular, as it is at a limit point or bifurcation point. (b) Show that the normality condition is dν ⋅ d o = α 2, where the νth increment in state is dν ≡ xν−x n. By definition of the method the increment xν−x o is orthogonal to the tangent line do . Thus, 0 = d o ⋅ xν−x o 0 = d o ⋅ xν−x n + xn−x o 0 = d o ⋅ xν−x n − do ⋅ xo−x n 0 = d o ⋅ xν−x n − do ⋅ d o Since do ⋅ d o = α 2 we get the result do ⋅ xν−x n = α 2 . Letting dν ≡ xν−x n then gives the desired result. (c) Develop a method based upon a secant direction where do ≡ xn−x n−1 (the previous two converged states). How would you start a method based on this definition? The method is identical to the previous one except that it avoids the computation of the tangent direction from the condition given in part (b). Since there is no state x−1 the method cannot be started with a secant. Because most problems start out linear, one might start the secant method with the tangent direction do ≡ ( 1, ∆a o ) with ∆ao computed from the equation K(0) ∆a o = −k(0) The secant method can commence on the second step. As an alternative, a guess at the next direction can be an input to the algorithm (as it is for most of the programs in the

chapter). This approach is necessary if starting from a bifurcation point since the tangent computation fails there. (d) Implement these constraints in the program NONLINEARBEAM and assess their performance. Are there advantages over the arc-length constraint? Are there disadvantages? The tangent line algorithm appears to have little advantage over the regular arc-length constraint.
301. When using finite element base functions in the programs ELASTICA and NONLINEARBEAM, most of the integration points contribute nothing to the integrals because the base functions are zero over much of the region. Restructure the order of the programs to make them more efficient by putting the loop over integration points inside the loop over base functions.
The modification to the program in Problem 294 involves a change in the way the computations are organized. In the main program the dimension of the arrays for the base functions is changed to 2 because only two base functions will be non-zero at any one time. dimension A(nn,nn),b(nn),x(nn),xo(nn),h(2),dh(2)
Also in the main program, the integration of the Hessian and residual components is changed to have a loop over “elements” with an inner loop over integration points within that element. c....

h(2) = (z-za)/(zb-za) dh(1) = -dfloat(ndm)/xlength dh(2) = dfloat(ndm)/xlength return end

The program was run for the problem with γ = 0.1 with from two to nine base functions starting at the state a = 0 and λ = 0 moving in the direction a = 0 and λ = 1, exactly as was done in Problem 294. The arc length was set at α = 0.5 and the problem was run for 10 steps. The number of integration points were set to 2 (per element). The values of the input parameters are given below. Problem 183.

The results are summarized below. The values of the displacement coefficients and load at the end of step 10 are presented for each approximation. Since the solution is controlled by the arc-length the place on the path that the solutions falls is different for

The condition number (ratio of maximum to minimum eigenvalues of the tangent stiffness matrix) at step 10 was the same as those reported in Problem 294, as expected. The small differences in the values reported here and those reported in Problem 294 are due to the accuracy of numerical integration. Ironically, the numerical integration is more accurate in the present implementation than in the former implementation. The finite element base functions are not smooth. When we do Simpson quadrature, which approximates the curve as a quadratic, over the entire segment (Problem 294) we suffer under the inaccuracy of the method trying to integrate over the peaks of the base functions and the jumps in their derivatives (and the ambiguity if a sampling point is right at the jump). The numerical integration can be made arbitrarily accurate by taking more segments, but that number is unacceptably large. In the present implementation we integrate within each element and sum over all elements. In doing so we explicitly account for the peaks and jumps in the functions. A two-segment (5 sampling points) Simpson quadrature is very accurate in this case. Also, with this organization, the number of integration points increases as the order of approximation increases (i.e., two segments per element times nine elements is 18 segments, far below the 200 used in Problem 294).
302. Add a subroutine to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of K(a) at each point on the equilibrium path in the program NONLINEARBEAM to examine the stability of equilibrium. Implement a procedure for branch switching so that the program will trace the bifurcation diagram when there are no imperfections.
Finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the tangent stiffness matrix is simply a matter of a call to the subroutine EIGENS that we have used in the other programs. The implementation involves providing storage space, as indicated in these commands in the main program, parameter (nn=ndm-1) dimension AA(nn,nn),U(nn,nn),e(nn)
and preparing for the eigenvalue problem, and calling the subroutine, again in the main program c.... Compute eigenvalues of Tangent stiffness matrix do j=1,nn

To get the solution to switch from the trivial branch to a buckled configuration we simply watch for a change in sign of the first eigenvalue.

One can see that the first occurrence of a negative first eigenvalue is step 21. Thus, the bifurcation path is sought in step 22. The actual bifurcation point is λ = 10, which is approximately reached in step 20. However, in step 20 the first eigenvalue is still positive (albeit very near zero). This worst case scenario gives us about a two step lag in getting on the right path. We show the jump onto the path with a dotted line in the figure. 20
