Question

Using ANSYS, for the space truss subjected to the 4000-lb load acting as shown in figure on the right, determine the displacement of node 4. Also determine the stresses in each element. The coordinates of each node, in inches are shown in Figure 4. Nodes 1-3 are fixed supports. Let A = 6 in^2, E = 30 times 10^6 psi for element 1, A = 8 in^2, E = 20 times 10^6 psi for element 2, and A = 10 in^2, E = 5 times 10^6 psi for clement 3. Submit a plot of the displaced shape, listing of the nodal displacements and element stresses.

Explanation / Answer

The answer of the following question is as follows

For node 1 = node 4 =0

For node 3 =node 4 =6 cm
