degree-of-freedom per node). Test your work using the "wheel"-structure of HW 2. Below are a few suggestions for your
algorithm that I hope you find helpful.
%vector of element lengths (as many components as there are elements)
L = [..];
%vector of i-nodes (as many components as there are elements)

%vector of j-nodes (as many components as there are elements)

numel = length(ni);
%assembly loop
for el = 1:numel
%calculate element stiffness matrix kele of element el

%place element stiffness matrix at proper location into structure

%stiffness matrix (this is the key step)

Homework 6 (Due 02-04-10, 6 pm)
Problem 1
(1) Read and understand the handout on the 2D truss element.
(2) Use the principal of virtual work and the member forces given in the handout to verify the three displacements q free of
Eq. (5.45) of the example.
(3) Modify your MATLAB program for the beam element with four degrees-of-freedom (two dofs per node) by implementing the truss element with four degrees-of-freedom (two dofs per node) and test your algorithm by reproducing the results
of the example. From now on, we define the structure as we do in RISA, that is by inputting the x - and y coordinates of the
nodes (as vectors) in addition to the connectivity information. We do no longer input the length L of the members directly.
For the simple truss on the handout, the vectors of coordinates are
x = [0 8 4], y = [0 0 3];
Whenever we need the length L of an element we should calculate it by using Pythagoras' theorem
L = x 2 + y 2 =
(x j xi )
+ (y j yi )
(a) Save you function elestiff1.m as elestiff2.m and turn the 4x4 element stiffness matrix for the beam element into
the local 4x4 element stiffness matrix k for the truss element according to Eq. (5.13) of the handout (in the weeks
to come we will refer to the 2D truss element as element type 2). The result should be the function
function k = elestiff2(E,A,L)
where parameters E , A, L are the modulus of elasticity of the material, the cross-sectional area and length of the
element.
(b) Write a MATLAB function
function L = elelength(xs,xe,ys,ye)
that calculates the length L of a member where input parameters xs, xe, ys, ye are the x - and y - coordinates of the
start and end nodes of the element, respectively.
(c) Write a MATLAB function
function T = transele2(xs,xe,ys,ye)
that calculates the 4x4 transformation matrix T of a truss element according to Eq. (5.21) of the handout. Caution:
Do not calculate the angle before calculating sin and cos . You should calculate sin and cos directly
according to Eq. (5.38).
(d) Save any of your previous MATLAB work that uses the beam element to hw6.m and make the necessary
modifications. Note that the transformation matrix T comes into play twice: (1) in the first loop to calculate the
global element stiffness matrix k = TT kT according to Eq. (5.27) and (2) in the second loop when calculating the
local element displacements d = Td which are then multiplied by the local element stiffness matrix k to obtain the
member forces D (see Eq. (5.46)).

(a) Analyze the three-story frame in MATLAB using the 2-D frame element. Draw the bending moment, shear force and
axial force diagrams. You may use RISA but you need to show that your MATLAB results match those from RISA. Calculate the story drift ratios in %. Ignore axial deformation by assigning EA a large value (use EA = 108 ). The total base shear
is F = 600 k. Use what you learned in ARCE 371 to distribute the base shear to the floor levels. Floors 1 and 2 have identical weights, the roof weighs 50% of the floor.
Partial Solution
F3 = 187.5 k, M 26 = M 62 = 2614 k-ft(cw) , DR1 = 1.29 %
(b) Analyze the frame for pinned columns and determine the story drift ratios. You don't have to draw the internal force
diagrams.
(c) What is the required flexural stiffness EI of a grade beam 1-5 to limit the first story drift ratio of the frame to 1.5%.
Joints 1 and 5 are pinned as in (b).
Use the MATLAB function deflected_shape_frame(x,y,ns,ne,q,scale)(emailed to you) to plot the deflected shape of the three frame structure (use the same scale factor).

When using continuous girders in bridge design it is common to make the section at the interior supports significantly deeper than the sections in the span (see pictures). This practice results in architecturally more pleasing and more efficient
structures than using girders with uniform section depth. Since the region near the supports is stiffer than that near midspan,
the support "attracts" bending moment resulting in a larger support moment than for uniform moment of inertia along the
beam. The objective of this assignment is to quantify the relative increase in bending moment at the support compared to the
corresponding value for uniform stiffness ( M B 0 = wL2 / 8 ).
(1) Use the beam element implemented in MATLAB to analyze a two-span beam with varying second moment of inertia I .
For simplicity we work with piecewise constant moment of inertia as shown in the figure. Submit a single figure showing
the ratio M B / M B 0 (on the y - axis) as a function of the normalized length x / L (on the x - axis) where M B 0 and M B are the
bending moments at B for uniform and non-uniform moments of inertia, respectively. Plot four lines (for I 1 / I = 2, 4, 6, 8 )
and use 0 < x / L < 0.5 . Interpret the results.
(2) For I 1 / I =6 and L = 20 ft, x = 6 ft analyze the two-span beam by hand and draw the bending moment diagram. Make
sure your result matches that of (1).

(2) The 6x1 element force vector D0 (fixed-end forces) of element 35 in local (element) coordinates.
(3) The 6x1 element force vector D0 (fixed-end forces) of element 35 in global (structure) coordinates.
(4) The non-zero components of the structure force vector (value and location).
(5) Elements K 18,18 , K 18,3 and K12,1 of the structure stiffness matrix.
(6) The element of the structure stiffness matrix that relates the rotation of node 2 to the moment at node 6.

You are working with a somewhat eccentric architect on a single-story (cantilever) shear wall building and asked to
evaluate its seismic behavior.
Find the 3x3 stiffness matrix in units of kips and inches with respect to the three degrees-of-freedom u, v, shown.
(1) Use unit displacements along the three global degrees-of-freedom (as learned early this quarter) to find the global
stiffness matrix directly (hand analysis).
(2) Use local degrees-of-freedom u1, v1, u2 , v2 , u3 , v3 , u 4 , v4 defined somewhere along each wall along the global directions,
corresponding local wall stiffnesses and transformation matrices (hand analysis, except matrix products for which you can
use MATLAB). You may want to explain to yourself why it doesn't matter where along the wall you define the local dofs.
The story height is 14 ft. Ignore any out-of-plane stiffness of the shear walls.

(1) For the above frame structures, use MATLAB to find the stiffness matrix with respect to the degrees-of-freedom shown.
(2) If the girders of structure (b) are considered rigid find the stiffness matrix with respect to the degrees-of-freedom by
hand (think).
(3) For structures (a) and (c), use hand calculation to find the flexibility matrix F with respect to the degrees-of-freedom
shown.
Neglect axial deformation for all structures.
