Transcribed Image Text:By using two (2) beam elements to model the beam, the nodal degrees of freedom are:
NODE 2
NODE 3
-0.014
-0.031
-0.004

At a section 3 m from the fixed end of the beam, calculate by using finite element method:
(i) the deflection;
(ii) the shear force;
(iii) the bending moment;
(iv) the maximum bending stress.
