Chapter 2, Problem 19E

A bar in the figure is under the uniformly distributed load q due to gravity. For a linear elastic material with Young’s modulus E and uniform cross-sectional area A, the governing differential equation can be written as A E = d 2 u d x 2 + q = 0 , where u ( x ) is the downward displacement. The bar is fixed at the top and free at the bottom. Using the Galerkin method and two equal-length finite elements, answer the following questions.

a. Starting from the above differential equation, derive an integral equation using the Galerkin method.

b. Write the expression of boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = L . Identify whether they are essential or natural boundary conditions.

c. Derive the assembled finite element matrix equation, and solve it after applying boundary conditions.
