beamStress function

beamStress

Calculates local stress and strain for beam elements

beamStress(beamP, beamT, Y, Length, MoI, RotAng, BND)

Arguments

• beamP: Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.
• beamT: Matrix (2 x n) containing the number of the coordinate point as shown in beamP that connect to form a given beam (Discretization table).
• Y: Value of Young's (Elastic) modulus
• Length: Length of beam
• MoI: Moment of Inertia
• RotAng: Angle of rotation
• BND: Global nodal displacement matrix, return from function beamNodeDis

Returns

Completes FEM by calculating values of stress and strain, produces three (3) [3 x n] matrix. - BendingStress: Bending Stress

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamGLforce)

Length = beamDime$Length
MoI = beamDime$MomentofInertia
RotAng = beamDime$Angle
BND = beamND

beamBendStress = beamStress(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$beamT, beamGeo$Y, Length, MoI, RotAng, BND)
