A structure is consisted of an I-section beam and two tube trusses. The structure contains several imperfections and it is loaded by the force Fz. The self-weight is neglected in this example. Determine the deflections uy and uz and axial rotation φx at the endpoint (Point 4). The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.
A simple oscillator consists of mass m (considered only in the x-direction) and linear spring of stiffness k. The mass is embedded on a surface with Coulomb friction and is loaded by constant-in-time axial and transverse forces.
The goal of this example is to demonstrate an irreversible process caused by friction. After the loading and unloading, the end-point is in a different position than where it was at the beginning. Determine the movement of the node in the X direction.
Determine the maximum deflection of a cube. The cube's lower side is fully fixed and the upper side is subjected to shear loading.
