6. A tapered bar of length 600 mm is having cross sectional areas of 650 mm² and 350 mm² at two ends. The bar is fixed at the end having larger area and subjected to axial forces 40 kN which is acting axially outwards at the smaller end and 20 kN, acting at a point 200 mm from smaller end and directing axially towards the larger side. The Modulus of Elasticity of the bar is 700 x 10³ N/mm². Model the bar with three finite elements and Determine i The nodal displacements. ii The stresses in each element. iii The reaction force at the support.

Question
6. A tapered bar of length 600 mm is having cross sectional areas of 650 mm? and 350
mm? at two ends. The bar is fixed at the end having larger area and subjected to axial
forces 40 kN which is acting axially outwards at the smaller end and 20 kN, acting at
a point 200 mm from smaller end and directing axially towards the larger side. The
Modulus of Elasticity of the bar is 700 x 103 N/mm2. Model the bar with three finite
elements and Determine
i The nodal displacements.
ii The stresses in each element.
iii The reaction force at the support.
