$\delta = \dfrac{PL}{AE} = \dfrac{\sigma L}{E}$ To use this formula, the load must be axial, the bar must have a uniform cross-sectional area, and the stress must not exceed the proportional limit. If however, the cross-sectional area is not uniform, the axial deformation can be determined by considering a differential length and applying ...

Displacement diagrams are effectively plotting the displacement vectors of the joints as defined by the end of the bars. The displacement vector for the end of a bar is made up of two components: (1) an extension, of a magnitude defined by the bar force and the constitutive behavior of the bar which is parallel to the direction of the bar and (2) a
Consider the beam of Fig. 1.14 axially loaded along the x axis in com-pression. If a small load or displacement is applied laterally at the location of the axial load, the beam bends slightly. If the lateral load is removed, the beam returns to its straight position.
You're trying to find the displacement of the bar with the load distributed longitudinally at a point A. You use the formula displacement = PL/AE where P=load, L=length of member, A=cross-sectional area tangent to the load, and E=Young's modulus.
– Difficult to find approx solution that satisfies displacement BC • Finite element approximates solution in an element – Make it easy to satisfy dis placement BC using interpolation technique • Beam element – Divide the beam using a set of elements – Elements are connected to other elements at nodes
We determine the constants of integration by evaluating our expression for displacement v(x) and/or our expression for the slope dv/dx at points where we are sure of their val-ues. One such boundary condition is that, at x=0 the displacement is zero, i.e., vx()= 0 x = 0 Another is that, at the support point B, the displacement must vanish, i.e.,
\(\delta_P = \dfrac{PL^3}{48EI}\) where the length \(L\) and the moment of inertia \(I\) are geometrical parameters. If the ratio of \(\delta_P\) to \(P\) is measured experimentally, the modulus \(E\) can be determined. A stiffness measured this way is called the flexural modulus.
