EulerBeamFEA: EulerBeamFEA

In FEA: Finite Element Modeling for R

EulerBeamFEA

Description

Calculates stress in beam structures using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.

Usage

EulerBeamFEA(Y, beamP, beamT, fx, fy, BCtran, BCrot, Length, MoI, RotAng)

Arguments

Y	Elastic modulus value for material (Pa).
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).
fx	Load value (newtons) in the x direction.
fy	Load value (newtons) in the y direction.
BCtran	Boundary constraint for nodes to translate in x or y directions. Input as a non-matrix column.
BCrot	Boundary constraint for nodes to rotate. Input as a non-matrix column.
Length	Length of beam.
MoI	Moment of inertia for each beam segment.
RotAng	Angle of rotation

Value

Calculates local forces and stresses, as well as bending stress for beams following the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.

Stress	Local stress at node
LocalLoad	Local load at node
BendingStress	Bending Stress

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamDime)

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