beamElementMat: beamElementMat

In FEA: Finite Element Modeling for R

beamElementMat

Description

Generates element stiffness matrix for beams.

Usage

beamElementMat(beamP, beamT, Y, Length, MoI)

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	Elastic modulus value for material.
Length	Length of beams.
MoI	Moment of inertia for each beam segment.

Value

Generates initial element matrix needed for the finite element model.

beamEmat

An element matrix of the beam

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamDime)

Length = beamDime$Length
MoI = beamDime$MomentofInertia

beamEmat = beamElementMat(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$beamT, beamGeo$Y, Length, MoI)
