beamGLForces: beamGLForces

In FEA: Finite Element Modeling for R

beamGLForces

Description

Uses nodal displacements to determine global and local forces at each node

Usage

beamGLForces(beamP, beamT, Y, MoI, Length, GMat, BUDL, BND)

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 of material
MoI	Moment of Inertia
Length	Length of beam
GMat	Global stiffness matrix
BUDL	Column matrix for beam distributed load
BND	beam nodal displacement, output from function "beamNodeDis"

Value

Matrices of global and local forces. (Results in kN)

GForce	Large global force matrix.
Lforce	Large local force matrix.

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamDime)
data(beamsUDL)
data(beamND)
data(beamGloMat)

Length = beamDime$Length
MoI = beamDime$MomentofInertia
BUDL = beamsUDL
BND = beamND
GMat = beamGloMat

GLforce = beamGLForces(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$beamT, beamGeo$Y, MoI, Length, GMat, BUDL, BND)
