Task 06 (10 marks)
Beam Analysis
The beam is made of ASTM A36 ISO sb beam 80 x 6 mm as shown in Figure 6.
• Crossed section area (As) = 768 mm2
• Modulus of Elasticity (E) = 200 GPa
• Moment of Inertia (I) = 775549 mm4
• Point Load (F) = 7th digit of Student ID × 1000 N
• Uniform Distribution Load (W) = 5th digit of Student ID × 1000 N/m
This is a linear static implicit FE analysis.
Figure 6 (Raoufi, 2015)
1. Create the FE model of the beam and name it YourFullName_Task06.sldprt, using the
Solidworks Simulation to
• determine the maximum displacement and rotation of the beam.
• determine the reaction force A and B.
• create the Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram.
• determine the axial stress in the beam.
2. For the statically indeterminate beam, using the Direct Stiffness Method to
• determine the maximum displacement and rotation of the beam.
• determine the reaction force A and B.
• sketch the Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagram.
• determine the axial stress of the beam.
3. Tabulate, compare and discuss the results. Word count 500 words (+/– 10%).
