Two identical beams of length (1 mathrm{~m}) are clamped at one end and connected by a bolt,

Question:

Two identical beams of length \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) are clamped at one end and connected by a bolt, as shown in figure 9.34. An upward transverse force of \(240 \mathrm{~N}\) is applied to the bolted joint. Assume \(E I=1000 \mathrm{Nm}^{2}\). Use two beam elements to determine the deflection at the bolted joint. Compare the deflection with that of example 3.6 of chapter 3.

Data From Example 3.6 of Chapter 3:

A beam of length 2 m is clamped at both ends and subjected to a downward transverse force of 240 N at the center, as shown in figure 3.15. Assume EI = 1000 Nm2. Use beam finite elements to determine the deflections and slopes at x=0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m.
