Question:

For the plane stress element shown in Figure P15 -13 subjected to a uniform temperature drop of T = 50 °F, determine the thermal force matrix {fT}.
3 (2, 1) (0, 0) (4, 0)

Let E = 10 × 106 psi v = 0.30, and α = 12.5 × 10-6 (in./in.)/°F. The coordinates (in inches) are shown in the figure. The element thickness is t 51in.
