Apply finite element method formulation for beams, and use only 2 elements of equal lengths to: (a) Find the deflection at the mid-length of the beam (in mm), (b) Find the reactions: Moment (kN.m) and force (kN) at the left support. The beam is fixed at the left end, and free at the right end. Use steel beam with E=210,000 MPa, and I=3.54 x107 mm (250 UB 25.7). You can use Excel or MATLAB to do matrix operations. If you do so, then insert snapshots of Excel tabs or MATLAB scripts. You need to show the solution procedure, i.e., calculation of the stiffness matrix, load vectors, elimination approach, etc. (m) .P (KN) () w(kle)
