Question

The following figure represents a 3-nodes, two-element truss structure with identical cross-sectional area A = 100 mm2 and modulus E = 200 GPa for each element. It is supported by a pin at global node 1, an inclined roller at 135˚ at global node 2 and a horizontal roller at global node 3. A force P = 400 kN is applied at global node 2. Using the direct approach and the minimum number of linear finite elements, what would be the displacement at the global node 2 of the inclined roller in its local coordinate system?
