From the minim-ization of potential energy, we get the formula: As with the bar element, the strain energy of the element is given by. Clearly, something in this task is more difficult to solve.
Heck Even for 500FE along the length, the difference is still there (299.7 vs 299.4MPa). For 10 elements, the difference is still there (285 vs 271.5MPa). spool pieces) now with visualisation tool I mean, in the previous example with 3 QUAD4 the answer was 250MPa, while wow it’s only 216.7MPa.
