beamUDL {FEA}

beamUDL

Description

Uniformly distributes load over the length of the beam.

Usage

beamUDL(beamP, beamT, Length, fx, fy)

Arguments

beamP

Matrix (2 x n) of beam coordinates.

beamT

Matrix (2 x n) containing the number of the coordinate point as shown in beamP that connect to form a given beam (Discretization table).

Length

Length of beam.

fx

Load value (newtons) in the x direction.

fy

Load value (newtons) in the y direction.

Value

Produces matrix representing uniformly distributed load on beam

DLMatrix

Column matrix for beam distributed load

ExpandedDLMatrix

Expanded beam distribution load

ReductedDLMatrix

Reduced beam distribution load

Examples

data(beamGeo)
data(beamDime)

Length = beamDime$Length
beamUDL = beamUDL(beamGeo$beamP, beamGeo$beamT, Length, beamGeo$fx, beamGeo$fy)
