PART B (5 16 = 80 Marks)
11. (a) Find the stresses induced in the axially loaded stepped bar shown in
Figure 1. The bar has cross = sectional areas of ( )1A and ( )2A over the
lengths ( )1l and ( )2l respectively. Assume the following data : ( )1A = 2 cm2
( )2A =1 cm2 ; ( )1l = ( )2l =10 cm ; ( ) ( ) 721 102=== EEE N/cm 2 13 =p N.

Or
(b) What is a convergence criterion? Using Finite Element methods obtain a
sequence of approximate solutions as the element size is reduced
successively.
12. (a) Find the approximate deflection of a simply supported beam under a
uniformly distributed load p (Figure 2) using the Rayleigh = Ritz method.
