%=====CME434 Fall 06: HW8 assigned on 11/22/06 is due on 12/04/06

Using MATLAB, write a script to read input data files for 2D objects, make a finite element analysis using constant strain triangles, and present the results. An example data file hw80data.txt is available for download.

8.1  Solve Chandrupatla's Problem 5.15 (start with 2 CST's).
8.2  Solve Chandrupatla's Problem 5.20 (an infinite line load).
8.3  Analyse the 1" thick bar fastened with two bolts shown in the figure distributed in lecture.
8.4  Analyse the shelf bracket shown in the figure distributed in lecture.  Make appropriate assumptions about the Boundary Conditions.
8.5  Define and solve a problem that interests you using finite element methods.

You may generate the mesh manually and create the input data files using a text editor.
