1. For the bar elements shown in Figure P3–17, the global
displacements have been determined to be u

= 3:0 mm. Determine the local
x0 displacements at the ends of each bar. Let E = 210 GPa, A = 10 10

, and L = 3 m for each element.
2. Using the method of Section 3.5, determine the axial
stress in each of the bar elements shown in Figure P3–18.
