PROBLEM 6.6
Evaluate the stiffness matrix for the element shown in Figure P6-6. The coordinates are shown in
units of millimeters. Assume plane stress conditions. Let E 210 GPa, 0.25 , and thickness
t 10 mm.

We first set the position coordinates of nodes 1, 2, 3, up to 6 as (x,y) with indices 1,2,3, up to 6
respectively.
