Military Institute of Science and Technology: Assignment 3

The document describes the finite element analysis of two truss structures. For the first structure, it provides the node coordinates, element connectivity, material properties, and input data for a 9-node, 15-element truss. For the second problem, it similarly defines the 6-node, 9-element roof truss and requests output of nodal displacements and member stresses. The document contains the detailed input data required to analyze the truss structures using a finite element code.
