CST Based Problems

The document contains examples related to finite element analysis, including calculations for triangular elements, stiffness matrices, and stresses under various conditions. It provides specific parameters such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and temperature effects for different scenarios. The examples illustrate the application of these concepts in engineering contexts, particularly in relation to plane stress and plane strain conditions.
