Overview
In this report, you will develop and validate a finite element code written in Python for solving EulerBernoulli beam theory.
The code will extend the one you developed for a linear elastic bar in 1D.

Validation problems
Consider a 12 m beam with $EI = 1e4$ Nm. Ensure that your code is indeed producing the correct results by comparing the computeddeflection and possibly rotation with the analytical solution for the following loading conditions:

An end-loaded cantilever beam with point load of $P = -10$ N acting at $x = 12$ m. The beam is fully fixed at $x=0$. Compare the computed tip deflection and rotation with the analytical solution.
A cantilever beam with a distributed load of $f = -1$ N/m acting over the length of the beam. The beam is fully fixed at $x=0$. Compare the computed tip deflection and rotation with the analytical solution.
An off-center-loaded simple beam with a point load of $P = -10$ N acting at $x = 3$ m. Deflections are 0 at $x=0$ and $x=L$. Ensure that the load acts at a node. You only need to compare your solution to the analytical solution for the position of, and deflection at, the point of maximum displacement.
A uniformly-loaded simple beam with a distributed load of $f = -1$ N/m acting over the length of the beam. Deflections are 0 at $x=0$ and $x=L$. You only need to compare the deflection along the length of the beam to the analytical solution.

Where possible, you should test your code for one element and for multiple elements.

Consult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering) for analytical solutions and descriptions of the loading.

Problem A: Beam structure with linear loading
Now consider the $L = 12$ m beam shown below. The beam is fully fixed at point A $(x = 0)$. A distributed load of $f(x) = -1$ N/m acts between points A and B. Point loads $P_1 = -10$ N and $P_2 = 5$ N act at $x = 4$ m and $x = 8$ m, respectively. Natural boundary conditions are comprised of a traction $overline{Q} = -20$ N and a moment $overline{M} = 20$ Nm both acting at point C $(x = L)$. The product $EI = 1e4$ Nm${}^2$.

Assumptions
The code you develop for this problem should assume that the number of elements is a multiple of 3. This will ensure that the point loads are applied directly at a node (why is this important?).

Outputs
Use your validated code to:

Determine the reaction force and moment at point A (for 12 elements). Use these to confirm that your output is correct.
Plot the deflection $w$ over the length of the beam (for 12 elements).
Plot the rotation $mathsf{d} w / mathsf{d} x$ over the length of the beam (for 12 elements).
Plot the bending moment $M$ over the length of the beam (for 12 elements).

In[]:

Problem B: Beam structure with nonlinear loading
Problem B is identical to that considered in Problem A but the distributed load is given by
begin{align}
f(x) = sin (pi x / 8) && text{for} && 0 leq x leq 8 , .
end{align}
Furthermore, the material properties are no longer constant and
begin{align}
EI = 1e4 (13 x), text{ Nm}^2 , .
end{align}

For meshes of $3,3^2,3^3,3^4$ elements, generate plots of

deflection (at $x=4$ m) versus the number of degrees of freedom.
$ sqrt{int_0^ell w^2(x) , mathsf{d} x}$ versus the number of degrees of freedom.

Explain the method you have used to perform the numerical integration provide a validation example that shows your method works.

Comment on the convergence of the solution.
