Description
Summary:In this study, the structure of computer program which solves the elastic and elasto-plastic stress analysis of machine elements that are manufactured isotrop materials or metal -matrix composites materials by using the finite element method, have been explained. An isoparametric rectangular element with nine nodes have been taken and Lagrange polynomials have been used as interpolation function. A computer program has been developed which solves the linear equation systems accurately by using optimum time and computer memory. In the calculation of plastic zone stress analysis initial stress method has been used. Two example solutions have been given for the related program. Fortran has been used as a program language.
