Abstract: The stepped bar is involved in many engineering application. These stepped bar systems suffer from the occurrence of deflection and stresses due to axial loading. These stresses and deflections have been examined to avoid possible resulting failure. This paper explains the application of finite element method for the analysis of a stepped bar subjected to an axial load. The element configurations that are studied range from one dimensional to three dimensional type and various mesh configurations. The Finite Element analysis results are compared with exact analytical solution and numerical solution of the stepped bar and this shows the elemental behavior of the stepped bar. The paper discusses the comparison of analytical exact solution, numerical solution and FEA results from ANSYS software.
