I am glad to make it into some sort of tutorial, if someone can verify that it is right and agree that it is useful. I will also gladly add pictures and additional explanations or remove stuff.

So, I think I am finally understanding this problem. I worked out a very long winded solution, using FEA and Rayleigh-Ritz as well as an analytical solution that I put here if anyone wants to check it out and tell me if I am really getting this: http://www.siue.edu/~rkrauss/sfepy/axial_rod_2_out.pdf
Wow, what a long file! Will you put it contribute it to some sfepy tutorial?
For me it's unintuitive those funny {E} symbols, but I guess that's the standard notation in FEM. :)
